THE RIVER FLOWS IN YOU (Bijoylakshmi Das) (1) The Creation is the beginningless Whole, It has no end too, It is like the most beautiful river That flows within me and you. (2) The rapturous call of the beatitude beyond To the land of timeless peace, The melancholy of the mystic murmur heralds the infinite woodland bliss. (3) The amazing notes from stupendous heights Breathe life in listless hours, The hierarchy of ascending marvel unleashes Heaven’s healing showers. (4) The river flows within you, Listen to its silent rhapsody’s rhyme; Earnest to meet Eternity In its quest pure and sublime. (5) The world Artist paints on the canvas His unique archetypal curve. Where the new meets the old And the decrepit does dissolve. (6) The one Alone deciphers the Destiny In celestial clairvoyant notes, When devils cite the scripture To meet the vilest purpose. (7) All is done by the One Will Who sits immobile above, His Love is infinite, His Compassion even is beyond His Love. (18th June 2021)
