Just Another Brush Stroke

A poem by Alesha Thorpe...

Sri Chinmoy's Jharna Kala Art

Sri Chinmoy's Jharna Kala Art: Kedar Collection II.

Just Another Brush Stroke Travelling along eternity’s path am I Where boundless joy is forever on offer The goal of goals ceaselessly beckons Ever evolving, ever unattainable Yet sleeplessly irresistible. There was a time when I lived Only to reach the Golden Shore Paradise but a distant destination Now I see that my goal surrounds me And heaven is found in every step I take. What a most wonderful play this life is And an incredible miracle the human spirit I never want to reach the end The journey is my wonderland Yet the end is all incentive My heart a magnet towards the goal. How contrary my reasoning is Yet somehow I understand In this masterpiece of God’s creation Just another brush stroke On the canvas of existence I am. - Alesha.
