ENTOURAGE

 

ENTOURAGE

 

Soul fascinated, lifelong amused,

Life experiences pain confused,

Joyous moments forget the past,

Impassionate stays soul to last, (1)

 

Future a new sunrise aspire a lot,

Human life intricate result effort,

A mango seed tree grows exhibit,

Only mango the tree provide wit, (2)

 

Human knows the wrong deed seed,

The tree grows fruit poison read,

Read thousands of books to escape,

Human life stays happy shape, (3)

 

Visits pilgrim monasteries a lot,

Meet sages ascetic lives to escort,

Rebel today, one of them confesses,

Want to live to love a world impress, (4)

 

It is my world, a cocoon paradise,

Discovered what is love precise,

A healing touch cry for the sufferer,

The emotion the human heart offers, (5)

 

When there is death, misery, tears,

Extinguished the candle, disappear,

The disappeared is only my soul,

Sharing other's pain visits my goal, (6)

 

I reject the detached state addict,

Lustful physical pleasure depicts,

The poisonous fruit blisters skin,

The soul stays, life struggles keen, (7)

 

Escape humans no root help other,

Behold a tree uprooted disappear,

A hundred miles away, a seed grows,

Sprouts twin leaves the tree bows, (viii)

 

Served during lifetime start again,

I returned from the hermit to gain,

Fewer heart flutters, wings spread,

Calm mind, quiet life desire thread, (9)

 

A hundred thoughts plan courage,

Soul at social service with an entourage,

Sympathy care for others happily,

Dreams for another life incredibly, (10)

 

The soul of my life, an uprooted tree,

Grow at different times, place free,

Magnificent will be the tree tall,

Live hundred years flowers call, (11)

 

Sweet fruits invited birds to nest,

Singing the song of my life, chirping,

Back home from the hermitage phase,

Twilight years thoughts entourage. (12)
