Poem

What is this world but a gigantic tide – people come and go like a passing ride

Reminisce into the time – an endless sphere of moments gone by. Words spoken and unspoken – the actions outlive shaping the coming time for you and I. 

Doubt, hesitation and a moment lost – all the lingering of a distant past. What was yesterday is not today and what is today will not last. 

So uncertain is the nature of time known to us – one moment bliss, next moment chaos...


What is this world but a gigantic tide – people come and go like a passing ride. 

Yet oblivious are we to the discrepancy and deceit of the world – sweet treats and a momentary bliss, is that all we are worth? 

Is the nature of man to live a little and die, or is there a reality – a purpose from up high?

Within the soul lies the ultimate answer – as here is the source of our existence, which is to be with our Lord the Master. 

The cravings of the body, mind and heart – drenched with the scent of the temporary world, they drown the call of the soul and bury it deep – far apart. 

But if one is to dig up the treasure which is the soul – blow away the dust and hear the true call. 

Dawns the realisation of the ultimate separation – the eye bears witness with the language of tears and the mind realises the utter devastation. 

Only then we can clean the chambers of the body, mind and heart, dusting away years of sleep and unifying with the soul – never to be apart.
