Enlightenment~~






a falling leaf,
   a whiff of air,
the soft mildew of the monsoon
    the mellowed sun-light
the bright Sun flowers
       the azure sky in moody spell....
    Such scenes are always
               on the horizon--
                  glittering!

     Life is nothing but to 
               know
                           feel
                                  experience 
      A presence
            that mysteriously 
    lingers 'in absence'-
        His presence IS ...
                   ....more real than our body!

 I sit beneath the lap of nature
   .....lift my eyes ~ heavenward,
and I envision in my mind . . 
      A God, who nurtures and sustains all 
               folded in a time trap!

 The sky's opalescence soothes
Ahead a plane swims into afternoon light...

    Such sitting at the feet of nature and that Mystery beyond the traps of being--such sitting is a huge joy, a letting go, letting awarenesses drop in and out, each a blessing. What a marvelous poem where form and content merge.
