A Canned Life

From the time at the dawn of life

when as children we cry,

through adolescence to the dusk

sufferings and the tears run dry.

 

With some temporal joys

there runs a short rope of time,

and this rope is burning

every second making a chime.

 

One end is placed at our birth time,

and the other end is held by death.

to make the most of this life,

we have limited numbers of breath.

 

We all have been running

galloping thru this race,

many times in a Kalpa

afraid of Yama\'s mace.

 

All that needs to be done

is to slow down this burning rope,

peace, love and fearlessness

are key to a magic called hope.

 

Truth, mercy and diligence

fortitude, patience and purity,

to cut the karmic bondage

nothing works like charity.

 

From control of senses & mind,

comes the control of our body.

It slows down the breath,

and leads us to samadhi.

 

Samadhi is the college

where Guru is the teacher,

he will then take us up

and upgrade for the future.

 

All this exercise in life

of solving puzzles thru meditation,

leads us to a bountiful life

full of peace, love and elation.

 

As we feel unbound love

and the fears go away,

we become full of light

and out of death\'s sway.

 

A tunnel of brightness

that passes thru the Sun,

We tread this path smiling

and still having all the fun.

 

It passes thru the seat of Brahma

A star called Sagittarius A,

We get blessed by the father

then again it leads us away.

 

The other end of this wormhole

leads to Vishnu and Shiva,

the caretaker of the universe

and to the Supreme Diva.

 

Shiva is all father of this universe

Brahma is the father is all souls,

Bhagwan Vishnu is the caretaker

where we all play our roles.
