Look!

My cataract is removed.
With awe I open my eyes; as if seeing the world for the first time.
A brave new world is unfolding before me by its full splendor.
by its glow, glitter gleam n ’glamour.

My retina receives a colour burst.
Oh what I have missed all these time!
Flowers in its best hue and colour,
spreads fragrance of ecstasy.

Fresh green leaves nod in intoxication.
Silky sprouts of fresh buds disco dance.
An exotic world is dancing before my eyes.
A thousand suns rise.
Full moon lit every corner of earth.

Lotus and water lilies bloom.
Entire galaxy canopied by planets and stars
Smoky mist, dew drops on leaves hiss soft.
Fresh monsoon clouds hang over,
murmur of rain spills on roof tops.

Rainbow dripping down the eaves through rain drops
The smell of earth invigorates.
Then one day I delve into a dream.
My holy mother carries me,
touching my eyes ; she declares “look!”
My vision strikes a treasure trove.

By the feather touch of her grace,
I delve into calmness, falls into silence.
I can see a whole new world revealed,
changing my vision; there is nothing but god
There I lost myself , disintegrated.
I remain a spec, filling ocean of love.
