consciousness

Lust and greed overwhelm our desires, 
We struggle in life, desires unfulfilled, 
Yet, the heart is searching for peace and serenity, 
Only consciousness will deliver it one day. 

Consciousness evokes the world around us, 
Selfless service and help to the needy inspire us, 
Donate with kindness, uplift the broken hearts, mission it takes, 
Love and respect for everyone are the goals kept in mind. 

With each breath, I feel life flow, 
Awake to all that fades and grows. 
The world hums low, a whispered sound, 
As earth and spirit spin unbound. 

No rush for future, past release, 
Just here—this pulse, this quiet peace. 
Each moment fresh, a seed to sow, 
In light of love, I watch it grow.

What a deep and philosophically rich poem this is! If only the human hearts could reminisce those little gestures of kindness, whenever they saw darkness prevailing in their or other's life, this world would have been a better place to live in. Gratitude and empathy surely build a heaven in a person's soul ~ i especially love those last two stanzas, the soothing essence there is so soulful and beautiful! That's how we should devour life, breath by breath, in every moment... Loved reading this!
