From Ashes To Eternity Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

I do not own any castle on earth
but only the kingdom of heaven sealed in my heart
i am a sage from the mountain
where the fountain of wisdom
with my soul will not part
i need no rope to climb
except the light of my soul
the ladder of success
and to live with intelligence
in this world

to transform imagination
to reality be my gift of birth
like waves in the ocean of my mind
in pursuit of knowledge
i can achieve what i want
upon earth
into the twilight i search for peace
to keep all obstacles away
the joy of silence removes
all my sorrow and pain
to keep me alive everyday

i nurture the leaves of prosperity
like the dewdrops before dawn
the fragrance of the flowers
in my garden gives me no reason
why i should mourn
the nectar of divinity
flows through my veins similar to the
leaves to keep me awakethe winds of change
come and go the breath of truth
remains unchanged
which i do not forsake

i get the feeling that sometime
in the future
a storm will be passing soon
when i look into the mirror of my mind
and how it reflects the moon
for all the treasure of the world
i will not surrender
my faith to keep pure the heart
the vehicle which steers my soul
to eternity
will burn to ashes
when i shall depart.
