WELCOME! OH GOLDEN SUN!
Soft and sweet
The Golden Sun
Kisses the Earth
With beautiful smile and vernal mirth.
The blush on the brown -
Speaks of unspoken Bliss
Of infinite mirth.
Poems of the past
Are deciphered -
On pages of the sky
And hues of myriad shades gather around
Speaking of a surrealist Art!
The lone Artist -
Sits unknown
In the limitless Vast.
Blossoms open up petals
In wonder-struck eyes
Fragrance flows far
In amorous Zephyr
Delight's wonderland
Welcomes us in untold ways
The lovely golden and radiant rays!
Wakes up the sleeping life
Of darkness bed,
Gone are struggles and strifes
The New Dawn ahead;
Mind's countless conjectures
Dies the death of the Sphinx
Never to rise again
And devour the mortal longings.
There are lovelier worlds
And brighter heavens than
Our mind could surmise.
The wealthier realm -
Exists in Sun's diadem;
Only can dwell
A steadfast vision -
For the journey ahead
And a mightier foresight
Than our mortal Ken could unravel!
The splendour of the Unknown Bliss
Denied to us;
For its door is closed in mind's -
bottomless Abyss.
There Love plays its lyrec
With unending rhythm,
Unheard to the human ear -
Where Soul-mates can tread,
The Divine rhyme
Forever sublime -
Goes on endless
To lead us ahead;
Makes our heart
Filled with mirth,
Heralds the Dawn -
Of a glorious Birth.
A nascent prescience lurks behind -
the curtain of daybreak
To make us awake.
To listen to the distant call,
An appeal of the Self-rapt soul
Enraptured in celestial embrace
That never parts.
United we breathe,
love and 'are rapture-clad,
The elixir of life -
Embedded in Earth's new soil
and Sun-bathed attire
To make life worthwhile
In her joyous smile,
The long-worn garment -
has already been cast off
In the mire of the past
There must emerge a Beauty
that belongs to the vernal Earth.
The Sun at doorstep:
Not a material Sun-
An embodiment of enlightenment!
His gaze is piercing
Can read pages untorn,
The One Sentinel of life
Keeps watch of every moment
of breath with vigilant foresight.
The vain longings and their earthly desire,
The clinging of the body
In hopeless moments of futile despair
Shuns freedom -
For the Flight to the Unknown!
The Kingdom of God is within us.
Only in moments forlorn -
When we unite
with the living Infinite
Who loves us, greets us
and never makes us feel
"We are out of His Sight".
Makes us one
With Sun and Earth
And all that is HUMAN.
