Unravel

The unadulterated absolute joy

that sleeps with me,

because of my blindness

I cannot see.

My indulgences weave

a world of chaos.

I’m lost.

I try to hold onto my world of flimsy dreams.

It burns like inferno, leaving smoldering scars.

I tremble with pain.

Then with compassion, He shines the light.

The introspection dances

at the threshold of my mind.

I slowly exfoliate the layers that defined me-

the name, the form, the people around me.

I extricate my Self

from the attachments that bind me.

This slow unraveling of my soul!

Now I can taste You

in the salt of my tears.
