Mystery of a Soul


Mystery of a Soul

i was surprised
as a sparkling star
resplendent with the
fierce energy of Rudra
snow balled
into my outstretched palm.
it rolled onto grass
and grew into a beauty

eyes closed
meditatively I presumed
laughter arose
gray moon chuckled
derisively
at a
decidedly inane
assumption

to right
the sun and to left
the moon
rose simultaneously
in her mudra palms
casting an enchanting
spell on this
ignorant observer

fragrance from 3000 years
ago. who is she -
the perfumed vapors
rose
as a question
and ignited in a blue
flame; she slowly
adsorbed its’ dance

effulgent skin
now with a form and now
without there
emerged a quantum
conundrum
what exactly could I know
about her? before,
now or the here after?

the wind she blew
turned the moon blue
amazed as she
spoke, “come!”
the moon, a finger tip
away, a doubt
arose if she was real!
appeared a red diamond!

no matter how hard
i tried
it remained a stone
gentle breeze
with a familiar fragrance
blew and it whispered
bring me back here
tomorrow.

An Abstruse Symbol

And I wish this was a dream a cherished dream come true. And as I think this thought I also knew the real is never the conceptual. The dream , a world without a practical consequence, a word, a thought under erasure. Does it hurt to think and dream, a world where nothing is a sin, where nothing begs for forgiveness, where I create myself and immediately dissolve before time, the hunter tracks me down and nails me, puts me down under a selective square of a parody of what I made of me. an abstruse symbol, a watery grave where everything flows , nothing is held. And in the very moment of saying this I know, how I yearn to create a body, a body that I could call You, a body, a You that will give me a name, a name that will never be erased Shared privately • View activity The Cloberth +1 Food for thought.

Horse Sacrifice : Significance Tighe, Sushama, Sheikha

  The universal significance of horse-sacrifice: 'ashwamedha' in Vedas: "We mortals who owe our Self to Time are performing a sacrifice ceaselessly. The Dawn (Usha) is the head of the sacrificial horse ; the Sun his eye, the wind his breath; his open   mouth the universal Fire (Agni), and Time, measured by our human parameter as year is the body of the sacrificial horse; the sky his back, the atmosphere his belly, the four quarters his ribs, the seasons his limbs, the half months and months his joints, days and nights his feet, the stars his bones, the clouds his flesh."

  . I was like a sleeping sea. You woke me up and the storm blew through. I shake my waves, I sink my ships; I climb to the sky and punish stars... I'm ashamed and hide between my folds, I go crazy and kill my fish. Don't look at me with fear... You wanted it... Alfonsina Storni
