Blink of An Eye

Blink of an eye, Buddha – Achieved a state of perfect enlightenment But this success carried, Years of persistent determination To look beyond the failures. Blink of an eye, Sprinter – Upshots a sensational Victory But this winning carried, Months of sustained spiritedness To look beyond the loneliness. Blink of an eye, Carnivorous plant – Digests the insects with complete gratification But this consummation carried, Days of longanimity and diligence To look beyond the mundaneness. Blink of an eye, Bird of Jove – Hunts its prey with absolute precision But this attainment carried, Hours of penetrating observance To look beyond the distractions.
