ETERNAL ABODE

 

ETERNAL ABODE

In age, see the beacon of thought,
Who am I, in one time what I sought,
Wherefrom I came and if I had a home,
The home is where I built it as my own, (1)


Loved here in life and saw dreams,
Beautiful looks the home I enjoy,
I spent and built block by block,
All I bought here felt like all my luck, (2)


I witnessed one house and a decent,
He worked, the kids for study, he sent,
He lives in the home, all alone, well,
He left for good. I saw a point, felt (3)


My life passed as the home I built,
Where he has gone, and he quit,
Day in and day out, I start thinking,
Why at all did I come here like him? (4)


My love, ego, joy, and vanished,
Family all love care no more wished,

Darkness and sight merge in total,
Whisper, I heard, you are not mortal,
You stay, and the body is the temple,
Illusive this world and a fact so simple, (6)

The home you built, no more, you own,
Came with empty hands, return empty,
The home of your eternal non-dual beauty, (7)


No name, no shape, you are unknown,
I was thinking in my mind, a world to disown,
You are consciousness and rest absurd,
Perplexed in the pursuit of eternal abode? (viii)
