THE LISPING LIPS OF LOVE
(Bijoylakshmi Das, 30th May 2020)
There is an endless ecstasy,
The immortal opens its door of Eternity;
Its divine solicitude -
Implores me to merge into Bliss’ infinity.
The exalted euphoria of Heaven’s elixir,
The rainbow-rapt mirth in the distant Zephyr,
The call of the Unknown from the long-lost Felicity,
The new revelation of the fortuitous identity,
The silent killing of the self-esteemed ‘I’ in me.
There you sit alone and rule sovereign,
The Monarch of the solemn solitude’s King.
With azure mirth all around,
Creation is the most beautiful play ground;
The vibrating mellifluous notes
Which in the argent air float.
It seems as if Infinity is imprisoned in the
Finite human being.
Full of Compassion and all the best.
The moment’s most momentous touch –
From the land of the Sublime,
Sings songs of celestial rhyme.
The all-pervading Vast adores Thee,
In your pure and sacred spirit free;
Blossoms from the Kingdom of Beatitude
Make life anew,
With innumerable hue;
To roam in the freedom of Soul:
The choicest destiny man could ever behold.
The soft whisper in your breath
Which Creation breathes into every life’s depth,
To make it afresh
The mortal living,
But epoch-making;
But not for vain frolicking!
Though we seem to belong to the World
And take it as our own,
The World never belongs to you,
You are the Absolute, all alone.
You aspire for enlivenment
Which always will renew -
Midst innumerable hue.
The New World Order is only for the choicest few,
Not for the idle, not for Man-monster;
The One Will of the Supreme Master!
It is not for any playful pastime,
Oblivious of the unique exemplary Rhyme.
For, each life counts
In the eyes of the Sublime.
Do rejoice
In the unseen Grace
Only in caring and sharing.
All are tiny specks of pollen
Dropped from starry golden Blossoms of -
The flawless firmament divine.
Sweet are thy notes,
Sweet is the Symphony;
Sweet are your moon-clad rapture,
Soft is the Rhapsody.
Let the little “I” in me
Forever merge into the limitless Vast in Thee,
In the most magnificent majestic Harmony.
