Sitting On The Red Strands Of Eternity. A Sonnet. To my Brother Venkatachariji M

Sitting on the red strands of Eternity;

Engrossed in rhapsody, to the allure of the virgin dawn.

Mother Earth arises to caress my Spirit,

With Her sweet and soothing inner music,

Resonating in my Heart.

What a Paradise, this vast and beautiful sea of Light!

Day and night it spouts Delight, like a fountain,

Its deathless Love a paragon of Bliss unfathomable.

This whole Dance glows with quintessential beauty;

An endless stream of Gratitude unparalleled.

Come! O Ray of Lanterns, Your luminous flame flood my core,

Washing away the dross of darkness;

Filling my Soul with Thy supernal beams,

To make me whole again.

~ Awakening The Inner Light ~

"The sacred Light of yet another dawn,

Ever anew, thrills the Spirit; replenishes my Soul.

A tiny flicker in the Heart sparkles ...

I float joyfully, like an Ocean of crimson waves,

Kissed by the Sun and filled with Love." -Manatita
