The Mystery Of Poetry Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

The biggest challenge is for me to prove to the world
when i take to the stage
to change the ambience of the auditorium with my colorful performance as a sage
the sleepless nights through the tunnel of darkness
to remove the pain of fear
i have sacrifice every dream of mine
to give to the world the wisdom i share

to surrender the walls of the palace
and to walk as a hermit amongst the meek
with every breath of mine and all my faith
after the mystery of life be what i seek
to compete amongst the brave laureates
i find myself to be a prisoner amongst the poor
with whatever offering of kindness
i continue the quest for peace from door to door

with the light of inspiration every day before sunset

i give grace to fall asleep
that even in the darkness of the night
i contemplate in silence and weep
though the garment of rags i wear
don not disturb the thoughts of my mind
i try to shape the future that humanity
shall achieve peace for all of mankind

my purpose on this earth to bring words into life
is what i dream
tomorrow like pearls of wisdom
the ashes from my leaves will flow in the stream.
