The Grey Lights# 08

☆ – “Immortal…” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

If you can stand up

on the first ray of sun

when you are destroyed

on the last ray of light

 

If you can stand up

as a flowering tree

when you are knocked

down by the flowers

 

If you can gather up

all your courage

blown away by the

harsh winds of reality

 

If you can find

the will to move on

when you see

no road to go on

 

If you can manage

to live on the ground

when your body

is rotting deep underground.

 

Then you will become

one with the many

and be blessed…

blessed with ‘Immortality’.
