If God has given man the capacity to think,<\/p>\n
Then why has he denied him the choice of a path,<\/p>\n
He has padded life with an unbreakable slate of suffering,<\/p>\n
But could have punctuated it with occasional ecstacy to amuse himself.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Life is a sentence without a reprieve,<\/p>\n
Freedom is an illusion widely studded in its fabric –<\/p>\n
A pearl forever stuck in its oyster<\/p>\n
Dreams are powerful as long as they do not play out<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The thought of God transcends every conception of man,<\/p>\n
It embodies us yet it does not direct us,<\/p>\n
It is a possibility on the wingtips of time –<\/p>\n
A sigh never to find relief.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Maharaj why are you desolate in the oasis of determined life,<\/p>\n
Follow your instinct and leave heartbreaks to poets,<\/p>\n
Life is a moment do not make a bridge on it,<\/p>\n
Feel like a bird in flight without a destination.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
