BY MAYA GREEN
The Earth, this great Earth
Is to be trodden together
Let’s do it in fair weather
And under clouded skies
It ain’t matter
Through tempestuous seas
Of the mind and the sweet moments
Of the calm repose
This world of light,
Is for us to savour all the sights’ delights
The luminescence seen
In the morning’s dews
Or in the flickering wings of the dove
In the gentle embers by the fireside
In the eve
In the dance of the northern lights
Or on the sweat in the lover’s forehead
This Earth is a whole ocean
Of sensations and experiences
Within your own bubble of light
So my friend, just feel the vibes,
Be ye reenergised,
Your spirit awakened, your senses quickened
Run through the fields and meadows
With abandonment
And proclaim: “Alive, alive! I am! “
So, my friend, do not weep,
Do not give in to grief
Wipe that trace of sadness from your eyes,
Replace it with tears of gratefulness
Why do you let a tear drop
To spoil the whole ocean
Yes, that whole ocean
Of wondrous loving experience?
Why cast a shadow
on this World of Light?
But do not hold on too tightly
Not to this world
The beholder of all the beauty
Is not here to stay
Yes, indeed this World of Light
is made for you, to savour
But just be the conscious traveller
Ever present in the moment
And enjoying the varied vistas
Savour that moment of recognition
In the eyes, and the many faces
That you have been destined to meet
Know, and accept, that this is
Your mandatory, but a temporary stopover
O just a wink’s sojourn, in the whole scheme of things
So go ye faithfully forward
Let faith be your rod
And may peace be your companion
Yes go on — onward to the Final Abode
Be like the raindrop, always yearning for the ocean
In taking its arduous journey in stride
Visiting the blue mountains, running down the rolling hills
Slow jogging through the middle plains
Taking a leisurely walk on the flatlands
To the estuarine, the meeting place
Knowing fully well that at the meeting
Yes, the much awaited reunion
will take place
And, at that moment
The bliss of reunion is all that matters:
Peace, peace, peace at last!
