Count Down

[KALPANA BHATT ('रौनक़')]

Count down


Count Down
Let the count down
begin
one by one
black birds
fly in
Open air .

The clouds
withering
white as snow
seen floating
above .

Let the thoughts
fly in wind
See dreams
As an aim
let it be caught
and be hold tight
in our fists.

Let the luck lines
in our palms
be activated with
true efforts and
dedication.

Remember
The backward count down
leads to a dungeon .
A place filled with
darkness .

Search a minute
hole in any creek
of dark and hard
walls .

Let a light of hope
be welcomed
warmly
and the once started
backward counting
be reversed.

Let a pace be kept
ahead
to climb stairs
though slowly
Looking at the
light outside
waiting .

Let it be
kept it mind
The Real Count Down
is done by The Almighty .

Once again a nicely written, encouraging, motivating and guiding verse from you! Congratulations Respected Kalpana Bhutt ji! Yes, we should stick to our goals and hold or dreams tight in our fists and believe in the "Count Down" of the Almighty God.
