Reflection

Splashing my face in running water,
suddenly, it was reflecting me,
Amazed but not surprised to see,
where has all the smile gone from my face,
where is that peace,
where is the courage to do the things,
looking like a very boorish person,
who has lost charm in his life.

walking on the road, passing through a light pole,
I was caught in my own shadow,
it was very big and dark,
I asked myself,
have I grown dark,
is my heart filled with the darkness of hatred,
have I done so many sins,
looking like a dreaded criminal,
who has done no good to others.

sleeping near a bonfire, in the lonely jungle,
its fire suddenly caught my eyes,
i saw myself in fire,
looking like something burning in me,
i don’t know what that desire is,
don’t know how to keep it up,
how to keep this eternal flame alive,
it was like , i was having all,
but still i am searching of, don’t know what.

finally when i sat for meditation,
i looked into myself,
a voice came and i was amazed,
how beautiful i am,
how courageous i am,
having done sins but also the confessions for those,
i need not to worry at all,
because all this is what ,
is making me stronger, and a more sensible person.
i got my smile back,
i got my courage back,
and the desire to do.
