Mind

The flowers wither when its time
The sun disappears in the horizon
People known bid goodbye
Objects held dearly deteriorate

What then sustains
This thing called life
A burden to carry
Alive yet dying

The questions pour forth
Creating a turbulence in my mind
Disturbed I faint and accept madness
Overcome by these torrent of thoughts

Suddenly the flowers bloom within
As the spirit brightens the mind
People populate with love
And play with the objects that arise

Ye mind! You are a wonder
Constantly changing and playful
Your games I see now
Wonderstruck I bow down and pray

May this realization last forever
Asato ma sat gamaya
Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya
Mrtyor ma amritam gamaya

Om Shanthi Shanthi Shanthihi
