The Third Option Poem by Akhtar Jawad

The Third Option

Rating: 5.0


You say we rise to fall,
I say we fall to rise.
Best of luck my friend
rise and fall.
Let me fall to rise once again.
When you shall be falling from the skies
and I shall be rising from the earth,
somewhere among the twinkling stars
we shall pass each other.
With tears in my eyes I shall watch you falling
with a smile on your lips you'll watch my rising.
I offer you my friend
to shake our hands through the windows.
We shall hold the hands of each other tightly.
I am sure the resultant force
of the forces of friendship and love
will turn us in the third direction
and we shall land on a planet of compromise.

'Fortune and misfortune' is always there in life....so too rise and fall...it is just how we carry ourselves with strength passing through the phases...of course 'compromise' is a part of our strength... I offer you my friend to shake our hands through the windows. We shall hold the hands of each other tightly. I am sure the resultant force of the forces of friendship and love will turn us in the third direction and we shall land on a planet of compromise....love these lines very much Akhtar...thank you

There is dual vision and dual perception. Nine looks like six while we turn edge and same thing happens while we turn six it looks like nine. This is compromise of mind. Perception does magic. We may rise to fall or we may fall to rise, but if we have positive perspectives we shall succeed. Resultant force of friendship and love keeps it move in third direction and this is compromise after both rise and fall or fall and rise turns. Brilliant and emotive thoughtful poem is shared here...10

Rising and falling are natural occurrences....! But the ability to get up once fallen will make our life steady! The idea of a handshake in midair is thrilling! An enjoyable read!
