ritty patnaik - entangled knot

i know
a entangled knot,
will never open,
like a mind with
plenty of thoughts,
filled with ego,
and adamant, and
a combination of attitude.

who can say,
what formed the knot,
in the mind.
why the water gets dirty,
or why a flower has insects.
why does the mirror gather dust,
or the mist covers the sun
when it is rising.

unquestionable question!
priceless puzzle of creation.
this knot, of ego and attitude,
is found in complexed people
behind whom is a intolerant mind,
not ready to accept, the good of others,
who dont understand the joy of love,
and the peace of giving.

a gesture of love,
kind words
can unwind the net of illusion,
and let the inner quality of soul
shine through the shroud
of ego and attitude.

a ego sharper,
than sharpnells, which break
many hearts,
is tired and wornout,
yet the knot remains!
