Thought
Keep lamp well-tended, be alert
Death’s timely knock we won’t avert
Last heaving sigh of breath’s gasp
But passing moment now is last
Different moods pathos and joy
Mind’s complex fabric to employ
Endless possible fields at hand
Crime if made a mere wasteland
Exploring keen, create express
Too energised for lazy rest
Squeezing every drop of juice
God’s orange gift for selfless use
Prayer
O Lord when I think that energy, struggles achievements and disappointments belong to me I feel exhausted; but when I see that it is Thy inexhaustible energy and I am only Thy conduit, I feel Thy boundless energy and joy flowing. May I not waste time and energy in this falsehood of ownership but spend it in the joy of being used.
