Triumph

In response to the Writer's Island prompt on April 17 2008.

Waiting all these years
For this moment to realize

Eyes glistened with tears of triumph
Thinking that the battle has been finally won

There is peace in heart
And tranquility prevails for most part

The moment leaves sooner that it arrives
When the reality descends and makes the life

The mind is in a flux again
Trying to figure out which is more difficult

Living a life without purpose
Or knowing the purpose and surviving the life without it

Beautiful words- "Living the life without a purpose or knowing the purpose and surviving life without it". It's really a tough one.

I guess whatever we do, we always have to let go of something. Even when living life with a purpose. Because truly speaking we cannot have only one purpose in life. And the choices in life are always tough.

It is basically about choosing which struggle you want in your life. That is the only choice life gives us.
