Deceive not-
By how I look or
where I come from
Deceive not yourself either-
By what you wear or
how many languages you can speak
We ALL are here-
with the different karmic or
non-karmic reasons
with the different choices of
costumes and rolls
Yet we ALL are here playing the
same game-
the great game so called ‘ human life’!
If you take a first glimpse of me-
You may see only a stranger, with
all kinds of odds and differences from yours;
If you take another look at me-
You may no longer see a stranger,
because you see that my blood is as red as yours;
If you take another closer look
at me-
You may see a friend there, the earth
can be a lonely place,
you may need a friend and so do I…
If you take an even deeper look through
my eyes into my soul-
You may recognize me, that I am
your soul sister/brother and you are mine…
As the autumn sun is cozying
through my cheeks
As the rich hues of the autumn
leaves are feasting my eyes
As the crispy tones and chippings
from the unknown birds are indulging my ears
As the little
muddy yet fertile ground is mothering my feet nurturing my physical vessel
As a stranger
walking passing by is giving me a kind smile without any special reason
and his dog
is leading the way sniffing around happily and playfully …
At this
very moment,
Every
bits and pieces, in its own way
Every
different hues and ingredients, in its own fashion
has
contributed directly or indirectly to -
Such a
perfect beautiful autumn afternoon…
