What a seeking it is, when the flame ablaze, <br />Couldn’t feed enough to make it peace, <br />The nagging pestering from the chest, <br />The horizontal and vertical attack from the north, <br />Couldn’t sleep at night, throwing tantrum of might, <br />The thirst and hunger of it never be satisfied, <br />Sucking of the essence from the growing treasure, <br />How much retrieved also never depleted, <br />The gazing, nibbling, chewing and regurgitation, <br />Of it mould many of us craze, push us to desperation, <br />The appetite of it can’t be suppressed, <br />The amount of thirst can’t be evaluated, <br />Couldn’t sleep at night, the calling from the north, <br />Heard through the eyes, the whole body is possessed, <br />By the spirit, which erect the fence on our path, <br />The heads ache and worldly food not desired, <br />This appetite is very specific and can’t be bought, <br />To store as the diamonds. Must work hard, <br />In hunger year after year, once obtained, <br />No thief can steal it from us, except the plagiarists, <br />are you awake all your life seeking the KNOWLEDGE, <br />through sharing and incubating of the fact?<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/are-you-awake-2/
