A Bridge in Clouds


Have you ever seen a bridge?
Floating, gliding, soaring
Aimlessly drifting
On a soft puffy bed
In colours brilliant and vibrant
Of tender luminosity!

I stand
On this bridge
Floating and flying
In the blissful nothingness
In a beautiful void
Lost to time and space!

Am I then
A speck of a magnificent whole
Flowing with the tide
Or, Am I the master of
A destiny and choice
Blessedly that I enjoy!

But why should I
Wander into such mindless matters
Existence is instant presence,
Past or future are
Inconsequential, effervescent
Delight and gloat, O! fools, in this
Moment of beauty, bliss and elation!
