Notes About The Poem
written 20/04/2024
10 to 12 syllables with aabb rhyme sequence
To which Image should we cling
mirror tells lies when it looks back at you,
image shown is which you already knew,
does not show your thoughts, wisdom, or feelings,
image not truth, however appealing.
the body you inhabit is your dorm,
your name is tag for the physical form,
the self is seeker searching for answers,
search tool is intellect with such powers.
your journey is not of the mind alone,
body ages, dies has no sins to atone,
sins are of active mind that deal with trials,
that deal with challenges and times betrayals!
the true journey is one deep within you,
a passive observer with clear view,
one not affected by any events,
it questions nothing, it makes no comments.
passive observer lives in each of us,
that is part of supreme divine pureness,
dwell in that passive mind to free the self,
past lives are mirages of memory shelf.
it was born the moment of our first cry,
stays with us till the far end when we die,
untainted, untarnished, piece of divine soul,
to merge with eternity, final goal.
your images of past are not images of you,
to such false identities bid adieu,
memories, relations are of physical,
eternal our presence, body ephemeral.
