--Aloneness-- Poem by Prabir Gayen

Aloneness

I am only for me and my self,
Self means Joy unto The Self,
I am not for you and not for others,
Everybody is an island.

I am alone and I live alone,
The alone-ness is the only Truth,
No society is enough for the Self,
Self means to be in inner stillness.

Only the observer is the object
to be known and observed,
Others are always the Other End,
Other End always remains the Same.

Life in a deep sense 'the rabbit hole',
No one is enough to hug the other,
The others are always the others,
No religion is there to be universal.

Only the ego finds the sense
of compassion and service,
Service in the deep knowing cleaves
the chasm of ego conceit.

Everybody in the world lives in a cave,
Separate cave of heart with deep dream,
The world is a chain of dreams
and all the loved ones are false in the end.

No one is alive and reverberant
Two rivers flowing through
opposite forest never meet,
Life gives false sense of affinity.

Love connects the world
and the hearts are the mirrors,
No heart is alive to be beyond Time,
Love and heart are keen to work
With the fresh dew of aloneness.

Only in the stillness of mind,
In the deep state of silence,
Celibacy of mind happens,
Celebration is the song of solitariness.
