written at Jumeirah open beach
facing Persian Gulf, UAE
with nostalgic feelings
a reminiscing.........
while jogging along Palilan shore
Philippines
salted sands get into
my right rubber shoe
I take the shoe off
remove what causes discomfort
I've learned:
when the mind is veiled with injurious thoughts
and radiates only gloom -
get rid of the mind's rubbish
assert mental positive antidotes....
As I jog through graveled shore
on a way back home
tiny pebble gets into
my left running shoe
now I take both shoes off
take bare-footed walk
I've learned:
when the road we've taken
filled with adversities
walk on
traverse all barriers
even beyond others aid
