Epiphany is a sparkling moment
When a realization, like lightning, strikes,
Prompted by some external stimuli,
And drastic changes in perception occur.
Vows are taken and kept effortlessly.
Kalinga War hit Emperor Asoka
For its full of pathos and tragedies,
And made him denounce his thirst for conquests.
Lord Buddha got enlightened like that.
He died of lung cancer; I quit smoking.

I would like to translate this poem
though late a bit, it is still worth! enlightening poem! When we pray to Lord Siva and Vishnu during Brahma Muhutham before sunrise, the feeling is great and our life will be more meaningful, not as Buddha, who had abandoned his young family to be the Sadhu..
