The soul...
On a treasure hunt
Of forms, beautiful and sacred;
Bewitching and beckoning A cosmic dance empowering;
Balance! Says the Swastik The Srivatsa teasingly transforms;
Removing the insecurities The Kalash silently protects;
Ushering in success and joy With Nandavarta – the multiplier;
No place now for blockages, Laugh the Twin Fish, sliding them away;
As the building blocks fall into place Strength! Commands the Sampusht;
Now beckons the crystal seat With the stability of the Bhadrasan;
And the search culminates In the clarity of the Darpan;
Such is the soul’s journey
Of forms - beautiful and sacred; Each one unfolding, each one empowering In the cosmic becoming.
