The Magnificence of the Cosmos
Stars twinkle in the night sky
While sending their invisible rays to my soul
Pray, imbibed with these
My whole ethos bids me to let go of my whole self
And to concentrate on the mystery that I am!
Made of water and blood
My body, seemingly, tries to understand about itself
Like me, millions of others, explore and unearth
Trying to answer the same questions
That gnaw them!
Pray, what is it that gives us life
Being made of flesh and skin is not enough
Is it star dust then, I do wonder
Is it the sparkles of these
Is it that somehow, at the time of physical death
We do fly back home and connect to our roots?
My whole self is a mirage, a reality which is not real
A puppet immersed in the kaleidoscopic scenes
Played on its mind by the one who creates stars!
And tonight, watching the stars twinkle so serenely
And majestically, while the Earth slowly revolves upon itself
I can only submit to whatever I am made of
I can only love it
And accept to follow its drive
Stars, exist for a reason known not to humans
And I, like millions of others, swivel in this existence
As tiny ants, or as tiny grains of sand
Why, rather than loading my head with turmoils
Best is it to carry my cross dutifully
And to load my wings with purity
So as to spread this essence of submission to life
Taken from the magnificence of the cosmos
To the whole world
While hoping such shall cure its many ails!
