| The River of Life (as 4 stages) |
The Child-a sprightly, springy, brook and stream
Flowing and dancing along merrily
Guided solely by its own freewill
Its movements swift and shrill.
The Youth- a sassy, gushy, energetic self
Bouncing and jumping over rapids and boulders high
To make many a beautiful waterfall
While cutting through stony edifice of rock and all.
Then, the Middle-Aged- sobered, silent, and forging deep
Measuring its way surely into meanders and spurs
Tackling undercurrents with apparent surface calm
Settling the silt of memories old
Awaiting patiently to emerge into its Goal.
In the Old Age- a stoic serenity falls upon it, and
This tranquil shroud it wears till end
As it willingly flows in sweet surrender
Into the vast, expansive Nothingness -
The Divine Ocean of Bliss....................
