Volition
by Chadi Tannous
Like a cascade flowing without looking behind
With no choice of a path
Like a turbulent waterfall gushing
With no alternative but to inundate
Life is streaming along the trail
Of inevitability
The track is already marked
Nothing can be changed
Any attempt is futile
Any other choice is nothing but the fruit of imagination
…And hope
Destiny carved the passage of our time
Destiny is the beginning and the end
Life!
I urge you for another alternative
Lead me to another course
My heart can't bear this cross
Bejeweled with blood and pain
My soul is surrendering its breath
Inhaling despair and exhaling hope
My path is flowered with darkness
Give me your strength of patience
…And courage...
Thank you rain for quenching my thirst
For accompanying my symphony
Thank you zephyr for numbing my solitude
For keeping my hope alive
Thank you fire for burning my sorrow
For igniting my passion again
Thank you life for being docile
For listening to my prayers
Euphoria and Jubilation
My new destination
…Luscious capitulation is my new volition
