Without poetry and art
I'd not know how to heal
my broken heart

Somewhere
beyond the horizon
lies a world so vast
I know it is the source of all.
.
There, in the light of a hundred suns
the constellations still shine
and the midnight skies glow
a soft phosphorescence.
.
There, in the lake of sunset
blooms a thousand petaled lotus
and the faeries carve an opal
into a crescent moon.
.
Often in that realm
I free fall
and surrender
to his golden embrace.

Like the water
in a river
people
are meant to
touch our lives
briefly
and flow their way.

But some people
patiently
cut through
the rocky obstacles
in your life
and teach you
to flow

~Hershey

The little space
within my heart
is as vast as the universe
there lies an ocean of cosmic water
and into its unfathomed depths
I free dive.

You are a shiny drop of water
amongst billions of other drops
in the ocean of my life.
If you leave
and I start drying up
the rivers and the rains
will fill me up again
but if you still leave,
leave to reach the heavens
and condense into a cloud
to rain on the scorched land
and leave behind a sweet petrichor.

You are a beautiful shell
amongst thousands of other shells
adorning the ocean of my life.
If you leave
and my palaces look dull
the molluscs will make more shells
but if you still leave
leave to reach the beach
on a sunny day
and bring a smile
on the face of the person
who finds you.

In me, the infinite ocean,
winds of the mind
bring myriads of arks
of cosmic creation
that float here and there;
The sun and the moon
cause tides that ebb and flow
to bring me both joy and sorrow,
but I remain unaffected.
I am That, in which the universe
appears like waves in the ocean.
And so are you.

At dawn
I ask the moon
to breathe into me
and set my mind free.
then the stars
shine in my heart

.

waves of thoughts
create storms
but I stay very still
why worry?
I am the ocean.
Silence is my rendezvous.
