I Am Empowered By Gratitude Poem by malini kadir

I am empowered by gratitude
Endowed with obligation
I try to live on....
To pick up my steps
I was put under test
Only almighty must tell
Where i must rest......

I have had trouble
I must learn to face
life I must take as gamble.....
I learn as I walk
Life is a learning curve
Uphill the journey
of this soul...

Trying to let tears free fall.....
Answering a free calling
to write....against gravity....
Like musical notes,
Falling to a whisper...
For the pen,
Needs its freedom
The soul its flight

The ink its color
The paper its weight.....
To stop the winds,
From blowing it away....
A humble citizen
crushed by majority
to a mere full stop.

Constitution under
Difficult times
Democracy in its;
freedom zone
I foolish,
Desire of unity!

Unity in diversity
Secularism
Still intact
When will rivers unite
Top to toe revitalize.....
Perhaps ponds deep
Are better seen

Like inter node a catchment
At intervals along the river
People around my world
As human as life is simple
Catch my attentions
Till the higher purpose
has found its fulcrum

let my pen pause here....
