Defeat
Defeat seems a jolt to smooth
motion of life,
A confrontation with destiny,
An insult to the spirit.
Worldly life is a long series
of defeats,
(Where, at times, survival alone
seems to be the biggest victory),
But man rises after each knockdown
to attend to the next duty,
And this goes on till the final
fall.
Defeat is not the opposite of
victory, but a state far perverse,
Man does not die once but many
times in a lifetime,
Life is a series of islands
in an abyss,
A much expectant walk through
a minefield.
In life no defeat or victory
is final,
Worldly defeat or success is
not a measurement of the spirit,
Which is seeking unison with
universe,
A harmony of the elements,
A celebration of nature.
