Journey Beyond The Horizon Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

before a seed be gift with life it must first be plough into earth
for the soul to enter the cell of a human being
it must mirror one's purpose of birth
unknowingly the pathway of the future
becomes like a magnet to draw our feet
the detractions of the world limits our vision
to make believe that destiny is the goal we must neet

We spend a whole lifetime to explore the universe
trying to change what is already there
we do not recognize that faith grows
from within like the fruits which awaits time to bare
the knowledge we labor for cannot be compared
to the pearls of wisdom which our intelligence find
hidden in the ocean of the mind
the waves of light will not forsake us behind

the inner world takes us through
a journey beyond the horizon which cannot be explain
when we begin to examine ourselves
and seek to be enlighten there would
be no reason for suffering and pain
the castles we build on earth
will only touch the clouds but will remain
far from the sky
the unconditional love which we shape
in our hearts will spread like a carpet
to pronounce victory
when we die

it is necessary to seek freedom from this world
in which we are all in a cage
we are all angels from heaven in wait
for our wings to return when we can complete
life as a sage
into the timelessness of eternity we must
also expire to become one with the infinite
the invaluable treasure of the soul
will weigh our destiny when we face
the truth and the light.
