An Eventide Farewell Poem by Vaibhav Simha
An Eventide Farewell
Farewell for now, oh good world,
For now I walk with the sun
Who goes content, watching earthly wonders unfurled.
As the welkin in orange flame, may all wear burn!
The moon ascends to festoon the ashen sky
And finds earth, more than the heavens, anigh.
I say, 'How do you, nightly heavenly eye- -
Till dawn breaks, rest in your starry beg high.'
I'm going home, all worries locked,
Ready to sail in this ship of dreams that has docked.
The quiet be the gale, propelling my sail
To untroubled lands, and to the serene deific dale.
Work all done, love taken and fed- -
This token of God I take with me on my journey in the bed.
A lot I toiled; to work more was I said,
But now with peace and fate, I am wed.
I am now one with all existence - myself;
My dreams calmed down: for I was no different than yourself.
I've to return next morrow - Lord grant me this boon;
I know I will sail again, new worries locked, passing the moon.
It's a nice journey of the spirit into the realm of the unknown. " I am going home, all worries locked." The home of the spirit is a place of peace. Enjoy your spiritual unfolding into the atom of nothingness. Thank you very much for sharing

I don't know if your Poet's Notes is correct in England, but i'll guess it is ok in India (at least for you) I have not read the poem yet. i'm BUSY & my online time is restricted. remind me to return to poem text and commenting another day :) bri
1 - re Poet's Notes: i've heard " how do you do? " , as a greeting for someone not met before. but i've not heard " how do you? " how does one do WHAT? AND to me, " what have you" (not a question) is used " at the end of a list in order to refer generally to other things of the same kind. [vagueness]" e.g. " i like cake, ice cream, and what have you" (cont.)
