There are times when the gold band
On my hand , seems light
And my heavy heart a monotonous comrade
There are times when solitude cages me
Amidst a crowd
And a cacophony welcomes serenity
Yes the paradox cannot be understated,
For all beings are ruled by whims
All decision
s a matter of chess move
A fluke or a major blunder
The last phase can only ponder
Yet the intricate similarities befuddle me
A chess game or a perceived notion
A pawn the weakest or the robust of all
Eight soldiers or eight queens
Just an opportunist
Who takes the lead!
