Branch was I, on a standalone Tree,
Sky was my roof in all Spree.
The cool breeze was my Breath,
With nature my comfort, at all Stretch.
Rains refreshed me, cleaned my Impurity,
Fresh I look clean and green, in all Certainty!!
Gave rest to many and enjoyed life in Sanctity,
Birds and New life sprung on me in all Versatility,
Never knew how I grew, my Own Way,
Grew in all directions, taking Life Astray.
Straight, crooked, bent, with full of Life,
With no boundaries, as happiness ran Rife.
A new Dawn and wisdom dawned on Me,
Is this- what life is, as nobody cares of Me
Wait starts, who would take me to Thee on this Journey,
For all, to commence a new life, to whom I am at Mercy.
All of me thrives, the Woodcutter Arrives,
It’s Time for me to know, what is left out of Lives.
Wondering where would I Meander and Land,
Life a trackless sand, which I don’t Understand.
The contorted ones went to the Kitchen,
Nothing saved them, and they were put to Ignition.
The ones, Strengthened with Yoga and Dedication,
The Undeviating, Furniture mart was their Destination.
The ones who cultivated their Mind,
Exuded fragrance, with Emotions left Behind,
No wonder, they are the better of the Lot,
Almighty was carved out of them, with Great Thought.
But this was not the end of the Journey...
More to come to know the Almighty.
Sadhana and Vairagya, became my Lifestyle,
Which made my life Worthwhile!!
I started exuviating my Emotions and Ahamkara,
Inner core got hollow, devoid of Raga.
That’s when, I was wood so Precise,
Time to reach the Almighty\'s Paradise.
At last was I, a flute in my Krishna’s hands
An end of a long journey, an end to Life\'s Demands.
Divinely and devoutly, in me Krishna breathes His Life
A Transcendental flow of Ragas’, an end of Life\'s Strife….
