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!......
