Race



We are in the race
body moves daily
with bundlesof desire
pass through narrow lanes
struggle to grab
the world of comfort
 without leaving space for soul
in this journey we think
 our mind can explore
 all the hidden joy for us
in return we meet
world of pains on our way
a deep well of passion
bliss us with sufferings
prove our transient breath meaningless
let us depute heart
for hidden joy
not the mind
to lead our journey
 to have the blissfull joy.
