Soul

 

Such a simple sweet word, but without it our coming
to the earth is meaningless, life is worthless,
the body is only the covering around this,
Our real existence, is not the outer brilliant petals
They are just the shells covering these pearls.
 
Keep this pearl white, that’s how it was given to you
and when you will leave the shell behind,
your worth will be judged by the pearl.
The beautiful petals will wither with time, and
the day you will leave for final destination, soul
will be the only thing picked up from within you.
 
If you think its too tough to keep it white
In this world full of temptation, greed and spite
Think of the oysters who keep it glowing white
Facing the torture of splashing waves, depth fathomless,
darkness and harsh sand yet they keep unscathed the pearls

 

About mydomainpvt

 

 

Who am I? just a child of God like you
Your very own, I too worship the same God
Only in some other form, and just like you
I too pray for food, shelter and clothe for all.

What do I love? In this beautiful world?
Let me think, the smile on a baby’s face
Flowers, gardens, sky, clouds and butterflies
Music, love, friends, any thing with beauty.

My religion? To love every harmless soul
Feel compassion for every living being
Never play God even when I am wronged
Never to hit back unless pushed in corner.

What do I hope? A permanent place in your heart
An entire life of friendship with you
We will fly together forever, in the blue skies
Full of love, peace and harmony everlasting

 

 

A lotus of light is slowly opening its petals
A divine fragrance is enveloping my being
As if my whole existence is slowly changing
Transforming itself to wait for your touch.

Don’t make me wait any longer
Just come down place your feet
In this lotus waiting for you
Touch it and make it divine

    yes ed,

    i always try to find my inspiration from nature, they are so kind and giving without expecting any thing in back. thanks for pointing out the biggest point, yes, i never even gave the thought to the point that the oyster turns an irritant into a jewel. thats some thing, is not it?

    thanks again,

    God bless you,
