Gold and Shadow
©March 5th, 2016
By Vijaya Sundaram

That reflection you hold
Aloft in your mind’s view?
Find it.  Reach it.
Touch it.  Understand
It’s the sun.
You’re the one.
(Don’t burn your hand.
Let it teach you.
Don’t let it blind you.)
Turn all into gold.

Don’t let it vanish
Don’t turn your back.
Things can attack
Your dreams.  So fight!

Shadows you banish
Come from behind
The light.  You’ll find
They gleam.  Hold tight!

Without End

©December 5, 2014

By Vijaya Sundaram

A perfect sphere,

Encapsulating house and trees

And trees and house

And blue so intense

It might break but for the violet

Which edges that without edges:

It floats, delicate and

Precise and ready

To disappear.

 

And it does.

And I mourn its passing,

But rejoice in its brief

Eternity.

 

Why, then, must I fear

The end of my bubble?

All my troubles

And joys and pain

And loss and gain

And a future which

Must appear

Whether I fear

Or not, will be

Captured in that

One perfect moment,

Until I

Disappear …

 

As I, too, must.

So, while you mourn my passing

Rejoice in my brief

Eternity, as I shall

Rejoice

In yours.
