We are travelers
Oh, yes we are.
Travelling from one end of the world
To another
Now here, now there,
Life continues unending
This world to another
Where does it lead?
We remain unaware.
The grass growing reminds us
There is life
You pluck it you throw it
It shoots up again…
Life and death are intermingled
Surrounding space beyond our reach
Think awhile “is this the mystery of life?”
Scientists reveal so many secrets of this universe
But can they reveal this secret of life?
Perhaps in the days to come
They might discover an answer.
There are stories of people
Pulled back from this remote world
Whose experiences of the other world
Beyond our imagination baffles the mind:
We trudge along the beaten tracks of life
Cutting, paving the lanes
Meandering here, there, everywhere
Looking, searching, expecting, inhaling
Or trying to inhale the decaying perfumes of peace
Washed away by the winds of nasty differences;
Drawing lines and boundaries,
We forget we are a human race
Sent upon earth to fulfill God’s plan
To live in peace and gratitude
For this beautiful life on earth:
To plume it with rainbow colors
And spread gleeful wings
Like the peacock adorned
With beauty and grace;
To swirl in the waters like the swan
Graceful and majestic
Holding our heads high:
The oceans and rivers know no boundaries
They mingle and flow as a whole
Can you differentiate?
Which water comes from where?
It is crystal clear
Though packaged differently,
All muddy water comes from puddles
It is processed before put to use
Human life is ‘salt less’ without salt
Mingled with sugar and honey it is palatable;
As travelers upon this planet
With man- made boundaries
We surrender our heart and soul
To discords
Destroying relationships
Our free flowing thoughts
Bounce us back and forth
Like a drowning ship at sea
Caught in a whirlpool
Struggling for survival

life is short ,resolve differences before the branch is cut off and there is no time to lament
an important message
It’s a beautiful poem based on the idea of ‘ To Live & Let Live’ Theoretically all will agree that that’s what God had in His mind but in practical life we don’t believe in following it. Let’s hope we will be able to change all this for the future generation but it’s a Herculean task which requires total commitment of each & every individual living in this world
