Alladin's Mantra

Rating: 4.2


Alladin's Mantra

I was sitting alone
In a high walled prison
Searching for an outlet
To see the day's light.
My breathless soul
Was looking for an escape.


Someone whispered
A ‘Mantra' in my ear
It was as powerful as
Alladin's lamp.

He told me how to
Conquer the unconquerable
And jump the high walls.
He told me to gather energy in myself
And then run like Harry Potter
Through the walls.

He told me to become energy
And move round the whole universe
And then I can reach my God in seconds.

Power of mind is not poor but to realize it is hard

Thank you so much Sekharan Pookkat for your nice comment. We have tremendous energy inside.But we often fail to see that energy and so languish in dark cell.

Faith and self belief are the two most powerful tools in our possession, how we use it is left to us only. Nice poem. I am sure the walls were artificial created by the mind.... Bri should not be worried about Jumping or Running now.....

'You mentioned 'jumping over' the walls, but switched to 'running through them'. Hmm? Are you sure 'I/me' didn't end up burrowing UNDER the walls? ?

Thank you Bri for your comments for which I am revisiting the poem after a long time.Very often we create walls around us and afraid to jump the walls.We have to do away with those mental blocks that hinder us and then only we can progress.

I think I saw part of only 1 Harry Potter movie. I laughed [[ silently ]] when I read this, which I don't believe I saw on a screen: 'And then run like Harry Potter Through the walls.'
