Richness
With loss
I am not poor.
With richness
I am not rich.
My intellectual attire
When it becomes a perception
Makes me stand among the crowd
And still find myself.
The content soul when it speaks
It is the happiest sunrise
Of eternity.
The humanity, grief, tough life
They all make a struggle awake.
The journey to begin is like a flower
Growing in the way to salvation.
Mind that matters
Isn’t a worried moon.
She is destined to shine even in the dark
And stand out.
