Truths of life
(Poetry)
By Rinchen
 

Goodness prevails there
Where evil looms
Jealousy had its way
When intelligence blooms
Bad scene we witness
When egos clash
Hard it is to cooperate
When fellows are rash
But it’s all designed
For our world so “parallel”
These are the Truths of life
Whose meanings “unparallel”.

When winter comes to us,
Will spring be so far?
When thieves are all around,
Will doors remain ajar?
With dusk coming down,
Will dawn shy away?
When stars go to bed,
Will darkness befall?
Not yet,
The moon still enduring
With his milky treat
These, the truths of life
They found me, when I was in retreat?

Oh! Forget that cloud
And see the silver lining
Not that dark shade
But, that sun shining
Never mind the hot noon
For then comes the mild evening
Just bear that pain of thrust
For only then you will praise water
Oh! Ain’t it so simple?
To discover these truths of life
A smile, A reflection
To know these truths of life.
