Ethereal Lanterns
How I wish to renew and set my life in order.
In this season, I wish to make life’s dimensions broader
I am eager to cast my past behind and embrace a new way.
In whatever I do, let my conscience have the final say.
As I grow in age, I have learned more than ever,
That things I once deemed precious are no more dear.
What I hoarded in a lifetime does not provide
The happiness I sought or made me feel secure inside.
How much I reached out to others when needed,
Is the criterion of how I have succeeded,
How sincerely I dedicate my soul and heart,
To alleviate another’s suffering is what sets me apart.
If I can go the extra mile to show that I care,
That is more important than all my prayer.
Our mind and heart should seek the inner light,
So that our spirits with a new glow shall ignite
I want all my grievances to vanish with the dark of night,
And the grace to greet the advent of a new dawn with delight.
Let the gentle whispers of the season lead us to realize,
The beauty and depth inherent in life’s unseen ties.
Like ethereal lamps, let our lives send out light,
Illuminating dark spaces and making the world bright.
Within each of us lies potentials manifold,
A rainbow of celestial hues waiting to unfold.
