IN SOLEMNITY’S DEPTH
(Bijoylakshmi Das)
(Published in Speaking Tree Website of Times of India)
Blue of the vast endless stretch before me,
The mystery of the miracle is on play in the azure sea;
The euphoria of the enlivening welcome makes my mortal eyes closed,
The Bliss of the blessedness of the depth seeks an outlet to rise above.
Though there is storm in the air, tumultuous turbulence in the tide,
Mind knows not why in the sublime silence longs to reside;
The mirthful dance of lightening all around, but I sleep sound in solitude’s arcane depth,
The hurricane’s heavenly delight showers its illimitable celestial Grace.
The invisible Architect’s flamboyant poignant appeal,
To man in distress lost in the cobweb of his self-made peril;
The Omnipotent sits within, always calm, unperturbed and tranquil,
In my quiescent quest’s masquerade I meet my Beloved’s most solemn appeal.
The slow tread of the invisible Infinite alights upon Earth,
To wipe out all disharmony in Creation in its wrathful mirth,
Affranchised from the empire of Elysian heights the One Touch is ever vibrant-
With Love’s limitless Bounty, gifts of faith and certitude pure and sacrosanct.
The prodigious future foretells its fortuitous aeonic rise,
To cradle the golden future in its new awakening’s surrealist sunrise;
The roaring heights of the waves reveal Nature’s magnificent rendezvous,
The Infinity seeks the finite to enthrall in its endazzling hue.
The ephemeral’s earnest aspiration to embrace the Eternity’s solace vast,
The mortal’s primeval quest to reach the unreachable Immortality at last;
The revival’s resurgence reverberates in the new resurrection’s rise,
Evolution never traces backward despite man’s frailties and fake surmise.
Every life is a Blossom in the Spring-spangled Paradise of the One unique Whole,
Awake and arise from the stupor of Ego, O Man, do recognize your divine Goal.(28th Nov 2020)
