Measuring Life

Wounds and scars have

Chiseled my thought process

Shaped up my oeuvre

Putting right theme

In right earnest

Leaving conflicting ideas

To fend for themselves

Mistakes and failures

Have put my patience

To grueling test

Tickling perseverance

With wanton sense

Yet have sharpened acumen

To elicit modification

To the fullest

Measuring life

In the scale of success

Has never appealed

Nor has appeased

My greater sense

Honest journey

Has only secured sacred place

Enforced realisation

Of cosmic being

In all living and non-living.

Spreading scent of divinity

All across ....

Boundless soothing space.
