Inspiring....

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening


Whose woods are these are i think i know,
His house is in the village,though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and drowny flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But i have a promise to keep,
And miles to go before i sleep,
And miles to go before i sleep.

ROBERT FROST

It is one of the most inspiring poems of all times.Its quite nostalgic as it brings the wonderful memory of my childhood............................ Though on the surface the poem is quite simple, but it contain deep meaning esp the last line
"And miles to go before i sleep,
And miles to go before i sleep...."

It always give me inspiration that their is lot to do before i take my last sleep, my brand Karma Kocktail need to touch greater heights.The intencity should be grave and deep. As the poet suggests, all the wordly pleasure are temporory but still we rejoice our soul form these wordly pleasure.
God, give me strength to build and fulfill my dreams...
