How To Conquer Heaven (A Poem Of Inspiration) Poem by Arun Maji

none is brave
until passion penetrates pulsating heart.
brain is all talk, no action.
it tells you eloquently
what can't be done in hundred ways!
but heart?
it just does it, does it silently.

see the sky?
there's your freedom.
go, get it.

wings will never be ready enough.
but won't you fly?
it's not wings that stop you flying
it's your absence of love in flying.

if you love flying
you would try fly, even without wings.
what worst?
you would break your bones!
isn't that better than dying and decaying
while living?

we live far away from joy
because of our fear.
we never let love
carry us to that unknown heaven
where flows "Freedom River".

freedom equals joy.
a chained bird
never sings song of a dancing river.
if she sings
she would sing song of despair.

let love carry you everywhere.
she is your mother, soft and tender.
who else can support you more
than your own mother?

to love you surrender
heaven you conquer.
