Maya, i See You

maya
i see you
standing under a Rhododendron tree
with a smile on your face
and a twinkle in your eyes
your hands spread half open
with palms facing upwards
and finger facing down
your feet covered with
the red flowers
being showered by the tree
you adorn
a flowing robe
of the colour of night
and the stars on it
twinkle
as the wind plays with its fall
the wings of the butterflies
clipped on your hair
flutter with the rhythm of the wind
who says
day and night can not coexist

maya
i see you
radiating joy
as the hymn of honey bees
fill the air with revere
and flock of devote birds
perch on the trees around
to watch in awe
the bliss on your face
then they break into a spontaneous song
which rises in an orchestrated crescendo
and fills the valley around
and the fairies
i think
i saw them dancing around you
as their brilliant wings
iridescent with your presence
create a halo
around you
who says
sound and silence
can not coexist

it is then you see me
maya
and your smile broadens
you wave your hand
to call me
and i follow your command
then when i reach you
you insist me to look beyond
i refuse at instance
tranced with the surface glitter
then you hold my hand
and lead me
through this maze of bright and brilliance
to the edge of a cliff

i looked down in to an endless abyss
jump she says
i hesitate
she tightens her grip on my hand
and we plunge together

and then i saw it
an open valley of reason
where cause and effect merge into unison
the sun, the moon, the stars, the comets
coexist in the sky
there is no day, there is no night
there is no darkness, there is no light
there is no joy, there is no sorrow
there today merges with tomorrow
there are no losses, their are no gains
there are no passions, there are no pains

this is me
the reality of existence
maya
you tell me

what you saw there
up on the hill was nothing but illusion
to reach here
you have to accept
i exist
and then walk beyond
the mesmerizing illusion
and then plunge
into the apparent darkens
only then you can find me
no one
can discover himself
without finding me
