Who Am I

Fewer are the chances of any disturbance, 
no matter how bigger is the turbulence. 
How calm and cool the days are rolled 
where mind flys with wings controlled!
Goodness is spent with no purpose to earn
and no expectations are born for its return. 
Anger and foolish desires are the things of the past, 
every moment of life is lived as meant for the last.
Joy is found in the aims and games of the children, 
a part is played in their stories and a dance to their tunes. 
Finding beauty in duty with rays of compassion, 
the future is led to the ways of utmost destination. 
Meddling with the matters of the mortals is never sought, 
a concentration is focused on the self generated thought. 
Positive thoughts are trained with meditation 
and surely confirmed to result in perfect action. 
Never being bothered who indifferently blocks the roads 
as holding Father's hand all races are run with eyes closed. 
With one and last answer, all questions are silenced about the existence 
that I'm nothing more than a peaceful soul wearing a temporary costume.
