The King Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

To open out doesn't mean
you keep open all your doors and windows
of your mind to everything outside;
that would perhaps invite unwanted dust
and dry leaves inside
especially when the exterior is windy

Forget all the chaos, the exuberance,
the passing shows that proudly parade
and try to enter the four Walls,
the four chambers,

Instead, keep yourself inside shut, cool,
and watch out how the King, brilliant jovial,
brings vitality and excitement
in his unique style;
listen to what he says
and believe in him
for the present
for he makes you believe
makes you feel happy
with whatever numbers he picks and plays
on the table out of his pack
The King of all Hearts-
he is a winner forever!
