A Life Of Poetry Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

Every time i create a poem and have it
publish on a new site
it raises a deep spark of spirituality
to know I am walking in the light
I have accomplished my dream to know
I stand amongst the famous poets on earth
my name will become immortal
to achieve my purpose of birth

like a little boat flowing with the waves
to reach the shore
I continue to explore my imagination
to create life more and more
to illuminate my soul from
where comes the inspiration to write
to my audience who accompany me and listen
to my voice I enjoy to recite

poetry quenches my thirst as well as
remove the toxicity from my vein
to keep pure my heart from grief
I am free from suffering and pain
I ask not for any reward nor to walk
on any carpet of fame
may the world come to recognize
that anyone can be healed by taking my name

in my youthfulness, I have walked
like a lion to be brave
to cross the bridge and reach the golden age
I learn to seek wisdom for this is all
my treasure saved
I have no castle nor any empire
to leave behind
the knowledge I accumulate
in my mind be limitless to find.
