Gratitude

What would i have done -
without all the people in my life?

They are the reflections of my inner soul
Playing and weeping, fools in a frenzy
Their string of follies is the garland of life

Showing me the unending delight -
that life has so much to offer
What prompts me to sit back -
to relax and enjoy the show?
How am i beyond these curfews -
that we ourselves take so much pain to create?

Standing atop a mountain of pain, and then one day
Without warning and fair decree starts the descent
Hurtling down, with no course or control...

Do i really love -
or is it all a controlled illusion?

The measure of kindness, the barrier of skin
If everything adds up to the sovereign state
If everything is true, then so are the lies too

Why do my thoughts still linger -
on lies, and such lesser affairs?

This circle of life, this passion of existence
Unbounded freedom, without the curse of time
Isn’t this the totality of all our silly games?

It is true and I’ve felt so –
what goes around shall come around
So it’s only a matter of time –
before the show shall start again
Forget all the truths and untruths –
all the lies and deception

Beneath the rife and the reason lies a mystery
It is that which keeps us all, and takes us all
That which knows no other, not even itself

What would I have done –
without life to teach me what to do?
