Traversing the Trinity

In the dark alley of time my soul wanders With life stumbling on pitfalls of blunders The frailty of the indistinct fragile future Casts shadow of despair on my innate nature That is consumed in the darkness tormenting Turning my spent spirit into Tamasic nothing. I search for a glittering highway to escape And to carve for my life an egoistic shape Configuring the elements of desire in essence Chasing the migrating mirage of opulence Until in the mindscape sprouts sagacious sense Not to be allured by Rajasic impermanence. Detached from the transient life’s thread thin I now sink to the depth of eternal soul within Where time is lost in the timeless deep silence Where the joy of living dances in resonance With the pristine perception rising from abyss I am then the supreme in sublime Sattvaic bliss.
