The Lodestar Poem by Dr. Madan Gandhi

Once love enters your being
it stays with you forever
it is not a fickle sensation
but musk of realization

Whose fragrance
unlike grief and sadness
persists long after
the lived experience

What comes and goes
what changes is not love
but just a reflection
of a passing sensation

Love is the only light that burns
on the night of annihilation
the lodestar that guides
the stranded and the shipwrecked.
(Yayati)
