Some poems

Sadhana Forest, Tamil Nadu, India

I.

the stability of instability
the crest of a wave looms,
its subtle form growing slowly in grandeur
steadily rising 
with constant force;
a certitude 
of magnificent magnitude.
for a fleeting moment of glory
its great peak glistens in light
as an attempt 
by a piece of the Great Depths 
to reach toward the heavens.
but its frothy demise is certain,
its glorious crash consuming all in its path
collapsing into absolute dissolution
retreating into its source
of darkness
again.

II.

rebecoming earth
continual rebirth
from the womb of her waters
the seeds of her daughters
find rest in the nest of her dust
slowly becoming whole
again.
