In life there comes a time, when there is a paradigm shift
the bucket is the same, only the list undergoes an overhaul.
From the materialistic, the focus shifts to the spiritual,
mind delves deeper, to find the meaning of life.
The soul wants to embark on a journey
to explore the realm of the cosmic plane.
Before the expected time of final destination arrives,
first on the list, is to awaken from the deep slumber of existing
in a rigmarole of societal pressure,
free oneself from the clutches of unending desires.
The goal now, is to travel inward,
listen to the silence, indulge in reflective conversations,
evolve to be an enlightened version of the self,
bask in the glory of the infinite light, to finally
experience the blessing and affluence of divine wealth.
This is soooooo gooood Radhika!❤❤❤

True words of reality, Radhika. When we are young our priorities are so different and now as we are growing older our priorities change for the better. Nice poem.

So beautifully composed in to your poem – this truth that we realize eventually and fortunately, it is such a precious life and opportunity to get to know ourselves for the spirit of our being and live from there, appreciating all that we get to engage in.
