with lots of blue pasted all over the face | B |
with a fistful of impish cloud slices | C |
with the moon | D |
with star population | E |
that's an infinite ocean of splendour | A |
that's a mobile liquid flow the edges of which | F |
my eyes cannot reach | G |
- | |
The sky slice entangled to my window is only one | E |
the only guest that entered the threshold | H |
of my senses | I |
In my inner worlds crores of desires | J |
teeming skies are hurtling forth | K |
But the thing caught in my tasteful relish | L |
is imbibed in my soul's bonds | M |
The lack of difference between meaning | N |
and experience is known only to my soul | O |
What does the human sound know | P |
- | |
My legs are afflicted with wanderlust | Q |
Even as I visited many places the thirst | R |
is not quenched So I flapped my wings to fly | S |
I rekindled my voice to sing | N |
Staking my life I earned my word | T |
to convey something | N |
- | |
But in this great journey | U |
the inexpressible is more pronounced | V |
Exhausted crossing the boundaries | W |
of the ability to utter | A |
I am carried away | X |
into indefinable depths | Y |
- | |
- | |
- | |
All are asleep | Z |
leaving the clock alone | A2 |
Its heart beats with fear | A |
The arc of horizon | E |
barking like a dog in the distance | B2 |
is kneeling down | C2 |
offering prayers in the plains of night | D2 |
- | |
The scenes of the earth and the ocean | E |
are performing penance | B2 |
seeking the whereabouts of the one | E |
who offered his full life | E2 |
for the sake of one song | F2 |
They are waiting for the one | E |
who will lend voices to them | G2 |
who will build temples for them in word countries | W |
- | |
Revolts are taking place in the worlds of | H2 |
consciousness | I2 |
In the mines of silence my soul | O |
is digging tunnels | J2 |
searching for precious stones | K2 |
Unfurling its wings | L2 |
my window is looking | N |
unto the sky | S |
- | |
For the one who shoulders boats | M2 |
nets are needed to plough the ocean | E |
For the one who carries strife | E2 |
dreams are needed to plough life | E2 |
As I lost my dreams | N2 |
I am struggling like a fish out of water | A |
- | |
By the time it is night | D2 |
animate beings assume silence | B2 |
Inanimate beings begin to speak | O2 |
In sleep silence lits up | P2 |
the pathways of my dreams | N2 |
- | |
A spider built its house | Q2 |
connecting the flower and the statue | R2 |
Converting it into a bridge | S2 |
the spider journeys from flower to statue | R2 |
and from there to the flower again | T2 |
Isn't the spider a sage | U2 |
That small insect could build a mega city of | H2 |
my soul | O |
The people who inhabit the place | B |
are the countless silence communities | W |
Peace always treads along | F2 |
over the step marks of silence | B2 |
For the civilization | E |
caught and mauled in the midst of sounds | V2 |
that craves for silence | B2 |
I alone can provide succour | A |
I am the scientist of silence | B2 |
who received training near the feet of the spider | A |
That's why | S |
I made a habit of going to the forest | Q |
that does not have the trace of man's slush | W2 |
