HEAVENLY BLISS

You are too ignorant to declare,

“Bliss is the rarest commodity”

“Heaven is not on the thoroughfare”

Bliss is in you; heaven is on earth

They are one in one and won by you

Bliss is heavenly; heaven is blissful

To have it in life is really beautiful

It is futile to search for them there

But easy to find them so much here

Success is not to be taken to the head

Nor failure is to be taken to the heart

Victory follows a series of failures

To bestow on you the due knowledge

Of how to have victory without fail

Actions are sheer parts of our lives

So are the results surely mere ones

And so work-cultures and life-styles

Are to create all sorts of emotions

To ruffle the calm and serene heart 

Like bubbles in water whirls or falls

Transient are they to be overcome

And to be conquered at ease for bliss

Only by good verse, a nice converse, 

Glimpse of nature or fine sculpture,

To mimic a cuckoo, a heed to music;

All to lull your deeply aching heart

All to appease your paining mind

Are in your hand, mind and heart

Wisdom lies in search and in quest

Of an oasis in one’s life of desert.
