Grieve Not

A thousand and one dreams
We harbour in our minds.
We know how hard it seems,
As life unwinds.

What we desire,
Sometimes doesn't happen.
It is good for fire,
But not for our spirits to dampen.

There is no such thing as sorrow,
Everything is a lesson.
If it had happened that way
It certainly had a reason.

'Sochitumarhasi'*, friends.
We live in an unreal world.
Everything here is a lie,
The only truth is love.


*- a phrase from the Bhagavad Gita which means 'grieve not'.
