Did you ever observe a burning earthen lamp
It has so much into it.
Its seriousness, its perseverance, the enlightenment,
yet the darkness beneath it.
Did you ever observe it?
It burns the same way but where it burns
makes the difference.
Did you ever observe it?
When it burns in a temple form dawn to dusk
It conveys an aura- An aura of dedication,
that one can simply feel the purity of devotion,
peace for the restless mind engaged in various
ambiguities of ambition.
Did you ever observe it?
When it burns on the side of the road,
It brightens our focus about-
How and where to move on.
Success and disappointments are inevitable,
Yet, someway we require to keep walking on.
For there are many milestones and experiences
to achieve on.
Did you ever observe it?
When it burns in front of a new widow,
It conveys a sudden loneliness, some broken dreams,
some desires which are not going to get fulfilled ever.
An abrupt end, an unwilling start....which is yet to begin.
Did you ever observe it?
When an earthen lamp burns it has so much into it.
