Knowing The Uknown Poem by Rohit Ullal Rao

Life is a deep ocean
Of which i know not the end
There are things in motion
Here, i can't comprehend.

If i think i know things
I can't be more wrong
The surprises fate springs
Are more than i can count.

The world opens its secret doors
Only to those who can feel
And not to those who keep score
Of what to them most appeals.

There is a steep price to pay
To obtain such precious gems
And often the gifts don't stay
For long, whatever I spend.

I must burn the idea of self
And shed the burden I hold
Life is more than the sense
I have of this pithy world.

The only way out is to know
That i have much to learn
And be ready to sink below
The ocean, and to dark waters return.
