LOTUSES BLOOM 

By: Madan G Gandhi 

In heart there is a space

where total silence prevails,

no ripples, no ebb and rise of waves,

utterly serene, tranquil is the lake.

There white and purple lotuses bloom,

symphony of silence lights the gloom,

as it envelops when the night descends

before dawning of a million springs.

That’s where no upsurge of thoughts remain

no trace of the opposites, like joy and pain.

There the self sits on the lotus throne

closing doors of senses from toe to crown.

There’s the marriage of knowledge and bliss

self-experiencing the light-trail of awareness,

blossoming to fullness of enlightenment

suffused by seamless serenity of contentment.

(Yayati)
