Begin
Have you a secret ambition?
Given a choice to begin life anew
Tell me, what wouldst thou do?
Throw off the shackles of habit
Time in your hands, mould as you will
Tap the source, the infinite, that lies still
Life, surely, holds many a surprise
But the magic moment is in the key
To treasure caves of opportunity
No goal is ever attained in a day
Stop not to think, but Begin!
Hark! Inner whispers blowing through the wind
And should dreams be shattered, Begin, Begin again!
For with pliable hands and eyes more true
An understanding heart will see thee through
This day be more conscious of thy urge
To break from the dark prison
And hear the cry that heralds: Â son of Man hath risen!

very inspiring poem....thanks for sharing..:)
Thanks vijit
Greetings Madhuparna,
Very well delivered and inspiring indeed,in order to conquer and bring end to your obtainable goal, you must begin its endeavor.We must fail in many cases in order to ultimately succeed in our mission and it is what we do after we fall, is what makes us who we are inspired to be today....Powerful poem and a pleasure to read.....
With Kind regards,
Jimmy
Thanks so much for ur appreciation of the poem Jimmy....Very glad that u liked reading it....
God Bless!
Spoken truly from the heart of the poet.....and as if a lesson well learned, by one who have experienced some of its monumental metamorphosis, to their present state of being, or even their expectant destiny to be....again pretty poem and waiting to view the next...

Nice poem here Madhuparna. But I wonder if wouldst and thou are really necessary. No one uses them in poems nowadays. 'Tell me what would you do?' would have made the same effect for me. Anyways its your call. Keep going. Loved this one. Waiting for more. God bless.
Regards,
Anand
Thanks for the appreciation Anand... actually, I used "wouldst" and "thou" et al. purposefully to lend an old world charm to the poem.....My other poems are quite devoid of the antiquated language.... yeah will post more in the coming days....Thanks again for ur appreciation.... God Bless.
Hello dear.
This poem is an inspiration for every one to do some thing, for me I didn't write anything for some days.
just decided to 'begin' well done.
what's the need of the repeats or double 'saving' ?
Hello sayed,
Thanks for ur appreciation...
The double saving was a mistake... i tried to copy the poem from my saved word document and then paste it.... but as there is no preview button for previewing the draft..... i saved it and now its showing as a repeat of the original ... :)
