The New Birth

Shaking off his old ways,
The sheepish, wining lad,
Stands out as a gallant Man!

Tired of being a creeper,
Decides the ivy vine,
To be a Tree – with a backbone!
Straight to stand against the storm,
For a cause – for a meaning!

Though being alone,
Without a one to support,
The Tree shall stand out in its own Grace,
In its own Signature Stance!

No more the wining lad,
Weeps on the forgone past,
Nor does it throbs with expectation
Of the lovely future!
Does he what is right.
Every moment, being in the action spree!

Chooses he not to waste his time,
On people and things,
Those do not deserve his grace.
For cares he not,
Who care not him!

Sticks he still,
To realm of unconditionality,
But cares he not,
Whether he is loved or considered!

He is no more the shimmering star,
But he is the glaring Sun,
Who stands for his cause,
And is sure what he is,
And What he wants!
He proclaims to all,
Close and Far,
Known and unknown –
I am a giver!
Need I none from you!
For what will you give to one
Who already has everything!

More than feelings,
More than emotions,
It is the cause – the purpose of existence.
That is important – that is relevant.

The new life is an opportunity,
To be an expert – in a domain –
Creating one’s worth with
Intellectual and Psychological Capital.
Being richer with many and more
Relationships – friends and family!
But at the same time,
Maintaining ones own space,
One’s own grace,
Doing what is in style,
Creating what is Beautiful!

Growing up from the world of a dog,
To the kingdom of Chiefdom!
Nourishing, guiding and shaping the world,
With the most inspiring character –
Something on which all are proud of!

It is coming to the realization
That it is more important to be RIGHT,
Than being just GOOD!
It is about caring for a mission,
And standing by it – no matter what!
It is about having the veins of the steel,
To tame the lowly and stupid genetic urge –
Gifting to oneself the artifact of being Human!

Life is living in action – perennial action,
Working always towards something bigger than itself!
It is about creating a legacy,
Not out of the stance of an egoist self,
But from the place of being a link – a carrier of goodness!

It’s nice to have woken up,
From a long slumber,
Metamorphosis it was gallant,
The journey from the caterpillar to the butterfly!

Life is nice, life is good!
The best part of it,
Is the continuous lesson it teaches,
Ushering to realizations anew!
Leading one to the New Birth!
