Yearning

…I’ve been living
          like there is
                    no tomorrow…
…I’ve been through ups and downs,
          and whipped myself ruthlessly —
                    to admonish the rest…
I’ve been washing in dew
          of the rainbow
                    early in morning —
Reaching forth with my wings,
          trying hard to hold on,
                    ever trying my best.
I had tried to enswathe
          with the mist of a rain
                    my hot-spirited senses,
To put out the blaze
          of my passions,
                    t’recover some poise…
I’ve been rushing about —
          from one sea to another —
                    in a whirlwind of tension,
Looking only for freedom,
          which means —
                    no love to rejoice…
…But one day, at daybreak
          that had been
                    so quiet and crispy —
One could easily hear
          the dew
                    as it’s dripping from leaves…
The thunder burst from on high —
          and a rainbow sprang,
                    clear as crystal…
And I uttered Your name,
          voicing my innermost
                    beliefs:
— Our Father!..
          I — love:
                    all this world
                              You conceived and created,
I enjoy it again,
          I have risen —
                    the lesson is learnt!..
I’m worshipping You:
          press me onto Your heart,
                    oh Creator —
Hold me tight like you’re holding
          the stars in the sky —
                    from sunset and till dawn…
Let me melt into it —
          into primal
                    untamable nature:
Let me turn to the dust
          that builds up
                    the Saturnian rings…
…Please allow me to love:
          while we love,
                    our youth is perpetual!
Let me burn in the flames of my passion —
          accepting
                    whatever it brings.
