A Vision Of Life - I Poem by Ramesh T A

With a wild eye I wonder at the morning scene!
What a dizzy rapture I feel seeing Nature!
With freshness and glory how birds fly in the sky!
How beautifully the fresh flowers bloom at the hour
As if woken up from a deep slumber of the night!
All the scenes of Nature never seem to disturb
The sleeping beauty enjoying the last phase of sleep
Still in a dreamy state before waking up to work!

After the day’s work friends watching the Moon
Lie on the bed and muse over the distant Stars
To dream about the wonders of the Universe!
All teachers are not teachers if they fail
To make you think and love to work for truth.
Nature is such a teacher to tell us everything
In plain truth through simple scenes of Nature
Quite great and memorable in one’s life!
Man’s mind in communion with Nature knows
The presence of a living spirit in everything!
This Nature is full of such a unique feature that
Only a mystic can muse over to enjoy bliss ever!

Building model mud houses in the beach
Children play the game of mom and dad;
On the sand marble games boys play
Everyday before the school begins;
Throwing the stones in the pond they catch
Fish to grow in glass boxes at home;
And many more games like hide and seek
And see saw children play in the park.
Such animal pleasures boys like to indulge!

Youths lie on the green grass in the park
Engrossed in the beauty of colourful flowers;
Boating on the lake they enjoy the beauty
Of the mist covered hills around the place
And on the mid lake they lie on the boat
Forgetful of the world a while in Nature;
These are the aesthetic pleasures they enjoyed
They never forget for a longtime in life.

To overcome worries and get peace of mind
Men lit cigarette and watch the night Stars
Of the sky philosophically brooding over
Earthly life and Universal truth in depth;
They gain true knowledge from experience
And advise the youths struggling in life;
They get relief in intellectual pleasure so.

Walking on the beach or misty hills
Men muse over Nature in loneliness
Forgetting themselves in communion
With the spirit of sea, mountains, sky,
Rivers and the beauty of whole Nature;
They enjoy spiritual pleasure, divine bliss
Many miss in the business of the world!

Vision develops on best portions of one’s life;
Vision is the map of human life in the world.
Vision of life helps how life has to be lived;
Vision of world helps what duty one has to do;
Vision of God helps how bliss can be enjoyed
In communion with the all pervading spirit;
Vision of the whole helps to have ambition.

Extensive knowledge of everything one needs first
To know before one has a vision of the whole
To live a wholesome life in the human world.
Knowledge of Self, world, Nature and God
Becomes perfect in meditation producing
Whole vision to have a suitable ambition
To achieve best result in the world life.
Knowledge, vision, ambition and achievement
Are what human life is all about in the world!
