Vanity dripping and spine erect
Head high, I gape at my body perfect
Oh! I love my silken skin, such golden glow
My sea blue eyes and feline walk slow
Praise showered galore wherever I go
Each minute filled with a cheer anew!
Thus, I beg almighty to freeze the time
Can’t just let go youth golden of mine
May this shine of gifted allure never fade
Amen. I hope my pleadings reach His space
One nice day, when sun heads earth’s rim
When after the usual pleading, I saw ‘him’
He sat quietly on a wooden porch
Near the place where I beg to my god
His hair rugged and looks so rustic
Surely, those eyes did master some magic
On a mere leaf he eats and prays all day
His words too, cast a spell they say
Near he came and opened his pursed lips
I melted and got confined to his jinx
He said, “Lovely body is but a delusion
Soul is truth we are to fathom
From the time of arrival until we depart
This molded dust forms just a part
We all become one in the end
For death unites us once again
Burned to ashes by our own friends
For none escorts after a life ends
Change is truth; the essence of life
Embrace lovingly, for it only survives
Do chart your path but rise above the jumble
Barter desires for the joy of surrender”
All this was very true and right
And I did come from darkness to light
However, I never saw him after that day
Was he God himself in a body of clay?
