THE BRICK WALL

Labyrinths of tissue, blood cements,
A soul, mind, and heart life laments,
No coordination and different views,
Missing rainbow of colors, and hue, (1)

Brick by brick, layered truth prevails,
Undying belief, reliance, rarely fail,
The mortar in between is love ties,
Vision of life erect barricade defies, (2)

Profound peace and care, attitude,
Savors the elixir of bliss in solitude,
Absent a corrosion porous partition,
Impregnable from evil, corruption, (3)

The dark corners of the mind hideous,
Lurks suspicion, doubt, life is jealous,
Perpetual sadness, unfounded pain,
In the shadow of the wall lies stain, (4)

Mistrust of self, the world exists,
A hell chained a soul fears persist,
On one side, the darkness tortures,
The moon stars clouded disappear, (5)

Bright side, the sunshine reflects,
Enlightenment, awareness deflect,
The warmth of realization flows,
Bask in the glory the soul shows, (6)

No quarrel, conflict, or confusion,
Emanate emancipated life scion,
Withstand peril, turbulent state,
Unlike a crumbling wall indicates (7)

Last but not least, pursue the Lord,
Opposite side of the brick wall,
Brighter His brilliance the abode,
Cross wall of the divide, abysmal. (viii)
