Poem Title:
Poem
Life is a mystery - We can’t track its history It may seem to start at birth and seem to end at death But what seems to be life’s end… is but a bend to transcend Body, mind and soul are what make life whole But then comes death and we lose our breath We mistake Happiness to be life’s goal Until we realize – No! We must liberate our Soul The saddest thing is we don’t know the meaning of Life We live and we die with sadness and strife We want this and that to be Happy and Glad But we end up being miserable, greedy and sad Life is a journey - Like a river, we must flow From God we came and to God we must go Life is a Drama - we desire and we crave But nothing will be ours when we go to the grave We foolishly think we are the body and mind Till we get the “Aha”, we are the soul we find We don’t know where we came from and don’t know where we will go The Goal of Life is to reach the other shore Most people don't live life; they just seem to exist The cravings of the body, they just can't resist They are so busy, no time to go on a quest To find out who we truly are, putting life to a test Of course, we are not the body - in the end, it will die Are we the mind and ego? No, at death, they will fly We are the Life Energy that departs at death... We are the life itself that gives us our breath We live in ignorance; the truth we don't find We forget that we are the soul, not the body and mind The God that we seek in a temple or a church Lives inside our own hearts - a place we don't search We are not this, not this....we are that! Not the body, not the mind, the soul, in fact The purpose of life is to realise this Goal - We are not the body and mind. We are the Soul!
