Guest guest Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 They streaked blazing a trail, Across Awareness that is Thee, Seven petals on to Your Lotus Feet! Eyes welling, Maa, here I place Shining rain drops on Your Feet! For we are the cloudless sky, So blessed to rain Roses and tears alike. Keep us raining in peace, Unabated at Your wish, Sons and daughters as You please! Om Shantih, Shantih, Shanti-hi! Madathil Nair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 Thanks Joyce-Ji. It just came out spontaneously when I saw that little girl, full of smiles, boarding the shuttle, as though she was going on a school excursion. From that angle, it is sentimental. With the advaita that crept into it, it indeed is a prayer to Awareness, as you have rightly concluded. PranAms and regards.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Re: The Columbia Blossoms Dear Sri Mathadil: I was thinking about your poem all day and just read your post. May another little girl, Lady Joyce, thank you for also providing the flip side to my rather dark poem, Poison Sky, which also came out spontaneously in response to the tears we shed in sadness after sending my very good friend off to Kuwait. He came to visit me to say goodbye following the administration of an anthrax shot. After he left and into the next day, all I could think about was biological warfare and the planes carrying American soldiers in the sky to kill and be killed, the bombs that would fall and the poison that would rise into the sky to pollute and poison God's beautiful Garden. This is part of what led to my writing of my antiviolence poem to President Bush, who hails from the state of Texas, also known as the death state to some of us who oppose the death penalty. I was writing about anthrax and these other things. Poison Sky...Ours is not to question why. May all beings live in Peace and Harmony OM, shaantiH, shaantiH, shaantiH Love, Lady Joyce xoxoxo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
