“Brighter Side brought to Light”

 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?
