Hope And Desire Poem by SUVANKAR SEN

MY HOPE, MY DESIRE, BURNS ME,
AS CINDERS IN A GRATE,
I AM WORRIED, I NEED TO HURRY,
ELSE I WILL BE LATE.
I DON'T WANT TO BE LATE,
AS OPPURTUNITIES ARE FEW,
I MUST HURRY FAST,
ELSE MY HOPES WILL BE ESCHEWED.
I HAVE LIMITED TIME,
I HAVE TO ACCOMPLISH MUCH,
WITH WHAT RESOURCES I HAVE,
I NEED TO LEARN SUCH AND SUCH.
IN SUCH A LESS TIME,
I NEED TO LEARN A LOT,
AS MUCH AS I CAN PUT,
IT'S LIKE PUTTING OCEAN IN A POT.
MY HOPE GUIDES ME,
MY DESIRE THRUSTS ME,
MY POWER FUELS ME,
MY SPIRIT LOVES ME.
THE JOURNEY FOR ME IS TOO LONG,
THERE ARE ALWAYS RIGHTS AND WRONG,
BUT I NEED TO TRUST,
WHOM I MUST,
AND ALWAYS GLIDE ALONG,
THE WINDS OF LIFE,
WITH THE WINGS OF FIRE,
IN BETWEEN WARS AND STRIFE,
LEADS ME MY HOPE AND DESIRE.
BUT I KNOW ONE THING,
THAT KEEPS ME GOING,
THAT IS, MY DESIRES AND HOPES ARE MINE,
I DON'T CARE, HOW ARE THEY,
WHETHER HARSH OR DIVINE.
BUT I BELIEVE, IN THE END,
I AM GOING TO WIN,
WHILE SITTING ABOVE, HIGH IN THE ABODE,
HE SEES THE GREAT WORLD SPIN……………
