|| THE AWAKENED ||

Peace comes from within
do not seek it with out

Years after years with watery eyes
Locked in a room a lonely mother cries.
All she wants was just a little sound
of an infant's laughter that knew no bound.
She was a queen with pride ,for her
king ,who was the worthiest guide.

Morn of a mother reached the highest kingdom.

Blessed with thousand delite in her womb.

Gift he received was the
greatest dream of his queen consort.

A white elephant brought
 a flower from Abraham's blossom
Towers of gold and lots more to bring.

Everybody knew he was born to be a king.

"Happiness is a journey
not a destination"

The child grew with happiness and care...
the king made sure no sadness anywhere near.
In the world of his own there will a tear drop by
Each time anywhere a poor soul dies.
Questions arose from deep dungeon of his heart.
The amount of emptiness torn his mind apart

Why the flower bloom, why the kingdoms rule?

Why the broken heart , why do it always hurt?

As ages past curiosity grows fast

Everyone comes and ,everyone goes ;

then why does it hurt more and more?

Silent room or crowded road ..

His soul searches for the peace boat,

King used to worry cause son of his own
Wants everything but the throne.
Tears and tears in the day that shadowed fears...
Oh! what a view the family witnessed
Painfully it was a sight of the richness.

Walking down the road for his longest ride ...

See ...there goes the changer of tide.

Prince who created history ,but never took his oath .

Became king of kings as a seeker of truth.

"You yourself as much as anybody
 in the entire universe
 deserve your love and affection."
~Lord Gautam Buddha
