"Alertness defines awareness to the surrounding yet developing a sense of detachment reminding oneself  of playing a role of  custodian rather than being participant" This comment about my poem from one of my friends, explains it well.

 

when your mind is in such a state, when you can laugh denouncing fate, nonchalantly in air coin toss, to take your wins with your bad loss, when day and night are equal phase, life can tempt with no further race, when you see the transience of life, like a fluttering butterfly, emotions that you invested, look a dry farmland, rain divested, you see truth of the self emerge, with in eternal wisdom surge, Then you have reached the pinnacle, life no longer a debacle, a peaceful calm rests on your face, your eyes shine sublime light of grace, you are no more than anything, nothing exists no more than you! no longer a body with name, eternity and you are same! you have bridged the wide gap between all life and death that lay unseen! you can walk on fire, in rain, happy and smiling without pain! 2nd placement Written 28/10/2020 Ambedo poetry contest Sponsor Silent One
