Fulfilment

Fulfilment

Every life is well spent
Only when it is characterized by joy
Joy is a state of calmness
Which world’s wildest rage cannot comprehend

Life doesn’t care about you
It’s a moving train without control
People jump in and jump out
Like dauntless soldiers who care little nor worry about their lives

The speed of the locomotive
Is enough to run scorpions into your brain
However, the fear is only a mirage
Which cannot hurt the busy focus bee

My mind is my weapon
Grace is my succor
I can only be hindered by the brake pads of my mind
The laws of gravitational pull cannot restrain a ready mind

I will not allow a needle
To pierce the sac that holds my joy
Joy is the fulfilment
That confirms my life is well spent

The Spirit endorses my action
Tells me which way to go
Until at last I arrive
At such a place where I am meant to be
To fulfil the blueprints of the Masterpiece
That holds the perfect picture of eternity
