When silence speaks
A thousand tongues,
My words can speak
But one.
And though my heart can
sense Eternity,
Beating in tandem
with yours-
Why do my eyes seek
And probe
And question?
The Language of Love
Perhaps, is one
I need to understand;
Still
And Still shall I be
I know, when I
Permeate and flow
As water-
As Life.
When I meet you
Where you have always been.
In me.

I remember this. I had missed this di'still'ed magic of word. But now, reading it again gives me the same amazement with more delicacy. Really, its just You.

ReplyDeleteThanks Usha for reposting because I just recently discovered your blog.
ReplyDeleteAre you published? I would want to get a copy of your poems.
I don't know why but whenever I read you I imagine Madhavikutty penning down her thoughts.
Soumya has already underlined the magic words of the poem!
ReplyDeleteI need to understand;
Still
And Still shall I be
I know
This is such a magic.. I inadvertently drew an analogy with myself! Keep Writing! The day is not far when everyone shall keep everything aside to hear from you!
reminds me of a story which I heard when I was a kid...about someone who went in search of the most precious thing in the world little realising that it was with him all the time
