POEM: Ballad
You are clarity, you are joy
You are light, I am the lightness
You are my doorway, as I pass into the world of being
Friend, mentor, teacher, guide
Inspiration, aspiration, unachievable ambition
But as you merge with me…I stand at the doorway, holding you within me, you are also the one
I can’t see your face or feel your form
But you define existence for me
Wherever you go, whence you point
I will follow, mesmerized
You walk on, always holding out the light
Creating the universe for me to discover as I follow you
And I must run to keep up with the shifting reality that is moving with you
Because the minute you stop….too long
I will step out and away from you
And begone into the world of blinding light but no lightness
Lost to us both
Hey….IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY????? Happy Birthday!!! How does it feel to be thirty? – Am I repeating here? 😉
Wish you the best….and the dosas were awesome.
And you say you question the existence of God!
@ Sense: I question everything.
Hey Idea
have been reading your super work but have been equally super lazy (and also time bound) to comment. but how could i not wish you on B’day!!Oink!! but where has the post gone?
Anyway, hope you have a wonderful B’day! and i really liked the post too.
Step out, and away
Drift up, and afar
Fade out, go astray
Yet the light remains
A black hole for lightness
Have a good year, Smithy..
well,this is a different you…it’s like sheathing one layer after another of the Ideasmithy!
@ Another Women: Like someone else I know said…I’m an onion. 😉
You are light, I am the lightness….
You guys have met!!?!’
Who are the three dogs in the background?
@ Ranjan: We were never apart. The dogs = other distractions like reality.
Oh wow The Hermit with all his light……another chain of relatedness?
