Inner Realm_ Meditative Trance Poem by Prabir Gayen

Inner Realm
(Meditative Trance)

Thou wert from time immemorial,
As pain or as joy unheeded and unknown,
In the untouched core of my dream,
Thou walkest like celestial light on light,
As dreamy delight thou cometh with fleeting sight,
In my dreamy cognition thou art pain undecided,
Subtle like the tune of an unborn bird,
Plangent like the fall of a mighty star.
Thou art and wert in the dark cover and beyond cover,
The vibration deep and fanciful indeed in my solitary confinement.
Like a sweet guest on my self
thou knocked on the parapet,
and as a host I was asleep finding no one.
Pain and joy like the lightning and thunder,
Thou hid as dream never to meet.
Like the sky enormous and vast before the unlit
Shrine,
Or drowsy chaperone who slept with me and smiled with me in joy and sorrow,
A subtle formless lover.
Thou art and no design can bring thee out of my being,
A mystic dream beyond thrilling sense
of my Mind,
Thou art my secret pain so carefully I adore
In silent celebration of my being,
A cosy embrace of vastness.
Time will pass intothe realm of
eyeless muse of no-thing-ness,
And I will dissolve into the abyss of timelessness with thee in my soul,
The sky will mingle with sky without stir
Like drop of water on the bosom of ocean
and fire mixes with fire.
As a drop of silence or a path of space
We will live as elemental epistle.
