Light up the matches
You won’t enjoy contemplation,
If money is still a component.
You won’t aim for a peaceful life,
If luxury is a far-fetched dream.
You won’t think about the extras,
When there is more than needed.
When will you unself yourself,
To finally see the mysteries of this world?
The wonder that you are in this wide,
Wide boundless universe.
Stretch an arm, take another step,
Come closer to the parts that you hide,
That hides the best part of you.
For, this life is not a dream that ends,
But a reality that can be grasped.
Let the fire burn,
Light up the matches
In the corners of your worn out heart,
And warm the place where your presence grace.
For, this is a life where endurance is awarded,
And the dreams are captured.
On days it’s harder to get up, I think of camp fires. It takes more than one person at the camp to get it started but the joy it brings is enormous. Thank you for reading and hope you enjoyed the poem!! Appreciate any comments/feedback :)
