A Moment Of Self Realisation Poem by Ravi Panamanna

AFTER THE EXAMINATION RESULTS. SOME OF US HAVE FACED THE FOLLOWING SITUATION IN OUR LIFE.
*************************************************************************

It was a moment of defeat,
A fall from all expectations.
It was a dip in the Jibralters,
A moment of self-realisation.

It was a moment of tears,
A sigh unto the passing winds.
It was a silent cry deep within,
A moment beyond the fountains of life.

It was a moment of self-repentance,
A moment of melting ego.
And in it melted all youthful vagracies-
A lesson for the unbridled horse.

And he stood between victory and defeat,
A war that was not well fought,
A battle that was grimly resisted,
Those vacation days that were wasted.

But now, with a promising heart
He hath decided to get out of the woods.
He now realises the truth
That Rome was not built in a single day.
