The Ship of Inspirational Change
The tunes of harmony played on in the skies
While we humans, torn and worn
By the shadows which keep pricking our souls
Refuse to open our ears to melt upon their beats!
The tunes were left unheard
At least, until we all saw,
Coming from the seas,
The Ship of Inspirational Change!
Sparkling and glittering with the reflection
Of the bluish skies,
It promised a haven to those who would
Be deemed worthy of its purity!
And only those bearing upon their hearts,
The ability to be satisfied with their dues
As they have been written for them
By those powers so subtle and so powerful
That the limits of their vision would not
Allow them to perceive of its grandeur
Would be called onboard
Upon a journey of mystical discovery
Which involves not the whims of Ego,
Of Jealousy, of Hatred, of Anger, of Lust and Sin,
Of the ailments of the physical body
And even those of Self Pity!
Wanting to escape from this prison
With invisible doors and locks,
We all turned inwards, eyes closed,
Breathing in the air droplets of the new dawn
As it lays there for us
And prayed to whoever would want to hear us
That we seek to be of good use to this Earth
While we would be living upon her soils
And that we would put our hands into her service
As benevolently as we would be able to,
For, if we would care to wait for a price tag,
Then, we would be headed towards a dead end!
And we thus opened our eyes,
With a smile twinkling in their depths,
And held out our hands in an ecstatic embrace
To all brothers and sisters
Promising them that we shall care for their well being
For as long as we would be able to
For the ship of inspirational change would be waiting for us
And
Would call out our names,
At the right time!
