HIS WILL

Into the Inconscient’s somnolent Self

He him did throw

(There to feel the razor-edge

Of agony and grief)­­­

This halcyon-white spirit-self

Condemned to the other bank

Of the sea of Ignorance

By God, His Heavenly Father.

 

Winding his way fretfully

Through matter, life and mind

He came upon the ledge

Where he espied the immeasurable deep

Beckoning him towards Itself.

 

Seared in ennui’s blazing furnace

He plunged in to the Emptiness of his Self

The people around him laughed

And he with them at them

For he the Eternal Sea-farer

Had made the final leap

Into the Supraconscient’s Quietude

From the mind’s ‘salilam’.

 

Awakened from his eternal sleep

He was wroth to come down again

To browse in pastures black and green

But as it was decreed thus

He could not but bow his head

To the task the Lord for him had set.

 

Wading through the sticky mire of mind and matter

He picked up pearls like the mythical swan

And upon the peopled beaches them did scatter

That man shackled in Nature’s clasp once again might stand

With a head held high in supernal spheres

And feet in them too.
