The Awakening
Five decades of slumber, Fifty long years of sleep, Half a century of hibernation, Dawn after a dark night, Morn after the Moon, The Awakening... The quiet beauty spreads its rays Engulfing the dreary darkness Reaching even the nooks and crevices of the heart - An understanding, reaching inwards, Quenching the thirst of the mind, Embracing the soul Enlightening..... a knowledge Just grasped, rays of hope, from futility, Joy from sorrow A noisy peace from solitude The beginning, A pebble To a mountain..... the path Difficult, torturous, seemingly unattainable goal to Nirvana The Awakening!...... ~Madhu~
