The unexpected and hidden, come camouflaged in the colors,

stealthily, gently, in steps of the shadows

when you thought the sunlight would vanish forever.

The moments come like a chick just breaking out of eggs.

Watch them and hold your breath;

do not touch lest they break.

Sushama Karnik

 Your name, O God, like nectar to me at all times,

why does the heart tremble today,

why does it turn away

when today

I need it most?

Tell me God why can't I recall

your presence near me?

The whole world is praying for your grace,

and I hide my face

in grief, in grief.

 

 Michael Papendieck photography

Gather ye sunbeams on a wintry morn,

garner the rays and weave a yarn;

wrap it around and tumble down,

then catch a dream and roll around;

slide you sideways, then up above;

then open your eyes and take a deep breath.

In an instant, the symphony will unravel

the secret of the slumber of God's aeon.

 Come to me in the silence of night,

come on the wave of intensity.
Come when the desire is the strongest pull
to our illusory destiny.
Listen when the soul speaks and not the mind,
Come to me with no intention ;
come as the words of poesie.
Come in the emptiness of your soul.
And I will teach what it is to love
in the wilderness of the forest
and in the cascades of the shivering rain...

 जब तुम्हारी आंखें सपने देखती हैं, तो मैं तुम्हारा सपना देखता हूं।

मैं उन्हें करीब से देखता हूं, उस बिंदु के करीब जहां वे मेरी भौंह से मिलते हैं।

आपका सपना फट जाता है। मैं अब तीसरी आँख हूँ

अपनी भौहों के बीच दर्ज,

सुखदायक, शांत,

अपनी पलकों के रहस्यमयी साये में छुपकर,

अंदर की ओर खींचा, मैं देखता हूं, मैं पीछे हटता हूं

अपने मन की रहस्यमय चुप्पी में।

 When your eyes dream, I dream of you.

I watch them move close, closer to the point where they meet my brow.

Your dream explodes. I am now the Third Eye

lodged between your brows,

soothing, calm,

hiding in the mysterious shadows of your eyelids,

drawn inward, I watch, I retreat

into the mysterious silence of your mind.
