I wonder how wierd it is,
every moment I wish to see you,
but during every wish I close my eyes,
making the task convenient and ecstatic,
but why is it so?
Is there something significant in closing the eyes?
otherwise how come the two opposite things become sponteneously simulteneous!
I wait for rains all around the year to dance in it,
but when it does, I close my eyes,
and feel its drops kissing my face,
and rejoicing my sluggish spirit;
I eagerly wish to walk across the Rose Garden,
but while doing so, I close my eyes,
and feel the redolence penetrating to the fetid corners of my heart;
While visiting a temple, I wish to see God there,
but while paying obeisance, I close my eyes,
and feel His iridescent presence inside;
So these activities look so different yet extraordinarily common,
i close eyes while wishing, praying, kissing, singing;
It is as if all beautiful experiences do not involve eyes,
they are unseen.
While I see, I give the things only perfunctory glance,
but while I close eyes,
a communication establishes between outside and inside,
integrating the two and complementing,
and this complementary integration is rejoicing
and the felicity of that rejoice is what closes my eyes!
Yogi, I just read the poem and I liked it too much that I recalled u n my eyes just closed!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was just amazing..however there is another moment when we close our eyes...When we are in pain...lets imagine somebody prick ur finger with a needle.. for one moment eyes are closed to establish a communication between outside and inside
