The Ship of Inspirational Change

The tunes of harmony played on in the skies While we humans, torn and worn By the shadows which keep pricking our souls Refuse to open our ears to melt upon their beats! The tunes were left unheard At least, until we all saw, Coming from the seas, The Ship of Inspirational Change! Sparkling and glittering with the reflection Of the bluish skies, It promised a haven to those who would Be deemed worthy of its purity! And only those bearing upon their hearts, The ability to be satisfied with their dues As they have been written for them By those powers so subtle and so powerful That the limits of their vision would not Allow them to perceive of its grandeur Would be called onboard Upon a journey of mystical discovery Which involves not the whims of Ego, Of Jealousy, of Hatred, of Anger, of Lust and Sin, Of the ailments of the physical body And even those of Self Pity! Wanting to escape from this prison With invisible doors and locks, We all turned inwards, eyes closed, Breathing in the air droplets of the new dawn As it lays there for us And prayed to whoever would want to hear us That we seek to be of good use to this Earth While we would be living upon her soils And that we would put our hands into her service As benevolently as we would be able to, For, if we would care to wait for a price tag, Then, we would be headed towards a dead end! And we thus opened our eyes, With a smile twinkling in their depths, And held out our hands in an ecstatic embrace To all brothers and sisters Promising them that we shall care for their well being For as long as we would be able to For the ship of inspirational change would be waiting for us And Would call out our names, At the right time!
