    One White Page

    One white page
    An empty child
    Looks before it
    Hoping for the tears
    They can't even be found
    No tears of sadness
    None of joy
    No tears escape from her moonbeam eyes

    Imagine just once you could swim
    In that drinking glass of cool water
    Then could you be satisfied?
    If just once you could submerge yourself
    In refreshment
    Would your soul feel clean then?
    Not even clean
    It wasn't really dirty to begin with
    Rather would you feel free?

    Could the rain inspire your tears?
    Teach you to feel again?
    You feel like crying out but no one is listening
    You just can't make the sounds
    What happened to the music in your soul?
    Where did that Absolute joy go?
    When did the bhajans that sing you through life fade?
    How did you end up so all alone?

    You know there's hope
    Somewhere, perhaps, on the street of dreams
    It's a lonesome road to get there
    You need to fight many demons still
    Large ones with green eyes
    Then will you find the river of pure water?
    Where the neither salt nor chlorine ever get in your way
    Then will you only taste the salt when your soul pours from your eyes?
    Will beauty come and bring you back to her garden?

    Till that day, empty child
    Govinda hears you cry at His Lotus Feet
    When no one is there to hold you close
    Tell you there is hope in the darkness
    He is there.
    You need to dance and dance you shall
    He is always your partner
    You need to be held
    Held you shall be
    He is always your lover
    You need to swim and be free
    Swim you shall
    For He is the water that you seek
    He is the garden and its tender
    Waiting for you all the while
    Turn your emptiness to Him
    He will take you in His arms
    And fill your one white page.

    Every word has such a strong breath behind it. Blew me away.

    this is very lovely
    to express life how we ponder on what
    is ahead what was before
    all in one a life....what we do
    with this life....

    i love the line
    "will beauty come and bring you back to her garden..."

    i do believe she will...........


    {one white page
    for a child to fill
    with all lifes
    living..in gentle
    memories.....}
