Joyful Life Poem by Arun Maji

Rainbow is always there in sky of your life.
But if you keep your eyes closed
with veil of your wounded past,
how would you see that rainbow?

Pain and wound
would always be there in life.
They are so tightly tied with life
that none can separate them.
But you don't have to suffer the agony of wound.
You really don't have to.

You have the power within
to turn your pain into a beautiful verse
and wound into a beautiful story.

But are you forgiving enough
to free yourself
from clutches of anger, hatred and fear?
Until you are free-
how would you fly in sky of imagination
to write beautiful verse, called joyful life?

Forgiving is not an option
It's a must to live a joyful life.
