The Deathless

Poetry

Written by Arjava under a mango tree in Goa (on tour) a few weeks ago.

mango tree

We who have been caressed
By the timeless intimacy
Of the deathless

Who have listened to the song
Of the One who sings
Without a voice

Who have followed
The unseen steps
Of the great conductor

Who have pierced
The veil with eyes
Tightly closed and unmoving

Who have felt
The silken touch of the void reaching out
From nowhere to no one

Who have smelled the intangible fragrance
Of the infinite and have tasted
The myriad flavors of nothingness

Are better prepared for the inevitable
One breath in
And one breath out
