Victory may come after injury,
Worry not and feel damn sorry,
Hurry to toil which is necessary,
Bury doubts as loss is temporary !
M V Venkataraman
I'm sinking in this quicksand,
And Im slowly losing ground,
But the more I try to fight it,
The more it drags me down,
I'm standing on the water,
Trying not to look around,
Because if I lose my faith here,
I know that I will drown!
......
When the end comes
I will be terrified.
Terrified that maybe
I didn’t spend enough time in the sand
I didn’t gaze into nothing for long enough
I didn’t strive for more success
Terrified that maybe
I could’ve been more patient
......
I don't worry for the earth
when I throw things to the dirt
I think she'll be just fine
I mean, aren't I?
does she think about my worth
when I'm falling, when I'm hurt
after a life of getting it right
why fight?
I won't fear for all the world
I'm just a man, I'm just a girl
......
Ribald footprints
of a silent, brooding zitar
rendezvous with an ebbing tide
recalcitrant thoughts wash away
along this sandy shoal.

When you feel lost
In the endless
weight
of uncertainty
Turn to the trees
Listen to the birds
Spin in the sun
Run down a hill
Laugh until
