'i' Remain 'I' - Irreplaceable
'I' remain 'I' - irreplaceable!
Search for 'the one irreplaceable' begins - 'O' my friend,
with me, as, I'm the only one to infer from signs portend!
Most potent of all searches I found, and the most fecund,
'promises' by Forefathers for eternity, on which I depend!
One's 'Satiation', a yardstick for me in this sprawled barn;
setting out looking for, in its widespread colourful lawn!
Every field I sought - a physical evaluation comparing it;
one to one - measuring, intellect, prowess, money or grit!
On going process, working for or against one or the other,
in no time, these our acts - start to suffocate and smother!
Seizing up with a competitive spirit, is the garb often said;
in reality, it's sizing one's ego, which, we ever should dread!
Always on the look-out for the next one in, to out-perform,
in doing so, anxious - we just lose all our poise and calm!
When and where does this meet an end or a way to mend?
failed in contentment, we ever fail at the 'dead road's end'!
Fleeting moment, 'Oh' my friend - you are thy own master;
spare a few moments for thy own self in your daily roster!
'Mind' - a wanderer, props-up something that's always new;
it goes back and forth on its memories that are quite a few!
Materialistic lure here and elsewhere - never forever satiate;
we land in a quagmire, doing or saying things to ingratiate!
Realise, everything around us, is in a continuous state of flux,
the 'ever constant' factor in this search, the key and the crux!
Journey to make is within, to home-in, on the unchangeable,
that is how to reach the 'I' - the One and Only 'irreplaceable'!
