Cosmic silence.
Its calm, healing touch.
Saddled with
An unwanted shrub inside
The brimming mind
Not always aware 鈥�
It鈥檚 more fond of a flower
Redolent of first love
Or, the funeral scene of a close one
Remaining as the residue
After a cyclone
With nobody to share 鈥�
A flower鈥檚 life
May or may not begin with a price
For the smile of a mind,
A lifeless stone or a metal vase
Retains the rest
Till the gradual waning of the flower
With all its aroma, at the creator鈥檚 behest
The silence of an unknown moment
That makes all of a sudden
Everyone鈥檚 familiar world alien
Perhaps portends another slot
An unknown sphere
Of endless emptiness 鈥�
May be oneness with
The mystic cosmic serenity
With no second choice,
No scope for duality.
