If Life Is A Journey Poem by Prafulla Kumar Panda

If life is a journey, then journey into deep within
like a tortoise withdraw your senses from worldly sheen
and like Budhha calmly sit under the bodhi tree
to tame your mind from growing wild and free

know yourself first, in faith you step inside
reach into the abode where the soul doth reside
calm and unstirred, above all pleasures- fish, flesh and wine
and see how in the shrine of truth it doth shine

wait to listen, when it whispers its voice
to Him you pray, and in prayer you rejoice
and every action you do, every step you make
do in love, while your faith in Him don't break.
