‘Realms of existence’: Poem by Dhruvika Jain, Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg, Jalandhar

Realms of existence

Trekking the waves, I left on the shore
I realized a shape of this dome
Meandering with the hands curled
An arch of sorrow
Then, I move to travel a window
A window, a portal to another world
Where outside meets inside and dreams unfurl
A gateway to the world beyond
Where happiness and sadness roundly abound
Then I felt a wave coming on to me
Travelling through the woods,
I found a tree
A tree of experience flapping with dark colored bark
Joy of pain and sorrow
A tree has acquaintances a lot.
Then I decided to trek with water
A solitary handbag of ours,
Transparent and crystal clear,
It shows us the honesty

This human world is deficient of
The human world too, 

With its diverse kinds,
I’ve experienced it all

With an open heart and mind
In every realm I’ve been, I’ve found beauty and wonder
And a sense of purpose 

That fills my soul with thunder
