Destiny

Waking, like birds, walking, running, rushing, pushing,
Working, like horse or donkey; earning day's living;
Colleagues, friends, even foes; a little bit of name,
If I move stones unmoved, I might get some scant fame;
Where will wheels of existence move beyond this rut?
What's the meaning, purpose, goal - beyond this shut-hut?

Chalices of trifles of troubles, turmoil, loses,
Physical psychic head-heart stress that imposes;
Conflicts, disputes, cock-hen like, dog-barks-like disputes,
Mindless grins, scrupulous remarks which have no roots;
Those smiles; guileless laughs; malice-less naughty nix-moves,
Intertwined like thread of nucleus, same truth proves...!

Anxieties, hurts and pains, like broken wings, flap,
These, like dragnets or hunters-holes do our strength trap; 
Choosing spiritual paths that boldly hold God, 
Senses, inner mind, and third vision in concord;  
Rivulet of Ganges, that in subtle routes flows,
Should reach the sea of endless ages, with entire glow...!

Through the pains, tests and the gloom inflicted on life by others and oneself, we have to flow as a stream and finally merge in the ocean of eternity.... That's our purpose in life. Great thoughts Chris !
