“You are rising too fast

You are aiming too high…

Courage is foolish –

Brave people die!”

.

‘Where are you growing to?’

‘Why such a rush? They’ll implore

‘It’s just your pride…’ They will add…

‘We don’t believe you should take the floor!’

.

Yes, one should challenge oneself

And one must question their thoughts…

Not to succumb to misleading voices

or misdirection of untamable wants…

.

Where are we growing to?

Are we growing at all?

Are we rising to greatness?

Or preparing to fall?

.

Reaching out to heavens,

Or in the other direction?

Are our minds filled with ego?

Or with divine perception?

.

If you’re growing the right way

There is no need to explain…

Critics won’t go away

They will forever remain…

.

So, keep on growing to where

You were created to grow…

Don’t let the skeptics define you

Enticing your mind to stay small

.

So… what about you?

Where are you growing to?

.

Our days are numbered you see

We have limited minutes and hours

After the danger of spring frost is past –

Have courage to bloom… like Sunflowers!
