Prepare For The Unexpected Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

A mishap in the dark caused me to get trap
into a sinkhole
I cried and woke alone
to quiver in the cold
as the stench from the septic
gush beneath my feet
I could hardly breathe
the garbage from the street

to be separate like an island
away from any moon
the thought entered my mind
what will happen to my dream
should I leave here too soon
I am yet to give to the world
what I want to achieve
to fulfil the inspiration from my heart
and to share from the abundance I receive

with confidence courage and commitment
I learn as strong as the wind be my faith
I will not be deceive by time which is the mystery
of life and for me to have every reason to wait
the mountain will not fail to answer my cry
while I lay distress in the deep
I am the son of a pure sage
whose wisdom I carry in my heart though asleep

the winds of change will cause the waves
to stir a storm for me to float
to regain myself and to be enlighten with the knowledge to come out of the dirt
at the end of the tunnel
again I shall see the light
to defeat death by the power of the mind
I am happy to be out of the sinkhole
before the end of the night.
