Poetry And The Creative Mind Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

Out of the ocean
waves of desire take birth
to take up the weight of responsibility
and to touch the dirt
as a mother would have patience
to teach her child to creep
that he grows up to seek knowledge
and for the fruit of labor reap

out of ignorance
the carpet of truthfulness unfolds
that imagination will lead the mind
to create what in youthfulness
will be told
the challenges to escape inconvenience
gives you the opportunity
to be overwhelmed with faith
when the pathway you must journey
becomes clear and all your habits straight

out of darkness
pearls of wisdom come to light
beneath the depth of sacrifice
when you look up to the clouds
and follow what is right
to cross the storm of difficulties
you will find inspiration to lead
like nurturing a plant
to be free from any weed

out of poetry and the creative mind
you will find tranquility to comfort your soul
to remove the barriers of temptation
and not be trapped in the blindness of the world
to be an instrument of humanity
that will sound peaceful in the atmosphere
the echoes will forever remain
in the mountain when the waves disappear.
