☆ Enlightment…  ☆

☆

When enlightment dawned,

sorrow  became  the  succour

Source of love became genesis

of  benevolence  in  the  heart…

 *

Gradually the ritual became 

less excruciatingly painful

Slowly-slowly  the  song  of

the heart became the pacifier

 *

Now whichever way we go,

I keep finding a greater joy

Thorns became flowers and

flowers became the gardens…

 *

Sorrow kept on decreasing

with  the  passage  of  time,

The word that did not exist

became  a  renowned story…
