Poise Between Joy And Sorrow Is Good Ever! Poem by Ramesh T A

Dense clouds came and heavy rain with lightnings and thunders fell down;
All expected the rain will continue for a longtime in the night to make place cool;
But like in games such as tennis and football players play, we can't predict anything;
Even for rain and games when we are unable to assess them correctly, how can we with life?

It is not proper to worry for small things we lose and jump high even for small victory;
If we are poised in both the times, we can surmount high hills and reach plains safe;
By experience and long run, we are neither happy or sad for anything in world life;
For, as long as we live in the world, both pain and pleasure we have to manage with!

When we are young and in middle age, we have both alternating ever;
After we have attained old age, we are not for these entanglements;
For, we feel better to get freedom for our spirit than engage with pain and pleasure;
Poise between both feelings is better than feeling sad or happy and seek peace!

Seeking blissful peace at the fag end of life is like feeling one with cool night Stars
That wink at humankind to be careful with pain and pleasure for the good of spirit within!
