Courage

Courage lets itself felt in different ways.

It awakens when we stand up with an undaunted "Let us be..",
even while being strangled by the leash of conventions and beliefs.

It breathes with a graceful flow,
even if there are restrictions in our streams.

It continues to dance gracefully,
even in places where our song is forbidden to be sang.

It is the patient movement of the hands of a clock,
even if they strike a dark hour.

It is the smile that keeps on shining,
even if circumstance invites nothing but the darkness of a frown.

It is the laughter that never fails to heal,
even if the wound is in deep misery.
