Kabir: Shadows In The Evening Fall Poem by Ravi Kopra

Shadows in the evening fall
thick and deep
the darkness of love
comes over my body and mind
and envelops me.

Window that opens to the west
I look out and get lost
in the love of skies.
Sweet honey that steeps
the petals of the lotus
of my heart, I drink silently.
And I am carried by the splendor
of waves from the sea.

Wait! Listen!
The rising sounds of bells
The rising music of conches.
Says saint Kabir: Behold!
O brother, behold!
I see the lord living
in the vessel of my body.

-Kabir
