LIGHT....

YOUR LIGHT, MY LIGHT by Rabindranath Tagore ( 1861-1941)

Your light, my light, world filling light,

the dancing centre of my life

the sky breaks forth, the wind runs wild...

and laughter passes over the earth.

the butterflies have spread their sails to glide

Up on the seas of light,

The lilies and the jasmine flowers surge...

on the crest of waves of light.

Now heaven's river drowns its banks.......

and floods of joy

have run abroad,

now mirth has spread

from leaf to leaf, 

and gladness.......

without measure comes............

"Faith is the bird that feels the light, when the dawn is still dark.."

                                                              - Tagore

FOR PATIENCE (Feb 20-24)

You walked in the light, on  days when soft grasses rustled with   buttercups and butterflies. More like a lion than a lamb.

You came to the fence, when breezes blew leaves from the trees. We greeted each other as old friends are want to do.

She was your world. Cordelia of the  winter snow. You of the summer sun. How you loved each other.

The fence was your pirate ship. How you loved to reach for the stars.

Content with each other.

The world of the fence was enough. Peace in its corner.

Her balcony. Your muse. 

You let me in.......

Together at the fence. Where we met  when  crickets sang  their nightly songs.

To greet  your companion of snow, from all through those years. Those many years.

And there was a hush. From that moment on. 

 Those times of quiet contemplation.

And she.  She will miss you. As I will....

And when  grasses blow softly and  butterflies and  crickets sing, I will see you there. I will remember you........
