...Purnamadah Purnamidam...... Poem by Sarvesh Kulkarni

...Purnamadah Purnamidam......

Rating: 5.0


The entire cosmos,
expresses its being
in each of its wondrous entities.

Each speck,
perfect in its own,
yet forms an incomplete picture.

Each whole,
accumulates its being
and sparks in the smallest crevice...

...in this world,
where the one splits into many
and the many gathers itself in one uniformity.
