The Journey Of The Soul...! Poem by Vidya Pandarinath

The day shines and is all bright
As the glorious sun beams a smile lazy; The winter day so comly and cosy
Prompts the soul for a divine flight

The land, the desert and the sea
Stretch their arms one across the other;
The wide wings readily do smother
With all the intent and gusto to fly free


Soaring into the heights It saw infinity;
Yet were there no traces of disorder;
Perfection worked even on the galaxy border;
And all spheres kept up the bonded affinity


There was a return and a diving deep
Down into the depths of the roaring water;
The nadir was a show of the scattered quarter;
Even here were tides intact and neap.


Then the soul jumped out to reach back
The abode it had left: mere debris and sludge
Divulged all arround, everything with smudge
Nothing had retained the form or lively stack


Fuming cold flames and cool, serene air
Now were rising up from the surface brown
As the fervent traveller in wonder looked down
In surprise and shock at the dubious flare


All journey, thought the soul, ends at the goal
Where nothing real, is gained nor lost in rife;
Form and fire do and undo the cycle called life;
Time to eternity runs to merge with the whole.
