In the dim light of a melting candle, it’s really wonderful to meditate, Meditate in the name of God.
By Kalaiselvi Arivalagan
Dawn; the dawn of the insight that in meditation there is peace
Cold nights of the rainy seasons
makes me shiver and curl up inside.
Dark seems to soothe me
– my body, my mind, everything
I keep myself warm near the fire
varied thoughts lapses my mind
Is it suitable to have
A passionate lover by my side
on a cold night like this!
No, No. it’s absurd to think so!
Emotions vanish away like clouds
which always change its shape.
chilled winds of the west pricks me
I am shifted to-wards another thought
A real companion near my seat
shall be suitable to discuss something!
cheer up my heart! for a while!
still my thoughts wander far away
In the dim light of a melting candle
it’s really wonderful to meditate
Meditate in the name of God.
I feel to be inside a maze
I know the way to go out
still I can’t come out.
Peeping rays of moon and stars
chuckles louder at my puzzled mind.
Now I realize – Meditation
peace rules over me by sound sleep
My mind shuts away the puzzles
Now, nothing can enter my heart
for I have become one, beyond everything
A daring lover or a silent companion
or the real beauty of nature
none of this may make me rest
To enjoy a place of mind – That’s eternal
serene calmness seem to enclose
around me, around the whole world,
Believing dawn to be near
