Detached action is bliss: A decastich

Decastich

A ten-line poem is called a decastich. It is a sort of a sonnet variation of 10 lines instead of usual 14 lines. The term is used for any poem composed of ten lines, with or without a formal rhyme scheme.

Here is a decastich on 'detached action' as messaged in the Bhagavad Gita

We walk a path, a silver thread,

Where sunlit days and shadows spread.

Our hands must work, our hearts must feel,

But not to own what time reveals.

Like rivers flowing to the sea,

We act, yet strive for liberty.

We plant the seed, we watch it grow,

Then let it bloom, and let it go.

For in the doing, clear and bright,

A quiet bliss, a peaceful light.
