mukti !!!

1.
It was the hour before dawn
The waking ear of nature
Heard her steps,
Trees were performing
A rain dance,
Clouds
Hovered over the woods
And washing the dirty paths,
The lights of jugnu
Were shining all around
Her luminous smile
Scattered all the way

2.
It was me
The minuscule
Enjoyed the fight
Between The darkness of Amavashya
And the supernal beam,
Gradually
It engulfed the darkness
Ah! The glorious dawn
Before the natural dawn
My eyes were too mite
To see the glittering gesture
And all what it did…….

3.
My ears
Were drinking the intoxicating
Sounds of dhak
And
The waves of conches
Kept me awake
from my deep sleep.
I,
The formless stupor
Without my dirty mind
Felt the shower of ambrosia all around

4.
I have seen the broken
Barrier in between,
Enjoying the
Transparency all around
in my abode.
Flabbergasted
For I felt the cosmos
in the depth of my core

5.
Mukti!
What I need, O! maa
I am yearning for it.
I am crying to taste
the elixir of life…
mukti
From fear,
And the very Desire,
From lust, and greed
Grant it to me
The only thing I need……..
