Ballad of an Old Soul!

 Shree Ganeshay Namah! 

I wrote this poem with inspiration or words from within... Lately, the time has been a bit strenuous and every day is a new revelation. Hope this makes sense or resonates with you... And yes, I am choosing a Gandalf Pic! No one is a better old soul than Gandalf the Grey! 

                       

Ballad of an Old Soul!

Do not keep looking back,

nor carry that memory sack

Else it gets harder to walk,

as your past sneak and stalk

When your eyes gaze straight,

you are molding a vital trait

the future is in thoughts vanguard,

now is the time! to toil very hard

Ready your crew, choose wisely!

think through and plan precisely

Synergy of the vision is paramount,

For history to scribe glorious account

When your boots are on the ground,

there will be folks who will frown 

navigate and keep marching ahead,

while fear of criticism you shed 

Preserve your identity and beliefs,

As you emerge from the oceanic reefs

lead as the light guides a soul free,

amidst the storm, as a mighty oak tree

Be grateful for every joy and woe,

as slowly towards the end, you go

being a free soul and not confined,

shedding worry of what's left behind
