The White Flag

Samer Amin

 

 

 

The voice of sadness can whisper swiftly, or yell loudly, or move your walls back and forth.

 

 

 

The voice of sadness can roar furiously and darken your sky by its nostrils' smoke.

 

 

 

The voice of sadness can throw boulders and fiery arrows at your strongholds' walls.

 

 

 

The voice of sadness can break all your hope's bridges, and in the heart of your dreams, can bring forth the fruits of despair and dismay.

 

 

 

The voice of sadness can belittle every earnest attempt, and all your devoted endeavors can be held in disdain.

 

 

 

The voice of sadness can divide your identity by towering walls, and let your true-self unable to identify itself anymore.

 

 

 

The voice of sadness can distort any well-established reality, and any futile falsehood can be glorified more and more.

 

 

 

The voice of sadness always challenges you to a face-to-face battle,

 

 

 

 but before the confrontation with the brave ones, the voice of sadness usually runs away. 

 

 

 

Whereas the hopeless ones, usually raise the White Flag, even before getting invited to the challenge.

    The voice of sadness can be changed as life moves forward into the light.

      That's right Andy!

      The voice of sadness can turn drastically into a voice of joy and happiness during our spiritual journey form darkness towards light.
