Three Coins To Spend Poem by Ravinder Kumar Soni

Three coins are all I have to spend
I shall spend one coin
On familiarizing with my surroundings
I had stepped into, for instance
By buying treats for the kids playing in the park;
From them, I will learn who is who
And who is where; at that age and inquisitive mind
Children do not take sides and stay honest.
I shall use one coin to buy for my self
A place to live in peace and survey the world,
To purchase food and clothes,
And other essentials I need for my survival,
The coins I hold are priceless.
The third coin I shall use to buy
Myself out of the mire I have sunk into
Following my foray in the world of the living,
There is no worse place to be in,
What I am or could be is of no relevance.
Had I the fourth coin
I would have paved the way to the Beyond
With bricks of gold and planted jasmine, rose
And sandalwood on each side,
The fifth coin I would have used
To find the place and sit in Space amidst the stars
Face to face opposite the Sun
And shine as brilliantly forever.
