Reading Savitri by Candlelight

Reading Savitri by candlelight

I chanced upon a line that lifted me

Beyond myself and then my soul took flight

And reached the borders of infinity.

I saw the stars harmonious and bright

Blazing with the radiance of love,

Striking out all darkness till the night

Was filled with beauty and from those worlds above

I dove into my body without pain

And saw the earth anew, inhaled her air

Grateful to touch the scented soil again

Upon this spinning globe so blue, so fair.

From consciousness to consciousness arise,

Ye children of the dawn with diamond eyes.
