Simple yet so beautiful. Such a memorable song from the movie Once. My personal favourite.
          
          Falling Slowly
          
          I don't know you
          But I want you
          All the more for that
          
          Words fall through me
          And always fool me
          And I can't react
          
          And games that never amount
          To more than they're meant
          Will play themselves out
          
          [Chorus:]
          Take this sinking boat and point it home
          We've still got time
          Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
          You'll make it now
          
          Falling slowly, eyes that know me
          And I can't go back
          
          Moods that take me and erase me
          And I'm painted black
          
          You have suffered enough
          And warred with yourself
          It's time that you won
          
          [Chorus:]
          Take this sinking boat and point it home
          We've still got time
          Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
          You've made it now
          
          Falling slowly sing your melody
          I'll sing it loud

Take a bow Mr William Ernest Henley. This continues to inspire all the aspiring poets. Thank you Amrita for making me read this one, again.
          
          Out of the night that covers me, 
          Black as the pit from pole to pole, 
          I thank whatever gods may be 
          For my unconquerable soul. 
          
          In the fell clutch of circumstance 
          I have not winced nor cried aloud. 
          Under the bludgeonings of chance 
          My head is bloody, but unbowed. 
          
          Beyond this place of wrath and tears 
          Looms but the Horror of the shade, 
          And yet the menace of the years 
          Finds and shall find me unafraid. 
          
          It matters not how strait the gate, 
          How charged with punishments the scroll, 
          I am the master of my fate, 
          I am the captain of my soul.

@kirtikumarpoojary it is certainly a stirring read.  However I believe there are far too many forces at work in the world for anyone to truly be "Captain of their Soul"!  Perhaps I read it wrong. We certainly do have a say over how we respond to circumstances. But to be captain of our souls?  My experience is that I have entrusted my soul into the hands of He who has far more power and intelligence than any mere human and have found my soul to be safer there than in my poor weak trembling hands.

Poets are everywhere around! Poetry is everywhere.But there is no better poetry than the burning of one's soul!
