The Pole Star Shone

Following the pole star, I got on my way,

Fueled with an endless zeal I combated every hurdle right away.

None to accompany not one to share,

I bore in my heart that what I could never vent.

Neither the troubles of the world scared me,

Nor a single stone blocked my path.

While attaining that what I always desired,

Astounded I felt setting every benchmark.

Soon the loneliness engulfed all the delight,

The smiles were faded and no star shone..

Doomed in darkness all around,

I hardly could figure out the happiness I so flaunted about.

Nearing the end of this dreadful path,

I happen to realize that stars are made forever to shine.

Curbing the devil of defeat within,

Heading towards my goal I kept telling myself-

‘Not a single greatman looked back to see,

Who all followed and who all retrieved.’

A transformation happened somewhere deep within,

I had learnt to smile in a lonesome atmosphere.

A speck would not make me worried,

Nor a single deed would bring me peace.

Yes, my peace was mine,

And I had learnt to encapsulate it.

Felicity filled my life,

And thus forever ‘THE POLE STAR SHONE!’
