Intoxicating Ocean

Posted by Pristine Eyes on February 27, 2008

“The waves of desire in the world-ocean are intoxicating wine. ”

Sri Guru Granth Sahib

 

Image :Thanks for the great image

The waves rushed towards the shore

Each competing with the other

In a race to reach the land first.

But a young wave seemed reluctant

To move forward : touching the shore

Is sure death! Why should I proceed? It cried.

The swaying waters smiled and said:

There is no death in gifting oneself to the beloved.

The land is the lover of the ocean,

Therefore it’s shores surround us in an eternal hug,

From the cliffs and hilltops, it stares at us with longing

The ocean answers the land’s call by reaching out

With its gentle waves, in a romance everlasting

And forever incomplete.
