A POEM ON RESLIENCE
This poem addresses you directly, focusing on times when life feels like a dream- full of light, growth, and beauty. It likens your trip to the sun rising, trees growing, and waves roaring with energy. But then it reminds you of the unavoidable-the sunsets, the tree weakens, the waves calm down, and even the mountain can collapse.
It feels familiar since you’ve been through these cycles, haven’t you? The highs and lows, the times when you appear to falter. But the poem gives optimism, a reality you should hear: falling is not a failure; it is a natural part of existence. And as long as you refuse to give up, you will rise again, stronger and brighter than ever.
RISING AND FALLING
It was a dream,
Rising like the sun,
Growing like the tree.
Shining like the star,
Beauty like the flower.
Energy like the wave,
The vigor of the mountain.
But
The sun sleeps at night,
hides when the cloud is high.
The tree faces autumn,
Becomes weak and fragile.
The star glimmers,
Loses its shine
in the daytime.
The waves sleep sometime,
becomes quite
as it never roared.
The mountain faces slide,
Collapses into pieces.
It never occurred me...
Drowning was not a dream...
Actually, it's a law
And you will rise definitely again...
If you forbid to stop.
