Sashi Prabhu Poet Rhyme

My Third Eye

My third eye keeps opening and it’s a great feeling to be alive,
I know now that I have survived through bad times and now it’s time to thrive.

I know that I am a lover, because I have been a fighter,
I know I am a poet, because I had been an essay writer.

I know I am strong, because I had been weak,
I know I am handsome, because I have girlfriends who are clique.

I know now that I am an optimist, because I have suffered the pangs of a pessimist,
I know now am a mercenary for truth, because I have known the pains of an extremist.

I know I am wise because I had been foolish,
I know now I am a saver, because I had been lavish.

I know now that I can live a life of joy, because I have been remorse,
I know now that I can be married, because I know what is a divorce.

I know now I can be good, because I have felt badness,
I know now I can laugh, because I have known sadness.

I know now I can be creative, because I have been destructive,
I know now I can be open, because I have been obstructive.

I know now I am sober, because I have been a drunk,
I know now I can perpetuate, because I have been a debunk.

I know now that I can live in anticipation, because I have lived a life filled with surprises,
I know now that I wear my own attitude, because I know what it is to live in guises.

My third eye keeps opening and it’s a great feeling to be alive,
I know now that I have survived through bad times and now it’s time to thrive.

I know now…..
I know now……

Don Munro January 29, 2012 at 8:46 AM I really enjoyed reading this. Every once in a while when I meditate, I feel my third eye opening and closing -- so I can relate. I like how you used the third eye concept as a metaphor for being open to life's experiences. Best & keep writing good stuff. Sashi Prabhu January 30, 2012 at 8:01 AM thanks a million for your encouraging words.
