Time A Continuous Dream Poem by Savita Tyagi

Time a continuous dream-
Watch its workings in every being.

Eons back
Like a dream I left my mother-father
For a new life beyond imagination farther.
Next time I went to visit my home
A big smile on mother's face was donned.

The joy vibrated from every vein
Of her plump body while
Her open arms gathered me.

Oh! That soft tenderness exited
Like a dream before my next visit.
Disseverance of life force from
Her bodily frame shook me to my core.
My first deep experience
Of life as being a dream.

Since then many a moments
Have brought new presence
And many have disappear in oblivion.

I look at the dawns and I watch sunset.
I watch the snow- covered mountains
And I hear the icebergs breaking from glacier
Forever is an illusion.....
Yet a Power defies the vague boundaries of time

I delight in spring flowers,
And fruitfulness of summer.
The seasons create a permanence
Around life built upon impermanence.
Here the Infinity is in the clutches of finite.
Maya, dream, illusion....
The magic of Zoe is greater than any word!
