Erecting a Castle
There's a journey to forge success, Challenging in nature For, patience it demands And fragility it bounds Would be exigent for sure, Fabricating through fracture, As a climb is straining, But a slip is just as water draining! Slower the hour hand, Ticking the second; Eternity to comprehend, A punctuation gap to misunderstand Marathon of a seed to tree, Sprint to forest fire; Nine months to free, And a blink to expire Tough to build, Easy to break, Wearing to bind, Facile to burst So what? Do we pretext with a 'but'? Nah.. heros don't do that They rise, they work, they get! We are tested We are mould We are invested And made gold! We grow, we fall, we stand With wisdom hand in hand; Midst waves, we assemble the sand And build our own castle fairyland! ~ Stuti Thacker
