I am that, my mind, one beyond words
yet can be touched by words deep.
I am that, o mind, yonder craving senses
but can be sought by the same ,unsleep.
I can't be expressed still I try to write
I can't be felt yet I cry at night,
till I see the pure light with ears
and hear Aum with infinite tongues.
Oh dear dot ! What can you be?
A maverick mark on wall else white
or a mole on a freedom seeking kite?
What will you see in this life?
Maybe deck atop a line unbent
and make it the greatest letter on earth
Else adorn the mistress delicate brow,
and let men sing songs as they grow.
Go forth my dear, into ravens as a pebble
befriending gusty winds and chilling rains.
Settle, o comrade, in this mansion large
part of a portrait, unseen, with a heavy price.
Hark! World is all yours to claim
live as you will, sans concern for any line
cross them, cut them or join them.
Earth is yours and everything that is above.
I saw him first beneath the blue moss,
a white tear fearless and pure amidst vast sky,
untouched by this world's malicious hands
a sight of life and a symbol of pure joy.
He gazed at me with love or so I thought,
and I let myself to him in complete submission.
As he drank my life and world throughout
merrily I sang lullaby on forever union.
Lo! He grew big and I shrinked unnoticed
he laughed at his volume and colour new.
A new silvery black like a mountain unattached,
he stood majestic over me thru the morning dew.
Alas! At night, he went fast away
up at the hill amongst trees tall and wild.
He lost himself and gave me at mere wind's sway.
while here I laid -silent, hurt and cold.
I cried at silent nights to fireflies glowing
for he left me incomplete and bitter.
Sun rose unperturbed by my wails at night, signalling
dawn of new story and to have no bother.
Behold!! My tears made me complete again,
I am a lake that was and is still pure
for the key was sought in vain,
door is never locked as I am always free and alone.
Mother, don't pester me to look at stars
for I was there amidst their light once
so close as you are to me on this skyward stairs,
built with golden dreams to reach their presence.
I flew once at night when world was asleep
with wings weightless pampered by winds wild,
into the sky that was deep as my mind
and rested my heavy head on star's warm lap.
Now, I came down where boundaries exist,
like a stunted deer caged in a golden maze.
I can't gaze at stars for they seem distant
nor can I smile here for this is a mere mirage.
I flew once
And I can't rest now.
Brick by brick.
I build this stairs.
As the mighty sun recedes
behind the hills dark and silent villages
despite wails of helpless trees ,
I sit still with silent resignation at end of play.
I close my eyes in fear of darkness
that descends with malicious laughter
"Why leave me alone in this sacrificial altar?
Where plans crumble into dust for no reasons"
I opened my eyes at the loving caress if wind
And lo! I find the sun bright as ever breaking ,
shackles of clouds that are never strong.
There sun rises again in a bright new world.
Oh dear mind! travel not unto the path
where name you tag for every hue,
in this beautiful life vibrant with no dearth.
Winds humming, trees dancing to melody known to few.
Words!! an insufficient mirror to feelings deep
that start from a place where few reach.
Deep inside beyond the mist of sorrows that creep
a valley with clear water running in each.
Joy in child's chuckle or rainbows bent supple
can never be in silo known to you, dear mind.
The love that swells from valley's pure end
neither can be described nor can other's see.
Oh this world! Coloured with dark black
each judging another and deciding for brother,
no light they saw in their place of slack
Lord!! bad overpowered good in this mind's slaughter.
Falcon no longer is listening to master
and master busy with musings of past clear
there she is wandering for a sense of purpose
in the realms of skies, infinite light once.
Behold! there at a distance a twinkle
a lonely star looked up from the black veil.
Falcon flew towards light cool and gentle
master awakened by his bird's happy call.
The star didn't come to save Falcon
nor Falcon to beseech her master to her presence.
Star rose to live by night far from clamor and din
Falcon spread her wings for true love's essence.
Master joined his Falcon in flight happy
while star disappeared into the infinite sky,
there master and falcon fly forever in joyous union
light emanating from the lustrous bodies in unison.
