From Heaven to Hell

The ocean is the sum of all my tears

And the desert resembles my perched up heart

The sun is but the fire contained in me

And my quiet is a mere column of dust

My heart is like a sea

And like the sea it has a depth

My heart is fashioned like a star

And like Sirius it shines.                   

But I have my shaft of undesirable habits

I love virtues, but I am a sinner inside

I worship truth, but I am a crook

Outside I look like an enlightened being

But I am full of dust and darkness

Eclipsed by deep rotted ego,

I have lost my lustre through boastful utterance

And have gotten engulfed in darkness.

Yet music is still there in the harp

Though it’s strings broken.
