"Glimpses of Eternity"
This is a collection of short poems I wrote. I revel in brevity and symbolism; to me, a poem is like encapsulating a big truth in a small jewel.
Cosmopolitan
I am a traveller.
My path is Life.
My luggage is my experiences.
My jewels, my friends.
My home is Earth, Sky is my roof.
My destination: Infinity.
Enlightenment
The secret Sun you
carry within your heart
warms you up from
within with great
Love.
Like the candid lotus
from mud sprung up,
so your soul to Heaven
through a life well
Lived.
You reap what you sow
You reap what you sow:
It’s a natural law.
Fair, equal and just;
Sometime all this
Makes people aghast.
But there is nothing
To be surprised of;
It’s a natural law,
The product of eternal
Love.
Don’t ask for forgiveness
Where there hasn’t been any.
Don’t look for understanding
When there has been none.
It’s a wheel that spins
And turns and runs;
It’s a natural law
And you reap what you sow.
Wish
Deep within
The still centre
Of my being,
May I find
Peace.
Silently within
The calmness
Of the grove,
May I share
Peace.
Gently within
The greater circle
Of humankind,
May I radiate
Peace.
Life
I am a flower.
I blossom
My feeble petals
Kissed by the
Morning sun and
The fresh dew.
I leave my roots.
A strong wind carries
Me upwards.
It’s a storm.
Tossed
Here and there,
I float
Up and down
Without aim.
I feel lost;
I do not know
The way.
Black clouds
Frighten me.
But then I distinguish
Vivid shades from
The dark slate;
What could it be?
“The Rainbow
You see”.
The rain diminishes,
The wind calms down;
I pass underneath
The multicolour arch.
A veil opens up,
It is sky blue
On the other side;
The Sun shines
There are no clouds.
The gentile breeze
Pushes me
A little forward.
For now, it’s done;
Tomorrow,
Who knows.
Navigating
I am a sailor
In the midst of
The sea of
Life.
The route
At the moment
Is untracked.
I do not know
What awaits me.
I do not have
A map,
My steps
Are unknown.
Only one thing
Have I got:
Faith.
Faith in knowing
That whatever
Needs to happen
Will happen
As it has happened
Thus far.
Go
With the flow.
Liberation
Fly, fly high
Small big Heart.
The Sky
Opens up
To your
Splendour.
Bright pathways lying
in front of you
suddenly disappears,
by emptiness filled.
But the Way
Is not lost;
It shines
Forever
Within
Yourself.
Breeze
The sound of the waves
gently rustling in my ears
takes me away to times
gone by.
​
The warm southern breeze
caressing my hair
takes me away to places
long lost.
​
The silvery full globe
shining up in the heavens
takes me to deserts
far, far away.
​
Sitting on the beach
a tear on my cheek
reminds of how
truly old I am.
