Screen of Awareness- POTD

Born into this earth one day quite unaware, We grow with time and eventually age. Pass through stages many and varied, And in activities manifold, we busily engage. We do not know what tomorrow unveils, Or where the road we tread may lead. But within us is a realm that will never change. It is something that to vagaries, never shall yield. Beneath all fluctuations, it stays static. It is the light of consciousness that in us shines, That has been slowly built in us through our breeding. Through values garnered and what God in us aligns. This screen of awareness is something so palpable, But can never be seen yet stays securely intact. It is the consciousness that God has planted in us. Defeating all deceptions, it helps us choose the right act. When we experience pain and heaviness of heart On the screen of awareness may appear a shining star It will sure pilot us through the dank and dark corridors of life. Help us stay firm in fluidity, showing who we truly are. Beliefs and concepts may evolve and change with time, But as long as we are insulated within the protective screen Of awareness, it will distinguish the genuine from the sham, And our life will glitter in all radiance and heavenly sheen!

Yes, I am aware. Technically, as per unwritten protocol I should therefore not have commented on this poem but that’s a farce, isn’t it? It’s out in the open, as POTD. Of course, having said that, each poem stands in its own merit, as perceived by the sponsor of the contest ~ let’s see how this one fares vs other entries!

Wow! Valsa, This is a well written piece on one's " consciousness." I agree, our "God" given consciousness will remain the same and follow us throughout our lives. However, we might may not always listen to it. You expressed your thoughts on it very well. Well done. Its looks like a winner to me. Best wishes in the contest-Alexis
