Hope Of Liberation

By ALIASGAR MANSUR KHAMBATI

The human mind is a marvel - a jungle of sorts,

Alike the intertwining undergrowth are our thoughts.

It takes a fervent effort to navigate the mind amidst the forest,

Keeping our equilibrium intact is the way forward, surest!

There comes a time when a ray of hope is wanted,

The darkness that envelopes the mind is surely un-wanted.

The thinnest of bunch of trees are capable to turn day into a night,

One struggles to locate that one spot which is illuminating and bright.

Challenges are countless and in diverse forms they occur in a mind,

Some encounter dread and panic, some struggle with disorders of many a kind.

When doubt and fear seem your only companions in the wilderness,

The heart craves for a holding hand fortified with understanding and kindness!

The hand holders come in many forms and are called by many a name:

Family, a friend, a counsellor, or a therapist - are all involved in this game!

The rescue team we look forward to in all eagerness and optimism,

The confidant we seek, God bless them – to rise above all skepticism!
