MY ETERNAL FRIEND

[vijay nikore]

                        MY   ETERNAL   FRIEND

 

 

Deluded as ever, I seek the one inevitable primordial sleep

but in ignorance of Self, 'mind's eye' can look only so deep

There the dark is darker than darkness, there is no beacon

Deep in centre I feel a thud, though there is no new reason.

 

My 'Eternal Friend', though about your ways I often wonder

Yet you are the only "Real", I know it in complete surrender

In times of need, you know my need, now you are my need

Tired of fleeting pleasures, with folded hands to you I plead.

 

There is this mind trapped within, and a mind there beyond

Lips have spoken all they can, and eyes seen all they want

Make this vision pure with effulgence and glimpse of Thee

Release me now of this bondage and let this prana be free.

An internal chatter, external noise, my mind needs a balance

Affairs of this world now enchant me not, it is time for silence

Unspoken sound of Oum heralds this silence I have no doubt

Beckons the 'eternity' within to merge into the eternity without.

 

In That silence, rests the speech there is beyond the speech

sound  beyond sound, and light beyond any brightest of light

Merge my being in this soundless, part-less supreme Reality

My Eternal Friend, grant me this, I shall ask no more of Thee.

Respected Vindu  ji:

 

// My 'Eternal Friend', though about your ways I often wonder...voice of my heart also //

 

It is heartening to hear you resonate with my sentiments in the poem. Yes, after all the name and fame and accolades, the real peace is only in the inner silence that merges in HIM, like a natural passion, without trying.

 

Thank you for your appreciation.

 

Regards.

Vijay
