The Power Of Faith Poem by Sookdeo Manansingh

We are powerful creatures
wonderfully made from beams of sunlight
we have tremendous energy
to equip us with the fullest potential
wherever faith may lead us to go
to achieve our purpose of birth

Our breath gives us strength to live
to create whatever desires come to mind
that reality will turn into light

the world to us
is where all the challenges
stands for us to face
in victory or defeat

We are fortunate to be on earth
amongst the other creatures
that either crawl of have wings to fly
to look at the beauty of nature
and enjoy the freedom of living
without fear to be in
awareness of our being

Our imagination is the strength
we have to guide our feet
wherever time will lead us to achieve

To become enlightened by wisdom
and to reach the target of destiny
is the greatest achievement of human existence
that one could possibly dream


The flowers in the forest
and the fishes underneath the ocean
are two perfect examples of nature
which never cries of illness
but remains contented with fate

When thunder and lightnings strike
to form a storm in the ocean
the waves are the first to respond
and surrender in sacrifice
to go forward with time
in search of serenity
that will remove the turmoil on earth

Soon they will go to the burial ground
where they will surrender themselves on the shore

The darkness in the clouds
will cause the wind to roar
to remove the ignorance
created by the hands of men
who wants to disrupt the peace
we all enjoy on earth
yet we must understand
that the truth makes us inspired
to bring out the hidden treasures
which is from the gift of life

Towards our eternal freedom
we spend a whole lifetime
pursuing a dream to unfold the mystery
we wish to unfold
when the glow of light
will glitter in the minds
that are free and have the power
to become one with the infinite
who governs the universe
