My Longings

A sad longing
I have for Peace.

A sweet longing
I have for Light.

A conscious longing
I have for self-transcendence.

A surrendered longing
I have for love-realisation.

A sleepless longing
I have for my perfect Perfection.



Sorrow

At the rim of sorrow
He found his heartless mind.
On the brink of despair
He found his soulless heart.
In the sea of destruction
He found his goalless soul.
Centuries dropped dead.
Now
On the shore of Time
He finds his searching mind
He finds his crying heart
He finds his illumining soul.
