Goodness, Passion, Darkness

by Michael Charles Messineo — Read all 96 poems by Michael Charles Messineo

Inspired from my trip to Pune, India, and from the Mahabharata.
Thanks to Vasu & Lalita.

Sattwa, Rajas, Tamas,

Goodness, passion, darkness.

Three levels of life itself.

Religion, Wealth, Pleasure,

Past, present, future.

Diverse paths toward the same ending.

Joyous, painful, forgiving,

Remembering, foresight, reliving.

All paintings of life’s reflection.

Sunrise, sunset, twilight,

Ignorance, conviction, incite.

Expression of your life is your art.
