On the golden hued celestial canvas ,
With a purplish tinge,
Darkness deepened
A strange stillness
Intensifying,
Our trail of conversation.
Oh! that first glimpse
Like never before …
A soulful spectacle indeed!
Across the expansive mountains
In the splendid rays of moonlight…
Words
Descended……
In glorious magnificience..
Enrapturing,
With love profound…
Now beyond control…
Like the wind..
Rustling through the trees
Or the frail tuft of grass…
His Omnipresence ,a vision divine,
Quenched I my thirst..
At the source of eternal beauty…
Everything lay changed now..
Incredible vivacity,
Illimitable sky,
Pristine realisation
And nothingness
Eluding..merging
In the reflection of
Words.
