HIDE THYSELF FROM FAME



Hide thyself and thy qualities;
don’t fall into the limelight
of the wicked and their evil eyes
who only seek to destroy you
in the name of glory and fame.
Hide in the remotest corners
of this vast earth
where there is no shame;
seek not fame
or you will have to bear the blame
for success is but an illusion
which the wise avoid.
They know they will fall into the void
where there is no peace
nor happiness except the shame
of success so illusory and lame

STAR GAZING



When we gaze
at the stars shining bright
on a cloudless,
moonless night
we sure do feel
a sense of timelessness
then do we exist
in all the three tenses
We then do subsist
at that given moment
in the past present
and future are we transported
you watch the light
that originated in the past
though it travels bright
over considerable distance very fast
and reaches you now
in the world of the present
touching your soul
which in the future will be present
