The Light Within

Mystifying silence within

the prayers, the sounds of drums and bells

the claps of devotees, the chants of priests

the feeling of coming home

on the edge of a river bank

tender, cool breeze on my face

feet immersed in the flow of eternity

the deep stillness in the dancing flames of aarti

in the gush of a bubbling stream

in the swirl of excited seekers

seamless joy and peace

in the touch of divine

in the rooted connection within

Was I visiting your home or were you visiting me?

Was I offering flowers or were you showering grace?

was I embracing you in a prayer? Or were you setting my soul free?

when my candle floated away with the current…

was I sending my wish your way?

Or was it my baggage floating away?

Reverie or reality?

I had never felt so peaceful just being me

I had never felt so peaceful to just be…
