VISION! <br />To see things that are invisible, - <br />Perhaps with the ‘third eye’, <br />Things which beyond the horizon lie! <br />As sages and seers meditate, <br />Beyond this world of love and hate, <br />What could be our ultimate fate? <br /> Good deeds and actions performed on <br />earth, <br />With hope of securing a better re-birth! <br />To break this never ending cycle of life <br />and death? ! <br /> <br />We all dream of a better world, <br />Lying beyond this world of ours! <br />While heaven and hell are all here to <br />stay, <br />We like children have lost our way! <br />These are not mental abstractions, <br />Lying in a hermit’s contemplation! <br />It is all that we make of ourselves, - <br />A life of good deeds and meaningful <br />action! <br />In serving mankind we serve God, <br />That’s the closest to Him we can ever <br />get, <br />Mother Teresa and many others, - <br />Have shown us that glorious way! <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> 09 Oct 09 <br /> New Delhi<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vision-39/
