Oh To Touch That Light That Fans Across Your Eyes

Oh ! to touch that light that fanned across your eyes 
             the moment I began to pray.  
Like a thousand wings of eagles flapping in the wind 
      my heart soared to places  I had never been before. 

Oh ! to be that sun that spread across  my landscape 
  reviving my emotions and offering vitality.  
Like a million butterflies flying on ephemeral beauty 
          my soul moves through the air, 
     knowing their is nothing there, beyond compare. 

Oh ! to love with airborne arms & finally reach the sky 
               embracing every hour, with utter Grace
Like a million dollars washed away in rain I'd hold no value 
                except those diamond thoughts , 
                  that like thine own refrain, would say to me,  

"Oh ! to touch that light that fans across your eyes right now !"

Jay Narain November 12, 2025 at 10:11 AM The poem seems to be about yearning for an ecstatic connection — both with the beloved (the “you”) and also with something transcendent (light, sky, soul). It expresses the desire not just to feel love, but to become a source of love (“to be that sun”) and to be transformed through it (“reviving my emotions”).
