Poems (The One Light)

'These paper boats of mine are meant to dance
 on the ripples of hours,  
 and not to reach any destination.'  
   
                 - Rabindranath Tagore  
   
   
To wherein falls the one light,  
there my heart is full of Thou;  
you, the one who sets me free  
is the one to whom I belong and flee:  
I am in her, she in I; we are the one love  
boundless as sky.  
   
The mystery is without end    
but in the one light exists my true friend.  
I see it afar; I play on its shores,    
as ever it glints and winks and lures.  
I cannot reach it, but it finds every corner of me:  
She, the one lotus to bloom long and sweet.  
I cannot die where no flower can't live,  
and here in my heart the one light softly gives.  
   
           .....
