Never be afraid to do something new!

Never be afraid to do something new,

For life without change is monotonous,

Drab, dreary, an existence platitudinous;

Marking deep fissures of despair, upon lines

Of destinies as they squiggle through times.

When the wind casts upon the dust as due,

Twirling grains, soughing like a flute.

In creeping snakes or a lark’s cadence,

Lies ingenious design, mellifluous tones,

Crooning melody, and colourful refulgence.

Dark clouds looming on high, renders

Intense response, terror and fright;

Ominous thoughts impel Gothic Arts,

Even in black some things look right,

With feverish ardour impress our sight.

Look to the sky azure in all its might,

Feel the power of the growing light;

Find inspiration in the morning dew,

On a pluvial day, through the circling moon,

Never be afraid to do something new,

Trek beyond high walls of the Earth,

Find a mystery unique, people in dearth;

Waterfalls cascade white waters afresh,

Down through the rocks, into the abyss,

Grace prairies with infinite finesse.

As stars come high on a lonely night sky,

Witness the marvel of nature so bright;

Seem twinkling for the pleasure of our eye,

Aren’t heavenly orbs a fiery sight,

Patterns so profound that bring delight?

Perception sets our consciousness alight,

Revealing the insignificance of our lives.

We waste away in the sands of time,

In each grain of sand that falls, etched

are our dull, insipid lies.

Destiny works hard to comply,

With what’s written, that which shall pass;

And in this seemingly meaningless

Existence of ours, we urge upon thee anew:

Never be afraid to do something new!
