I dreamed a dream
and in this dream, I found myself
within an auditorium,
spacious and vast.
People, like me, in Nature's finery, arrayed
in concentric circles, seated facing
centre stage where there, the orchestra,
poised before the one lone Conductor;
His waving of regal arm and hand,
nobly directing the symphonic dance.
The multifarious instrumental sound
resonating through air, walls and in the ears
of the audience, silent and in awe;
while the scene before my visionary eyes,
transforms - the symphony, softer now,
quieter, melting into gentle sea of silence.
The Conductor, now a dot, a miniscule dot
of infinitessimal size
in the centre of, not an auditorium
but a vast and beautiful mandala,
of intricate patterns of every spectral hue.
I now approach this central dot
and there, I enter within, I know not how;
I hear, though not with mortal ear,
total silence, yet of wondrous harmonies
and I see, though not with mortal eye
a multi-dimensional infinitude
of ever-unfolding energies.
Oh, so awestruck indeed am I,
to here, behold and deeply penetrate
the supreme and fundamental Tone,
from which the symphonious fabric
of entire and living cosmic mandala unfolds -
it's life-energies resonating while singing. ---
