The Cross Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

This fountain of poems i create in my heart
will continue to flow
with the breath of inspiration in the garden of heaven
will continue to grow
to lead me into immortality
the treasure of wisdom be my light
that the angels from the Celestials
will be enlightened to take flight

with patience I carry my cross
willingly across the world on stage
like a sage bent on humility
to be free as a bird out of a cage
without any doubt or fear I look at the horizon
to see what the new clouds will bring
whatever it takes to free my mind
I drink as nectar to remove the scorpion sting

greed and lust I bury in the grave
to enjoy the blossom of truth
like the flowers of the poui tree to be awaken
by it's fragrance without any fruit
the lamps of loyalty and forgiveness
lead me to find comfort in my soul
I wish the stars from heaven will bear witness
to the sacrifice I make in this world

every opportunity to find wisdom
that knocks on my door I accept with faith
I am born into this world
with the power to create until death will I wait
my poetry will touch the boundary of every nation
throughout the world
this is the cross and purpose of my existence
to free my soul.
