Between Despair and Faith

[Prashant Shaurya]

I dream of beauty in my dreams
I wish they come to life
I dream of piety in my life
I wish it dazzles bright.

I see no friends, I see no foes
Everyone’s a passer by
Like passengers on board a train
Come closer for a while.

So oft I pray for things I need
More often out of greed
Stifled between despair and faith
Can’t judge which road to tread.

A dilemma my friend, faith is for your spiritual well being and if you are true to yourself you need not to despair; and if you have all that you need to live comfortably then why ask for more...many have less.
I poem that really made me think Prashant, and the i am sure faith is the road to happiness..

Much food for thought in this honest write Prashant - - as we grow spiritually every day our faith in the future seems brighter and you capture this my friend in your piece on Despair and Faith. Thank you for sharing.

Very thought provoking. I really like the second stanza.

An interesting analysis of your dream . Dreams are often at two ends of
the spectrum. For instance, nightmares or visions utter delight. I'd
ignore both roads at night, and make your decision in the cool light
of day. Enjoyed.

A need felt, yet is it more a want than a need, I wonder? There is a feel of indecision that you convey so well in this marvelous write, Prashant...like we are off kilter a little and are trying to find our balance, my friend. A great write that I truly enjoyed reading and thinking on.
