MELODY FROM THE MAGNIFICENT MELANCHOLY
(Bijoylakshmi Das, 6th September 2020)
With the starry sky around and its moon-lit mirth,
Life is joyful in the beautiful Ocean’s melancholic vast;
Melody from the distant woodland’s dreamland bliss,
Awakes me to the ecstasy’s elixir which I do often miss.
The beauty beyond the limits of earthly mud and mire,
The incessant urge to touch the unflickering flame of the mystic Fire;
The horizon afar is clad with the transcendent twilight kiss,
The fragrance of the flowering blossoms seems to be heavenly slendour-rich.
Life upon Earth is a prelude to the Eternity’s epiphany beyond,
To make living worthwhile forgetful of pleasure and pain in its each and every second;
In Wisdom’s wide lap to finally retire and lay asleep,
Only to wake up in a profound awakening, vernal and deep.
The elfin delight is a masquerade of the elysian Grace,
The night’s dark hours often conceal the nearing Dawn’s brightening break;
The ravished rapture does roam on reverie’s forgotten shore,
Oh Mortal Dear! I’m no more captive to your futile mansion’s emerald door,
The little physique left behind, the Spirit within flies to the soaring heights high,
To reach the Unknown region’s deep-hidden Felicity in the Illimitable sky;
Escapes into the forbidden realm of the rhapsody recondite,
I’m a lone traveller of the unique journey with formidable foresight.
All around here is delusion, man has lost the way in Illusion’s paradise,
Values utterly lost in vanity and glamour’s fake ascending sunrise;
The mundane eyes are sun-blind to envision the Invisible beyond,
All longings are now soil-bound, the Unknown never to respond.
The journey of the Soul is always alone with indefatigable toil,
The timeless Infinite lurks behind the all-surpassing Vast, never to recoil;
The onward march will not retrace the footsteps trodden in the past,
Life not confined to the little confinement; it is an amazing all-expanding Vast.
We never depart and the Creation never leaves you too.
“As you sow, so you reap”, you have to get whatever is due to you;
Be a worthy participant in Nature’s ever-repeating perpetual Playact,
Leave not a stone unturned, do fulfill your human role in your new supreme Birth.
