A Breath Away...
You may rise -
Beyond the skies
Gather wealth -
Muster stealth
Walk towards perfection-
Run away from rejection
Share a smile-
Look inwards for awhile
Burn with hate-
For someone’s status, color, race or body shape
Enjoy your sleep-
Hike up a mountain peak
Shower love-
Be thankful for the supreme power above
Drown in heart ache-
Swim ashore as you have faith
Wander in a forest of jealousy-
Establish a legacy
Whatever you choose...
Whichever side you sway ...
Just remember - THE END-could be just A BREATH AWAY....

Infinity goes out,
and goes in.
Strenching out towards the stars,
And inwards within.
The universe is vast,
and so are we.
There is no place we've never been,
And no place we will never be.
All the things out there,
are already inside of me.
The most important thing right now is this moment,
So embrace it.

Bereft beyond contemplation,
still do impoverished
memories still falter.
And every petal that
lacerates within
inclines while scaring inward.
The blossom that you gave me,
soils slowly. Soon I will have
just the decaying perfume to linger on.

Shallow depths sink
wayward thoughts.
But the corpses of butterflies
still collapse inwards,
as the reaper collects dead imprecations.
Burying them deeper
so never to be exhumed.

Unblemished notions were
reflected inwards,
but inside they're contorted
beyond my perception of right.
I blemish this portrait of perfection
till only smudges gaze within my sight.

Prelude
"Let's go" his soft whisper
the mantra, in his voice she hears
the esoteric voyage through
the cryptic high seas of self,
fathomless, unmapped,
uncharted and reachable
only by the most fearless
ready to unbind and make
the self free for it's adventure,
begins thus for the peaceful pair
complementing the absolute
for a life time, til they reach there
and find themselves one with
pure consciousness.
"Let's let's, but only together"
she chants in unison,with him.
1.
Bidding good bye to ego, clad in red and black
a beast, not easy to bring to it's knees, submit,
the high horse proud,raring to go,having sharp horns
sticking out, fierce, that goes berserk,on seeing white.
Altogether a curious construct, that dictates terms-
they set about, invoking the blessing of the flame of light.
2
They stood together, eyes widely shut, bringing
both palms together,in front of their chests
creating a lotus bud, symbolizing hearts,bowing
each other in "Namaste",-bows the divinity in thyself-
chanting the mantras of peace, thrice, each time, repeatedly.
3
"Lets go back to the begining of every begining.."
the primordial hum, transcending quagmires of time
in the path of our ancestors,who did see the" unseeable",
without eyes, knew the "unknowable",diving in to the
ocean depth of self,going inwards chanting"Neti, Neti"
Not this, Not this, inquiring each till the essence did reveal.
4
They did this, focusing the eye of the mind, on the eye
beyond all, that watches every small thing in universe.
Mind, sharpened like the blade of a sword,efficient to cut
the Gordian knots,of paradox, duality and illusion,
encountering the silence that thickens at last, speaks
the words of wisdom,patient they are, to know the ultimate,
right there at the source of light that is the true essence of all,
5
Celebrate the pure consciousness, that pervades in every thing,
the thought that begets all thoughts,that moves on to be karma,
that becomes purer, through the cycles of lives, one after another.
"Let's be humble, utmost, sans the ornamental clothes of pride.
May the thought reigning cosmos, the spirit of peace,chanted aloud,
take us to it's sanctum sanctorum and melt us in to it's divine embrace.
Only one there is, all are it's integrals,the divine cosmic hum 'Aum'
that enliven the universe within each cell, remember , is eternal"
