Seeing Around Better..... Poem by Jayatissa K. Liyanage

Seeing Around Better.....

Rating: 5.0


Rose up, above all the rest
not to be the tallest, nor the mightiest;
not with the intention of
trampling others down;
or to show off to the world that
I am the greatest!

As some things seemed covering me
over and aroundmy head
making me blind and bound
I wished to be free myself of delusions

I see now where I stand amongst the rest
and who is around me more clearly
I am contained and contented so much
to see many others too are trying to
see the world above their own eyebrows.

Earth, varied her latitude - - - - loved that line, absolutely loved it. A perfect line is what we all want to write and you did it here!

Wishing to be free from delusions is the nice and interesting perspective of life. Self is always greatest by virtue and power of light. There is no need to have showy nature of own greatness. With humility perceiving this world by love and peace is great. An outstanding poem is very brilliantly penned...10
