Seeing Beyond

 #Seeingbeyond ...

If you could cast your sight 

on the far side 

of the thin running stream

dancing along 

you'd be able to see beyond 

If you could see 

how far the mountains spread

never ending length and breadth 

you'd  be able to know the limitless 

If  you  could part 

the curtains of your mind 

you'd be able to see

through the window a light 

of wisdom that shines beyond 

If you could  pay attention

to the unseen 

you'd hear the silent sound 

whispering hope lies beyond 

If  you could  understand 

the purpose of life 

you'd  love unconditionally 

knowing happiness lies beyond 

If you could feel the pain 

of your fellow men 

you'd be kind to them till the end 

would know bliss is beyond self 

If you could lovingly touch 

hearts from far with your affectionate words and deeds 

You would know joy

is not  beyond reach 

If you could lift 

the eyelid of ignorance 

from kohl smudged eyes 

you'd  see the truth beyond 

If you could sing 

only gratitude while you pray 

without asking for fulfilling wants 

You'd be truly blessed beyond !
