Time Won't Knock You Down Poem by Mohammad Younus

Time won't knock you down,
You are time itself.
O Man, why do you fear death
In your thoughts?
Death is but a milestone
In the journey of life,
A marker of the road we've traveled,
Not an end, but a continuation.

No one is ever truly dead.
We walk a path
That has no ends,
A timeless voyage
Through the sea of mystery.
If you could reach
The deepest truth,
You would be
A happy, conscious traveler,
A seeker of the light within,
Guided by the Morning star of wisdom.

Do not be misled to think
That death is the end of the tale,
A prelude to life
In realms of hell or heaven.
Heaven and hell
Are your own making,
Reflections of your inner world,
Mirrors of the life you've lived.

If you are poor in this world,
Having not earned
The wealth of knowledge,
You will never be rich
In the new worlds.
Knowledge is the true light,
That does illuminate
Our path forward,
The legacy we carry
Beyond the veil of mortality.

Embrace each moment,
For time won't knock you down.
You are the architect of your destiny,
The weaver of your own tapestry,
A timeless being on an endless journey,
Evolving, growing, forever reaching
For the deepest truth,
For the eternal light.
