Reflection of life

[Ammu24]

I went up the narrow winding stairs

and came out in the desolated field.

The plants that sprung up the minute

my foot touched the ground .

The whole field, what is this?


I thought to myself with amazement still lingering .

Ah! I realized in a minutes, the field,

As the mind of a human being .

And the plants on the field I recognized

as the feeling of mind the sweet flowers,

Which covered on side, went the thought of happiness .

In the trees I recognized the kindness

which benefits others. Ah? On the

other side what I saw made me sad .


Oh! I saw the land covered with rocks

it gave the ilk appearance of a barren land.

The barren land was indeed the sorrow,

The nettles, which was seen in abundance,

reminded me of the cruelty, jealousy and

other evil intention of the mind .


The middle of the field was a beautiful lake .

covered with weeds and marshy was the

appearance in one side of the lake.

The lake on the other side was

indeed a picture to the seen.

To the lake I walked unthinkingly .


I looked in to the marshy side,

it was the sin committed by the person.

Oh! its my mind i realized.

I was shattered beyond words .

for my sins appears to be numerous.

Relief beyond words were poured the

minute I saw the surface of

the beautiful lake on the other side .


I understood that this was the lake

‘Reflection of Life’ which analyses us.

I prayed to God to wash away my sins.

Lo! Miracle of miracles a light spread

From the middle of Lake it spread

Like air I felt happiness surroundings.

Oh! I was woken by the beam of sunlight

Was I dreaming for I was in my bed

I understand that this was the test of Lord.



P.s: I wrote this 10 years back in my schooldays.I have not yet written anything this lengthy again. I am wondering whether to start writing again or not. Also English is my second language.

This was so lovely, and I agree that it could be inspirational to lots of spiritually-minded people. I love the imagery and how each image has a deeper meaning. Great work!
