Anindya Mohan Tagore Poet Rhyme

Holistic Happiness

Hurdles hold the happiness - holistically enshrined
People come to pray and tend to bow,
We all search for it - everywhere, though hardly find
Searches find blind alleys; because we don't know

Some may perceive it as preconditioned;
Some may search it in the way illusioned,
Disillusioned souls find fragments in hand - 
Destiny brings them to a nowhere land

Is there any heaven, where happy - all beings?
Is there any hell, where there is no good thing?
We don't have to summit somewhere to become happy
Obsessions... that we have to leave and don't be sappy

Have you seen butterflies, crying for things - any?
Have you seen lions, gathering the kills - many?
Learn to live like a beast, without any desire
Nothing in hand you came here, destined to the fire

Ask any parting soul, how beautiful was life?
Smiles... as they last express, would dissolve all your strife'
Moments, my friend, moments we live - happy or sad
Gather all these little moments; soul is nomad

Feeling as part of the whole and seeing the whole within
Is the only way to be happy; it is the linchpin
Moments, my friend, moments we all - born or die
Moments... which we can't ignore nor can defy
