Silent Richness Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

I live with the belief in timelessness
of the other world
where i will have the opportunity
to enjoy the silent richness
of the soul
today i will use the valuable gift of time
to perform my duty on earth
that the pearls of wisdom
i acquire will become a legacy
to my birth

where no one race is discriminated
against nor any shadow of illusion
even exist as a dream
the abundance of blissfulness
flows with unconditional love
into the stream
where the limitless ocean
of minds come together
in oneness with the light

in the fullness of faith
i'll find the freedom to move without fear
like a reflection of my own destiny
where the shadow of illusion
before mine own eyes disappear
in this temple of my soul
i'll keep alive the flame of eternal light
for the prison of mortality
will i escape and to realize
the dream of my father foresight

my eyes will not be deceived
by the naked branches without fruit
nor will my ears be a funnel
to any whispers of untruth
i will not forsake the one
who have forgiven me
for having gone through
so much distress and pain
the fruit of my labour
i will share with the weak
that they also may have the opportunity
to achieve what i gain.
