The music is rising

Picture Credits

Yes, my love,

I still remember
The summer day
when the sky turned
to tears,

When I pulled my window curtain
across the sun,
and laid myself down
in the shards
of a newly
broken world,

It is hard to go
back there,

To the moment where
I became deaf to
everything
but the 'lub-dub'
of my own heart.

To the first and only
moment of my life
where I ever doubted
God,

But, what i remember most
my love,
is that there were always

Angels....

That picked me up with
wide human wings
and sat me on their shoulders

making me laugh
in those fractured days
where laughter
was but
a painted dream

And every breath of joy
a miracle,

They turned my face towards
my own
light
when I did not
want to see...

And slowly

Neath the hands of grace

I came back to
myself

Found my heart
amidst the ruins

And learnt
to run again.

Today....
I went to the ocean

And
Three angels of tommorrow
came to me...

First

A butterfly
landed on
my sandaled feet

It lingered there
a while

Whispering

Then as I waded into the
clear blue water
A wild black seal
found me

How I do not know
Across the wide expanse
of the deep,

But find me she
did....

And Finally
as I was walking home
A huge brown dog
with wise eyes
bounded like lightning
across the sand and
stood for a moment
by my side...

Im not sure why they came
to me today,

But somehow
they said to me...

"In spite of all your
wounds and all your pain, Maithri.

You
are
Loved.

The music in you
is rising, Beloved,

The plan
is perfect."
