GATEWAY TO HEAVEN

 



GATEWAY TO HEAVEN

 

The soul swims on clouds under skies,

Far below, the mundane world defies,

Fearfully rules the perpetual darkness,

The sunshine refreshes life, impresses, (1)

 

Countless human stories truly touch,

Innumerable miseries escape search,

The dungeon chained life, no freedom,

Wanton desire to get free, get seldom, (2)

 

Happiness meant gold assets or fame,

Impermanence, the property, defame,

Shadow of suspicion and doubts here,

Trust and faith or belief present peer, (3)

 

Sweet homes, servants, family grows,

Pavement dweller shanties life knows,

Tasty food variety dishes, aroma lures,

Lacks a morsel of food or bread suffers, (4)

 

Nightclubs, wine, and the dancer sings,

Under a lamppost, life, without wings,

Single, lack family, friends, or foes yet,

The contrast differs, day and night, fate, (5)

 

Symphony of melodious song enchants,

Melancholy tune of sadness incessant,

Glorious, colorful flowers, birds, animals,

Dreary desert dune phenomenal, (6)

 

Love kindness, compassion, and tears,

Arid fields, bald mountain disappears,

The cycle of events, surprises, precise,

Mysterious lifecycle resurrect or rise, (7)

 

Free from illusion, deathless life exists,

Gateway to heaven opens soil resist,

Flora and fauna verdant valley tempt,

Eternal peace and bliss, soul attempt. (viii)
