Light That Lights All Lights
Life is but a dream
As what we perceive and experience
Are all ephemeral and temporary
A favourable occurrence or an unpleasant one
Are all but fleeting truths
That play upon the screen of life
Impermanence is their trait
So never be affected by it all
Hard times teach us a deeper sense of self and purpose
Strengthens our resilience in times of adversity
Provides a greater appreciation of life and loved ones
An increased capacity for altruism and empathy
Introspect in staid stillness
Meditation is the key to profound insight
For the realisation of the eternal light
Comes in a state of calmness in the mind
To achieve greater clarity and peace of mind
In a spiritual and intellectual awakening
Where we don’t seek shadows but the true source of light
Amidst the chaotic and transient nature of life
Live in the present neither the future nor the past
As sand moves continuously through the hourglass
And the alarm clock is ringing
Ding a ling a ling!
