she saw opportunity
when others saw nothing
for her the impossible
didn't exist
she took the risks
she survived the falls
an epitome of verve
encapsulated it all
till...
an extended phase of darkness
engulfed her for so long
she was distraught
she was torn
embracing solitude
she withdrew her wings
stoned into numbness
standing still
till...
one fine night
when she was communing
she realized that not all was over
that there was something inside her
that held her fragile self
from disintegrating altogether
she decided to give-in her all
one more time
she wanted to face life
with tough resolve
one last time
as if on cue
her spirit soared
she felt hopeful once more
softly, she whispered
Oh! Universe, please conspire
help me tide this over...
