I Enquired
I said,
"I remembered you.",
But Iater thought
"Did I really need to do that?",
Since I get you inevitably
Being picturised
On the screen of my brain!
□
Soul and Body
You
Would find me
Where
You are!
[Though
I might appear
Here
To external eyes]
□
Gogyohka
The heart finds the door to reach
Through its own truthfulness to love
Through its selflessness to adore
It needs not to behold the one it worships
It gets the one beyond the physical!
□
The enlightenment
Like a stream wandering
Broken of the river
The spirit whole and sole, wanders
Broken of the form
Wanders but not lost
Proclaims its search
Its search for what it wanders:
The glimpse
The light
The being
The enlightenment
Beyond the physical!
