The Orphan and the Angel: A Journey Within!

In tunnel, we do move…
as Life takes new turn and twist!
Light at the end of the tunnel being true
while, all the darkness that shrouds
a part of illusion and strife!

Alone, we are in this world
married or unmarried: doesn’t count!
Restless the soul is always
heart seeking HOME in stillness!
Melancholy, binding us in ONENESS!!!

Appearance and disappearance of Angels
In signs and symbols…
Words, Time, Synchronising of Universe
everything aligned,
According to the depth of One’s Voidness!

Matters that matter to human, heartfelt
Therefore, can never be reasoned out!
When stirred at our roots
Heals, the wound…
which had been laid open by sadness around!

Look out then: for poets, painters, musicians
where reason is embellished with dreams
Facts, released in wings of fairies
one perceives…
Perceiving of Angel and Orphan as ONE!

Bound together by same mood: Melancholy!
It’s this BEING, that reminds us of
what once had been lost!
Existence of being an Angel once
Alluding through Signs and Symbols!

In two Worlds, One stand, when the veil uplifts
Miracle though, terrible it is and of its kind!
Explosion and contraction of Heart
Light filling up the corridors, an art!
Tuning into everything, awareness, being the background!

Don’t enclose “The Angel” in mundane,
For when it comes, it is a moment of breakdown…
BREAKTHROUGH!
Yet, that itself is not the promise,
Beyond the ken and realm that lies!

Often elusive and beyond comprehension
“Angel,” thus Jung, said must be felt!
While, attending to the mood swings…
feel its presence felt: “stilling the air”
Or, shaking a tranquil soul!

Born of feeling and knowledge
but, beyond anything, logistic!
Melancholy, a way to call upon Angels
recovering from the depths of our heart
that what has been lost and long forgotten!

Awakening us to simple things in life
transcending, transforming: OUR BEING!
Touching the Orphan that lies within us
witnessing, grieving and if possible
assisting in healing the World!

Awakened in a way,
 that doesn’t cling to arrogance or stubbornness!
If World stood as ONE, in Faith and Humility!
WORLD being the saviour...
Individuality, as a witness to hear the unheard!

Man, “overlooking his valley,”
is when the image of ORPHAN comes to site!
“Forever departing,” often found searching
A pendulum, of longing and tension
swinging between heritage and destiny!

In our best moment, realisation strikes us,
Medium we are…A witness of everything around!
“Light we are, amidst the darkness,”
And, when this realisation strikes us
the unbridgeable gap comes to the forefront!

Orphan who walks the path of light
 suspended eternally between…
 heritage of Nature and destiny of stars!
Living our life and experiencing everything
that comes as daily dose!

Touched by melancholy,
metamorphosing spiritually…
Orphan: a medium, glorifies the miracle and creation,
through every possible way one can…
A call! A Vacation within of the soul!

Being, Feeling everything Human
is a boon that angels in heaven yearn!
Orphan: born of Animal and Angel!
The Light that continues to evolve in the moment!
An arc, a bridge to everything in between!

A place, difficult to BE
yet, the only place one breathes and feel!
Torn between the two worlds of BEING
reflecting the Animal and the Angel, same time…
Replaced by everything Divine, in the mirror of Whine and Cry!
