The Essence of Life

Water splashed across the window Struck high the thunderstorm My fingers tapped the table While I sat in my dorm Watching the merciless rain Communing to me Taking me back to the aura of being Telling me the real meaning of life And as I sat dazed hearing it Tears came up stinging my eyes Seeing that unmatchable aspect Paying the price for what I had left Auspiciously I heard the howl As the winds whispered the soothing sound Comforting me thy still have time To undo the done before the tears mount Soaring up the rhythm fast The cadence of my heart beat count Raised high my head with determination Heaved eminently my soul and a smile swept across my face Enlivening me up from the gloomy haze As I felt the trust in God rising The power of belief reviving..... O God, I thank you for this supreme support Being always there when I need you the most May I now follow the path shown So that your blessings never let me lone Pursuing the bona fide essence of life The real reason for which I am alive
