Soul Window

The torrent has passed

And I am calm, lying on my bed

Watching the window with half-open blinds

From where the sun sends

His noble fingers inside

In slanting rays

Full of otherwise invisible dust

My soul perched on top of the blind

Free from the shackles of a nagging mind

Innocently wrapped in the morning light!

I pinch my calm to see if I let go

Maybe this is some placebo

Of  all the efforts, so well-prepared

Talking to me on their deathbed?

I wanted this for a long time

This calm, this utterly empty mind

All of a sudden these morning rays

Fill my eyes with an empty gaze

I will see this window everyday

And I can even see it at the same time

God knows how many more will open!

But this window, the way it is today

Can only be once in my lifetime.

Just like the place you cannot go to

All the time, so you take it with you

Everywhere.

There is only one window

That opens into your soul.

And then what is left 

Is a lifetime of  the same memory. :)
