Quest Of A Lifetime
by Hemant Gawande

QUEST OF A LIFETIME

Experiences,
Golden truths,
Harsh realities,
Hidden secrets,
Paradoxical ironies,
Allegorical similies,
Depths & heights,
Life & its forms,
Regulation & norms,
Traditions & rituals,
Culture & ethoes,
Virtues & conduct,
Of Eternity & spiritual thirst,
Of Prophesies & trance,
Of Miracles & evanescence,
Of healing, recuperation & decay,
Of moksha & renouncation,
Of birth & reincarnation,
These are some of the mysteries of life
which have an infinite trail
Whilst one actually would want to explore,
these facts, learn & attain mastery over'
it's too late an hour
before one realises that time has come for him
to bid adieus
& leap forward for a journey to a new world
A lifetime is really short
in order to unravel its buried treasures
As one tries to dig in
to find an end to the puzzle
one unknowingly puts an end to himself
