FALLEN

It did drop all the way down

From the heavens above to the much trodden ground

It might be missed in some galaxy afar

From my point of view ‘twas just a falling star

 

With hurried steps and a quick breath

I navigated the moonlit woods with stealth

Soon came I upon a hollow carved

A sight for human eyes so starved

 

A kaleidoscope of colours profound

Danced vividly upon the star-kissed ground

Patterns intricate they deftly did weave

Shapes and motions beyond mortal belief

 

Stood I transfixed in a stupor serene

Colours sprouting a defying sheen

And in the myriad rainbow I heard

A soft voice whispering word after word

 

It touched my emotion holding me still

It dissolved my fear and strengthened my will

And in this welcome vortex where water-colours burnt

An untold secret that night I learnt

 

For the voice said “ I do not come from far you see”

“Neither am I a suspenseful mystery”

“I live very close and am known only to few”

“I am the very air around you”

 

“I sleep with your dreams at night”

“I drink your anger when you do fight”

“I even swallow your running tears”

“I have with me the destiny of years”

 

“I cannot be lost yet I am never found”

“In the multitude of existence do I abound”

“I am that which holds the ground”

“I even painted the sun so round”

 

“I am in everyone and everything”

“I have no beginning nor an ending”

“I wish to tell you that you then are THE Deity”

“And love is the beauty of Spontaneity”

 

The heavens silent and the dancing lights asleep

In the skies the majestic dawn did creep

And as I made my way to home

I realized that I wasn’t alone

 

All I had to do was reach out and touch

The faith in belief an indomitable crutch

The error lies not in those that be

It is these eyes which refuse to see.
