Over To Heart Poem by Purnima Manhas

In the glory of life
All pervading self
Never calming ego
Think I forgot
The Secret of Love

Stabbed my heart
Calmed my feelings
Think I let the mind
Let the mind to control
To control me
And thus lost to its plea

Time been kind though
Brought unexpected turbulence
I was shaken to the core
And there amidst the dark
When that mind saw no light
Stood firm the savior
And the time has come for heart

Strength was gathered
Hope was seen
Love was felt
To compassion I knelt
And recovered as I
Restored the mind
The game in store
Began once more

Lesson of life
Though learnt little late
As it ain’t too late
I turned to my spirit
Through the heart -gate
Took my first step
A firm step
To the Spirit I said
Please take over me
And into my heart
The light was infused, forever
To glow my being
