Eternal Dream
A dream soaked in light of fragrant sparks embedding my spirits and essence –throws open boundaries of time and space –to drench me wet in hues of vitality
The flushed lotuses adrift in green lake ignited by magical lamps; their wicks aglow in rhythmic energy; golden coral cerulean mingle in infinity
Swaying with September night breeze, shadowed by timeless chinars, cracking by twitter of a startled wing, placidity pulsates beneath the water – sprinkled with unseen reflections haunting vastness of dark
eyelids tingle to waking up all around – yet orbs suffused with opacity of the dream, dense threads snuggled with optic nerves, golds deep blues raking my retina petal by petal, quark by quark
The dream gratifying taste buds crystal by crystal; swirling in mouth; tantalising the throat – soft on tympanum and sharp on the twang of sitar –an entity of the whole in meditative phase – the dream melts entropy yet never ends, neither dies.
a flute note by a mountain brook, a woolly lamb rummaging cobbled trail – a lilt interwoven with silence of caves – a boundless cascade distilling mist – stillness of green woods crackling by fireflies
Splendid with galaxies that blaze my mortal time path, polymorphic; fragrant in summers, dripping in monsoon, detached in autumn, snowy in winters – the dream blooms on eternity’s branch, born with the birth of first star.
