Hi there! I love this piece...it's somehow very other worldly and deep. I lost my beloved brother so am trying so hard to believe in a beautiful place after death. This makes me think that maybe, just maybe, there is something even better than the golden arc of each sunny day here on earth. Sure

I am sorry I did not respond earlier. I also lost my older brother in April and I can share the feelings. My faith however tells me that only the body dies not the divine Self- the Spirit, if you will- that occupies the body. The poem came in my head like someone dictating it. The thoughts came in my language and I translated them in English as I have forgotten the script. I appreciate your sharing the feelings and many thanks for the high ratings. All the best and happy holiday season. My advice is not to grieve for departed body, but cherish the memories of that spirit.

A well arranged poem of spiritual journey where we were bewildered beyond explanation by the experience. Good work! Thanks for sharing your experience.

Dear Esotine,
You have said it! Often spiritual messages come to our psyche and get ignored but then, some make the impact that does bewilder us. I enjoyed your thoughtful note and many thanks for them as well as the encouraging ratings. All the best.

You are welcome. I felt you spent some time on the message and wrote your opinion.
Comment from palmart
Lovely poem! It clearly describes that sensations are totally personal. Despite of the invention of language and poetry, sometimes it is difficult (for not to say , impossible) to share same facts. It is like sleeping: no one can do that for you. You have to do it by yourself. Great Picture choice!

Dear Palmart,
You are absolutely correct; so many feelings, experience and thoughts we encounter in our moments of solitude and they are sensed but cannot be reproduced. I appreciate your note and the encouraging ratings very much. All the best.

Comment from Taurus the Elder
Very good. I love your ending "joy-filled insane" a very good way to describe something our inner self sees but can not put in words what it is. Technically sound, solid spiritual feeling, good art work. Great job, wishing you continued success.

Dear Taurus the Elder,
The words and typing is mine; the message arrived from the unseen self. Thanks for your encouraging rating and wonderful words of wisdom. All the best,

Comment from George Santhosh
I suppose that feeling you describe comes over people in different circumstances. Mine was when I was on the terrace, it had rained, and when I was surrounded by around thirty fireflies. I just lied down on the wet ground looking at the night sky. No matter how much I try, I can never explain what I felt that night to another person and capture the full essence. I feel you perhaps had an experience such as that when I read this poem.
Wish you the best,
George

George: Indeed we get sometimes, a glimpse of That, which we have not yet found a way to explain with the physical sense organs. I indeed had an experience many years ago in a major storm that was raging out side my hut and uprooting tall Elms and Oak trees. It was dangerous for me to stay inside because so many trees surrounded my hut any one of them would have fallen on the hut. I went out in the open and stood there getting plummeted by small branches and powerful rain drops and thunder was cracking down cutting trees in half. I felt the furry of that storm but there was no fear in my heart and I stood there silently watching the force of mother nature. I felt peace inside and a strange sense of not being with my body. Storm lasted for an hour and moved on. I never understood that whole experience but after almost 8 years, that feeling came over and the poem just took birth; first in Hindi but I couldn't remeber the script to write and I wrote it in English. What you felt also I believe was a touch of the Holly Spirit to perhaps nudge you to explore the spiritual part of humanity. Thanks for your encouraging note and the rating.
All the best, Read my collection posted in my portfolio under the book title, "Random Reflections".

Thanks, Arun for sharing that incredible experience. I guess it manifests differently in different people. I'll check out Random Reflections :)

You are correct; individual experience not only differ, they are also unique to each person. "The Self Discovered truth is the living truth," say the masters of Tibetan Oral Teachings of Buddhism. Hope you will enjoy the poems and do tell me if you like, what your views are. All the best.
Arun
