I inhale the air, stale with breaths of the walls
drooping down condescendingly upon lowly mortals
I inhale the wind, gusts and gusts of wind
with its acrid bitterness clinging to my lungs
and sucking the life out of me, blurring the scene
I inhale death, and the sky, wind, the blue and grey, all merge
in a violent shudder of elation
that runs down my spine and is quietly grounded through my feet
And I become one with the earth
and the sun and the moon
and every atom in every soul in the universe
I inhale, a large heaving, like waves of a mighty ocean
rising and falling slowly, grandly, extra-ordinarily
and the feeling kills me, kills me with the beauty of its immensity
I submerge myself, go under the water, rise and go under again
feel the water filling my lungs
purging away the vile shades on them, cleansing -
A life-time of ignoble ignorance
The water fills me, makes me one with itself
and I quietly heave, watch the beautiful bubbles rise in crystal blue
with the rainbow colors of a slanted sunlight, still reaching
still reaching, so deep, so remote,(how I wonder!)
But the wave crashes, with a huge sound, deafening but magnificent
and I am planted along the particles on the beach
the tiniest of all and a part of each
And finally becoming one with nature… Beautiful like a peaceful but enigmatic dream….”and the feeling kills me, kills me with the beauty of its immensity”, “the tiniest of all and a part of each” – loved them…
