Jazzed up, with fervor, the
Journey I embark - to find ways
Joy can adorn my essence.
Jaded, the many shades of world
Jammed with vices clogging the soul,
Jump on to the ignorant psyche!
Jittering gusto questions the cosmos -
Just, what would matter at the end?
Jingle of virtue answers in harmony -
Junk these are, the material treasures,
Jewels of the spirit are love and compassion,
Joining me with the eternal force,
Jubilantly unfolding the meaning of life.
just awesome - where do you get the inspiration from Laxmi ?
ReplyDeleteIt came from the word "Junk" Priya - I was in a cleansing mode and realized that most things we hold on to are just "Junk" :-))
