Silence

Golden silence? that which really bears no color

The voice of the soul that cuts the noise of the world

The blink of love in a loved one's eyes

A smile of high in the winner's mind

The mother's gentle sigh on her baby's frst cry

The feel of a father's fist on your gleaming feat

The dance of the puddle in the rain beneath your feet

The glistening shine on the serene lake

The pause of an artist after his masterpiece, he makes

Oh how could I just call it Golden,

For the myriad shades, this mesmerizing silence creates!

Cradle

As I lie in the cradle 

Wrapped up in bonds of care and attachment,

Rocking to the lullaby of time 

I breathe with the caress of life.

Vistas of rain or shine, I smile

Terrors of pain or trouble I cry 

The scream that I want to be, of the sound of ecstasy.

That you lift me and wean me off, oh dear one!

This stranded cradle, the karmic cradle.

Diminish

Holding my hand, you have held everything in me

Like a worm, I crawl, willing to be trampled under your lotus feet

To blossom and adorn you.

The dainty curve of your sublime smile 

Bends me further to dance like the

Limber snake and fall into your arms 

Play me around and will I know

the gentle jerk of your divine touch 

Oh my dear one!

With the radiance of your limpid gaze

May I diminish into thin space 

To feel to my brim, the wholeness that you are 

A flashflood of the unknown to me, 

The boundless knowing you are, my dearest!
