Limited by power of eyesight,
Lies the horizon,
An optical illusion,
Where the earth meets the sky.
The twains do never meet ,
Illusion separates reality,
Of Light here, Darkness there,
Outstrip they cannot each other.
Divinity spins the horizon,
From the setting Sun, in West,
To the rising Sun, in East,
Reflecting Life here, Life there…
The boldness of Vision,
Humbles the power of eyes,
Our hearts converse with Him,
Our Mind forsees the Beyond.
The cycle of existence,
A marvel, a stunner, a delight,
From umbrage to effulgence, and, from,
Hope of lambency to fall of gloominess.
Nature affirms the Reality,
Doubts disquieting, render,
The seen , as, Illusion,
And Faith reaffirms the Unseen.
A Life that ends now and here
A Life that begins later and there,
A light between two darknessess,
Or, A darkness betwixt two Lights?
Mind conjures images,
Of Hell and Heaven,
The mind envisions,
The heart rents asunder.
Twilight years and beyond,
Visualise the coming moments,
Light is day, Dark is night,
Between this, is life crepusule.
Physical self bathed in darkness,
Conjoins the glistening Soul,
Attired in glowing Light, they
Cohabit in peace of acceptance.
The Beauty in Nature extols,
In Praise of The Creator,
To whom, I belong, and
To Whom, you belong.
Man’s ingratitude gnaws ,
The Soul, unremitting, instead,
Isn’t a prostration of Submission,
The Best expression of gratitude?
O! Lord, The Creator, The Merciful,
Remove the demons of illusion,
Fill us with Light of Faith,
Unfold before us, The Reality.
We shall return to Roots,
Is Faith instilled deep, obscure.
We orbit, we oscillate, for now,
Smiling in gloaming years….
