While His Body's Vigor Is Whole

Bhartrihari

 Next Poem          

While his body's vigor is whole
And old age is remote;
While his sensuous powers are unimpaired
And life not yet exhausted;
Only then would a wise man
Strive to perfect his soul.
Why attempt to dig a well
When the house is already burning?

    Hi!
    I discovered your book and really loved the world and characters you created. I?m a commission-based artist and poet, creating custom poems and artwork inspired by authors? characters, stories, and themes.
    I can create something specifically for your work, whether it?s a character poem, horror, fantasy, romance, mystery, thriller, drama, adventure, sci-fi, historical, comedy, or emotional piece, along with promotional artwork and poetry.
    If you?re interested, I?d be happy to send you some examples of my work!
