Echoes Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

The layers of intelligence sits upon my brain
to seek knowledge and wisdom so be it to my gain
the purpose i walk upon earth is to find
enlightenment of my soul
whatever success comes into my hand
shall shape the pathway of my journey
in this world

above the clouds in heaven exist
to receive my faith
until my time of departure
i must fulfill my responsibility and wait
the echoes in the valley
will remain symbolic to the dreams
of the mind
where the nectar from the flowers
leads me to be peaceful and kind

though my mind be to shallow
to fathom the limitlessness of the sky
i am never too to search the self
within but to try
the shortest pathway to success
be the one truth that is straight
where i do not have to carry
so much burden of wasteless weight

the more i aspire for the power to succeed
the less i remain asleep to fulfill my need
to withdraw the mind from the cave of silence
like the turtle i creep
only then i am assured of victory
to escape the waters deep.
