I gave my 100%
I was very positive
Hopes in heart high
Trust complete
No stone left unturned
Some progress did give hopes
Enthusiasm reinforced
Prayers often
But soon it appeared to follow the old pattern
One step forward, two backward
No light seen at the end of the tunnel
Doubts surface
Heart tender yet not ready to give up
Eyes turn to picture of Krishna
On wall in front of me
“You have
right only to your efforts not the result”
Comes to mind His message in Gita
Through tears filling eyes

Deep and poignant. An excellent write.
The words: “You have right only to your efforts not the result,” really sums-up the meaning of this poem nicely.
Yes, how true this can be at times. Beautifully expressed.

It is difficult not to cling to the result!

hi Harashad, i can relate to this
perceptive poem.
All we can do is our best, and we should never give up hope!
What a deep and emotional poem. One can only pray that the efforts will pay off someday. Beautifully written!
Intense! And the message of lord Krishna... Very true.. Karma!
Behind that elusive mask!
A very nice poem, Harshad. It reminded me of my 'advanced calculus' class (my next after 'differential equations).
That was my last math class and I had to drop it because it was too hard for me to find the concepts hidden in 'only' eight axioms.
Thank you for visit and your nice comment. I am late because I have been out of pocket (elusive).
..
your poem is a saga of the human spirit. thank you for your visit and warm invitation to enjoy your writer's heart.
Lovely poem. The ultimate spirit of defeat is heartbreaking. The line “You have right only to your efforts not the result,” can be so hard to swallow sometimes. Oh, how I wish I could control the results.
