The Beyond Poem by Muralidharan Mudaliar

A cry from beyond,
Calls to ‘that' within,
An answering cry from within,
Tries to reach out to ‘that' beyond.

Through maze and darkness,
The calls try to reach out from that beyond,
To the soul, that cries within,
My answering call never reaches out,
The beyond remains the beyond,
Only the soul cries from within.

The fire glows and dies,
The beyond remains the beyond
Only the soul cries from within..
