Rise Again : Poem

 

Rise Again




Fire can burn away comfort,
but it cannot burn the mountain.

Snow can take a life,
yet preserve it for a thousand years.

Life is precious—
because it is the art of seeking possibilities everywhere.

Fire and snow,
both can become guardians of life.
Both can teach us endurance,
both can carry us forward.

Be a seeker of goodness.
Be a miner of greatness.
Be an artist of your own thoughts and destiny.
Be the master of the devil within.

Life may strike,
life may shatter,
but remember—
it only breaks the rock around us
so that our wings may break free.

Every storm, every wound
is nature’s way of waking the sleeping strength within.
Every hardship is nourishment
for the best in us, my friend.

Nature may appear harsh,
yet she is the master,
sharpening our vision,
guiding us toward true growth
by closing the doors that deceive.

Remember this—
the true path is always strong.
And opening the strong door
will always be harder
than slipping through the false ones.

But beyond that strong door—
is freedom.
Beyond it—
is your rise again.

- Akhil Mannaly
