Breaking Chains

 

Soul seeks freedom,

Treats body like a cage,

Be it of a saint or a sage,

Peace gets seldom.

 

Desires, ego, attachments,

Lust, fear, allurements,

At times it is very difficult

To act without detachment.

 

Like a bird in prison,

Watching the vast horizon,

Wishing to fly high in the sky,

To go to the real destination.

 

Past being memorable,

Present unacceptable,

Wants to explore oneself,

A new future improbable.

 

What compels you to remain,

In a relationship, in vain,

Better come out of it,

By breaking the chain,

As it only causes pain.

 

From negativity to positivity,

Life is seen as a continuity.
