Vishnu-Vision

By Vijaya Sundaram
Once more, the earth turns
Wheeling in an arc of light
In encroaching dark.
Birds in silent mode.
Leaves fall in red surrender
Before ancient gods.
I can’t remember
What came before or after.
I sit, Suspended,
Idle in dream-time
Gazing at the turning worlds
Spin their tops again.
Above, the Maker
Chants, words making worlds, he sits
In his void, alone.
And far, far away
The Dancer dances the end
Again and again,
The birds fluff their down,
Nestle deeper,or fly off.
Trees give up mutely.
Once more, the earth spins
Turning in her path of night
Silence falls with light.
