A poem I penned for my B. Arch classmate Vani Vasudev
It
is said that “Spiritual eyesight improves as physical eyesight declines!”
Extending
this just for you….
“Even
when sights of all kind make us blind,
Foresight,
hindsight….et al decline,
We
need not despair, for,
In
you, we have a friend,
Who
can help us lean against spiritual incline,
Meandering
our way from the ‘Monkey Mind’,
Braving
us back to the “Human Kind”!
Sailing
through the ebb and flow,
Of
the Strait of Life,
While
our moods are high or low,
“Low
or high, need not sigh”, you say so.
Lifting
us up, when we drown,
Levelling
us down, when on high,
Never
leaving any high and dry!
Any
of life’s troubles that we may bemoan
Mammoth
to us, they may appear
Trivial
they may be, yet we fear.
But,
as you say,
“The
Big Picture” when we see
Those
trivia, the hitherto big blocks
Verily
melt down to tiny specks
And
soon they disappear!
Ever
ready to share your pearls of wisdom
To
let one’s mind stand erect,
Short
and sweet sermon from ‘Thou The Prefect’
”Through
the Looking Glass, may we see,
“A single human, do we find perfect?
This
common fact of life may we reflect,
Errors
of the world, one need not mirror
Our
strifes, several they may be,
Try
we must, to set them straight,
On
good deeds, may we concentrate”
Making
one realize, at tides of time,
Best
is to live down to earth,
Just
so, we find peace in our hearth,
Live
life to its full, to our heart’s content
Well,
isn’t that our basic intent?
