Winning Over Woes Poem by Gautam Sen

Grieves are gravels of life
that lay a foundation of might,
walking on it appears very tough,
but provides you a stupendous support
during the journey through
the twists and turns of life.
Life taking its own course
never stops, though sorrows
with its force slow down its flow.

Gloom glares within mind,
when hopes turning into despair
with darkness of cloud,
it makes your heart heavy.
Blues force you to surrender
to its suffocating suppression;
providence of strength to the mind
would let this load of loathsome
state go with effortless ease.

Grin with a cleansed new soul
to combat all these obstacles –
for your heart to blossom
with a beaming spirit within.
So not to live in distress
gathered in a life on its way,
lessons learnt rather to be
turned into a driving force for
the remaining course of the journey.

Give your life a new lease,
lessening all your pains
that shadow the sunshine,
that cloud your mind’s sky –
reign in your kingdom of wisdom;
the cluster of woes be there
as unyielding seeds of reality,
never to be groomed to doom
the divine flow of your life.
