From Existing to Living
Ashutosh Sharma

A fire through the ages, burning bright,
Nary a dilemma, not a care,
Searing those who come too close,
To others, heavenly respite.
I speak not just of flames of fuel,
But the ones that burn inside of us,
What make us look and feel alive,
Our body, mind and souls, which rule.
The very flame it seems to me,
Is faltering over a razor edge,
The blade that is this worldly fantasy,
Between the spirit and body, that wedge.
The trick or treat of man’s creation,
Far ahead of the rhythm divine,
Inviting jollies of life and colour,
Like the tempting grip of an age-old wine.
This mystic plethora of worldly pleasures,
Where greater men come and lost their way,
I am, but, a mere young boy,
What lure do I have, to not stay?
Why not let my thoughts go asunder,
Marinating in the mindless pleasures,
Of joyous chaos and easy ways;
Why not run after transient treasure?
