Chakra-View
 I
was sitting beside the mighty ocean
Mesmerized by its stillness 'n' lack of motion
I felt connected to the silence within
Away from madness of the worldly din
And for once the wheel o' life le'go of its compulsive spin
My eyes turned inwards towards the celestial sky
Wishing I had wings to flap and fly
The breath was fresh the seas were blue
The suns were unveiling an untainted hue
And for once there was imminence of a cosmic clue
In front of my eyes unfolded a molecular dance
Instantly putting me into a vivid trance
What scientists call the Brownian agitation
Felt like nature's festive exhilaration
And for once I remembered life's a divine celebration
The pulsating rhythm, the synchronous Taal **
Was beating the drum of the timely
Kaal ***
In its throbbing unraveled a heavenly play
Where Time and Space were mating in an ecstatic way
And for once I was speechless not really knowing what to say
From father to son life's a game full o' fun
But one that makes you always run
We are born into life through a one-way valve
Whose puzzling way-out no-one can solve
What's the key for this question to truly resolve?
Live in peace and cease the time
It's only when ya le'go of nickel and dime
That the grip of the Chakra finally yields
For once the illusory façade actually peels
And in a flash universal oneness naturally reveals

* In the famous epic,
Mahabharata, a young warrior, Abhimanyu, is said to have gained entry
into the in-penetrable and deadly enemy deployment called the "Chakravyu".
But unfortunately he had been only taught the way to enter but not how
to get out of such a formation. He finally dies fighting valiantly after
helping his forces gain access into this enemy formation. This poem is
inspired by that story playing the word Chakravyu as Chakra-View or the
Vision of the Wheel (of life).
