Touch the Cord of Divinity, Before It Is Too Late
A poem to mind the gap, to experience bliss.

As I board the metro, shining seats with signs glaring Announcements blaring the silent atmosphere Please mind the gap It says again and again
As commuters rush the train Hustling to get a sitting spot Some de-boarding at their designation When it again says, please mind the gap
At one corner, sitting with eyes closed, My thoughts running amok Please mind the gap It says again Irritated I am with its repeated rummage
A lightening epiphany struck Please mind the gap It says again The gap between the thoughts The silence that it bestows
I am awestruck by this realization How often are we aware of the gap Never, ever comes the answer
The train of thoughts racing with each other Without knowing what we think Living in auto mode Hastening from one place to other One goal to another
STOP!
Stop this madness Stop this nonstop competition With no destination in the end With No clarity in vision We are bumping our heads at every road sign
What a waste of life what a pity we don’t open our eyes to see this obvious reality
These legs will stop moving one day Hands unable to work eyes weakened But Mind stiffened to no end
Like a robot doing its work with no emotion to connect with the side commuter
In this life, we all are passengers Taking a ride together to get down at the different destination Taking experiences with us
Nothing else to be called as mine Just the lessons and love and compassion that we felt and celebrated
Mind the gap Please mind the gap before it is too late
Mind the gap between breath Mind the gap in between thoughts Before taking another step mind this nothingness gap
Rest in peace Close your eyes experience the bliss It is not inside the smartphones or on Netflix
But within you, where no Wi-Fi or technology can penetrate Only you are the key The path is — ‘mind the gap.’
Open your heart dive deep down inside Touch the cord of divinity Before, it is too late.
