A heartfelt Salute…

A heartfelt salute to the Egyptians!
You took the risk – jumped in the fire –
Made a better world!

I salute the brave souls
Who cared about their dream,
Took that big leap,
Going beyond the
Genetic urge to play safe!

I salute those evolved beings,
Who see their purpose
Before their pleasures.
For whom being alive,
Is an opportunity to
Make a better world!

I salute those gallant hearts,
Who had the courage to
Go beyond being cynical,
Holding a hope,
Giving goodness a chance!

I salute those passionate souls,
Who went beyond looking good,
And had the courage,
To take that risk –
To express their love,
Knowing it was irrelevant,
Whether they got it back!

I salute those Gods,
In flesh and blood,
Who define their being alive,
With creating a work of art,
Every awake moment,
Either with a job well done,
Or bringing a smile to others,
Adding to the collective wellbeing,
Either by a kind pat,
Or a compassionate smile!

I salute those brethren,
Who go beyond what is apparent,
And takes that valiant stride,
To re-look at things,
With a perspective of love!

I salute those sages,
Who are incurable romantic,
Spilling over with love,
For one and all,
Painting a lovely life,
For themselves and others,
Today, tomorrow and forever..

I salute those honorable beings,
For whom love is –
All about giving,
All about expressing,
All about caring,
All about kindness,
All about compassion,
All about understanding!
And nothing about getting
Anything in return!

They are forever in rapture –
Intoxicated, building memories,
Of love pristine,
Woven into a beautiful dream!
With no intent,
To shatter the dream divine,
Into the crass reality!

For their love and care!
Is a style of being alive,
Falling in love -
With a person, a cause, a dream, a purpose!
