With beautiful white daisies
There was a flower vase
Just a week ago it was glowing
On the green carpet grass
May be something happened
But that’s not shining my heart
I wondered the course of reality
When “artistry” departs the art?
Where does the beauty go
When the form ceases
Does it return to a storehouse
Or unto formless it releases?
Your eyes are so beautiful
And your heart so dear
If eyes are so formed
Why’s the (formless) heart so near?
Who knows what happened
When nothing was to happen
Who knows what happens
When everything is to happen!
My mind goes back to Wordsworth's line: There was a time when medows, grooves and streams Seemed apparelled in celestial light.... Whither is fled the visionary gleam Whither is gone the glory and the dream! I am quoting from memmory, may be the words are misplaced. CP

I would like to translate this poem
in Tamil there is a great composition ' Kandhar Anubhoothi ' by Shri Arunagirinathar, a great saint from that one song is ---------------- Uruvai Aruvai Uruvai aruvai uladhai iladhai maruvai malarai maniyai oliyai karuvai uyirai gadhiyai vidhiyai guruvai varuvai arulvai guhaney ----------------- Meaning O! Lord Muruga you are the one with the form, you are also one without a form. You are the one who has it all, and you are the one who does not have it all, you are present in the smallest, in the flower, in the ring of the bell, and in the Light. You are the embryo, you are the life, you are the destiny, and you are the fate. Please come upon us as our Guru and bestow your blessings. -------------------- i feel like reading Kandhar Anubhuti
