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.
