I Found You

I met you somewhere my friend;
where the hills hide in mist
where winding roads end in a hermitage
or amidst the chaos of a thriving civilization
where fluttering prayer flags dot the sylvan hillside
where dappled sunlight reaches for the mossy forest floors
where monks meditate in magnificent seclusion.

when the rains swept away a hundred years of drought
when lightning ripped the sky
I know I called your name - and found myself lost in abstraction.

when a thousand stars died
when melodies were born
I know I held your hand - and the scent of burning chandan filled my mind.

I know I found you.

Silence

I can hear the music of silence
Wafting through the valleys of separation
And melting into pools of unspoken words.

Silence kisses the unmoved strings of a lute -
Calms the rippled spirit-lake
It stirs up a thaw in the cold heart of logic
And plays a symphony that stars can hear.

Look within, and take silence with you;
Hear what you have never heard before
Watch the palls of reason lift before your unbelieving eyes
To reveal the light effulgent;
Feel the shower of soft dew in the well of your mind
And sing the song that is written by the soul
On the pages of infinity.

Know yourself, and let silence speak.

My Piece of Eternity

The infinite lies within you in unhindered slumber
Between the soul and the shadow, no ripples rise in the ocean of consciousness;
My thoughts are like birds of cosmic-white plumage,
Wanting to spread across the endless blue of your mind in their grand flight.
Won't you let me swim the depths of your infinite eyes?
Won't you see my spirit rise from the ashes of time?

You are my little piece of Eternity.
In you, I rejoice in the evanescence of my duality.
I desire to cease to exist;
I am not afraid to die, to migrate beyond the temporal
For I will forever live in the open, scented spaces of your being.

You are my little piece of Eternity.

Dreamscape

The rain pours softly
Like a tune long unsung
And paints my dreamscape in overwhelming hues;
I look though my mind's eye,
Into the window of the beyond -
Where the horizons melt into dew and descend upon my being;
Where the soul is pregnant with the seed of immortality -
And there's promise of grander creations.

I feel the space, the nothingness -I see the beginning and end;
I feel love, that makes me weightless, selfless
And urges my spirit to soar
To shores I've never been before,
And to touch a heart in a way I never touched before.

The unravelling of my dreams from the wraps of consciousness;
The demystification of beliefs -
All for the sake of eternity.
This is the story of a timeless journey ... untold.
