My Life On A Canvas! Poem by Ramesh T A

How it would be my life on a canvas, I imagined!
My life will be a map of inner life rather a vision;
It's an ocean island in all surrounded by blue water
With snow capped mountain peak touching mists
Which connect the Earth and the Milky Way in the sky
Having the Milky Way as the stair case to heaven!

Man is stranded on a boat in the middle of the ocean;
It is night time and he sees a light house at a distance;
Even after the boat is broken by a storm he swims
With the sole aim of reaching the island shore first!

His aim is to cross the plains, climb the mount to reach top,
where he can mingle in meditation with the mists there;
The vision will tell the route to reach the heavenly stair case;
With gentle walk on the Milky Way heaven can be reached!

Struggle on the ocean gives resolution to reach the destination;
Crossing the plains in toils gives experience to aim high;
Climbing the mountain gives maturity of thought to muse then;
Mystical communion of mind with Nature paves the way to bliss!

Knowledge, vision and ambition drives will to make achievement;
The mingling of inner soul with the Universal Spirit ends mission;
The paradise of Earth after suffering leads one to heaven of joy;
This vision of life is the dream of many a poet all over the world!
