Thus Spake The Gita

 

When the weary eyes

Of householders

Are fast closed

At 2 AM

The Yogi’s eyes

Are ever awake

&

Are the only light

In the darkness

Showing

The path

To God

 

Is it?

May be….must be…

  2. It is so very peaceful to think that the Yogi is watching over humans as they rest.....keeping the light on, leading the way!

  6. There is a hesitation or skepticism in that last line that I read in the ellipses. Odd, but that's what I like most about this poem.

  7. Some doubt about faith is so human, & yet "must be" needs to be uttered/thought, for there are spiritual forces in the Universe that carry the Truth, the keys to the kingdom. There are those among who claim to "know", that have no "doubts"; oner day beyond the veil, we'll meet them again & compare notes.

  9. I think the important the is that we believe the gods are awake.. Love that doubt in the end though. I think we need that too.

  10. There is comfort in knowing that the whole world is never totally asleep and that some keep the faith, or so we hope.

  11. Yes.. the eyes of Yogis.. never sleep in darkness.. are wide awake in repose.. of always recovering in light that never grows old..
    a spirit living forever.. in mores of now.. a life of
    love that is strong yet never attached to death
    of knowing love only grows
    stronger
    as
    death of other
    than living life..:)

  14. I love how in the first part you speak with complete assurance, but in the last 2 lines, you bring in a sense of questioning and doubt.

  15. I had to come back a few times to grasp your lines, starting long, and strong, then, that fading. Do we need the eyes to remain open, or in hoping so, are we no longer responsible for our fate at all? A philosophically fascinating piece.

  16. Transcendent depths in these few words. A very thoughtful write.
