Thoughtless Suspension .
While black waves and pricking missiles ,
Take hold the course of daily lore ,
Psychic scheming and oily tongues torment ,
And haunt my poor fool through drought and thunder ,
I remember You ,chant Your name , and take rest under ,
Your feet ,as if a driven out criminal finds home beyond the border .
I muse a while on my refugee's struggle ,
And the causeless causes of the old and the new ,
Appear as the locust on all work-a-day crops .
Empty and bankrupt with arrowed wounds I writhe ,
I wish a cleaner , a balm , that can mitigate ,
The ravages committed by yellow fate .
Then Your image from within flashes ,
I get drawn to the shower of that fountain ,
As I dip and dip and dip ,into that unfathomed lake ,
I begin to forget the burden of my memories chambers ,
My thoughts retire and senses go into sleep ,
In a trance ,I feel Your revelation ,-the remotest Unconscious !
