Hidden Princess



Throw down your hair o fair maiden that I may have a glimpse of that face which has me thinking long and hard
O that your person is all I have imagined it to be.
Not docile or submisive but willing to take a challenge and throw the first punch, disregarding society's take on gender.
I had seen you from far off, as I took the road the journey led me through.
Already the harvest of the treacherous journey has already been revealed if you are a part of it.
Or except I am mistaken and have missed a turn, thus meaning you were one of the many temptations I had heard of
If so I have succumbed to the temptation and will loose all the lead I had gained before
Should I go back to the road and continue my journey or stay a little while in your presence. Disregarding all the consequences that there will be.
Or are you just an apparition that would tease and arouse giving me nothing but longing for what may be thereby leading me to a merry go round.
Whatever the case may be, I shall still stand at the bottom of the tower calling for you let me up. A few times will I try to climb up on my own when your silence remains but an answer to my calls. Many more times will I fall, from the dumb attempts I make to climb up to you, the scars and fractures that I shall gain will become heedless to count but all the same I shall stay at the bottom of the tower pleading and waiting, even if nothing remains of my voice I shall stay and continue to croak.
Choose to ignore or answer me but someway, somehow I will get on that tower and claim you. Not for my self alone but for all adventurers who choose to venture into the unknown.

 A tribute to Wisdom, Well-being and Wealth the three entities that I personify as one

The prayer of a young chap



Father, thank you because I understand a bit more last week, than I understood the week before.
I understand now that it took me 20 years to get my degree, something I considered and felt was your will for me.
Now I understand that you never mentioned that I would rise to the top straight after the degree.
I know now that the steps to greatness are a process in time, and when that time comes I would fly like eagle.
Until then I must go through the necessary processes and not expect that a few strides of my long legs would get me to where I want to be.
I understand now that I may stumble a bit along the way, but I should keep my head focused.
I may not get all that I want when I expect it but to carry my jotter along the way and write down the lessons I will learn from the journey ahead
I know that neither my creativity, my shrill voice, or my intelligence is enough to take me where I want to go. But absolute faith combined with all that you have given will get me there.
And I must strive to build all of them to get tougher and better at what I do, in order to adequately face the challenges ahead.
Like a great man once said
"God, harden me against myself,
The Coward with pathetic voice
Who craves for ease and rest and joy.
Myself, arch-traitor to myself,
My hollowest friend,
My deadliest foe,
My clog, whatever road I take".
