Fear Not, O Soul Poem by Praveen Kumar in Celestial Glow

Fear not, o soul, the vagaries of life,
The rise and fall and harmonies and strife;
Days and nights are the rules of nature,
Nothing of past hold steadfast for future;
Scenes change fast for better or worse,
Befalls from nowhere blessings or curse;
Rise and fall make exciting this life,
Rendering each phase intense and brief;
O soul, this detour in unexpected pitch
Makes life a melody - deep and also rich,
Be that bleeding pain or bliss that unwound
In scary wild dance on life's playground;
Fear not, o soul, the vagaries of life
In steep ups and downs in which it's rife.

Take all in good stead deep within the soul
And learn life's tricks to keep in self whole;
Life throbs in change, breathes its strains;
Vagaries do infuse fresh oxygen in veins
To force life onwards towards end-game,
Where all strive within to dissolve in final flame;
Fear not, o soul, the vagaries of life,
All comes and goes, it is the life's brief;
All is skin deep, nothing reaches core,
Mere slight scorches that in course disappear;
Vagaries bring spine, flows as life-blood,
Rebuilds inner strength, moulds as it ever should;
Life stilled is inner death, stunts further growth,
Pleasure or deep pain, vagaries are life's wealth.
