Obscurity

The burnt earth
Formed into shape,
The cloud comes alive
With the touch of holiness.
The obscure visions,
The smoke dispersing,
Mind deified.


The feel of nothingness
Amidst everything,
The burnt remains
Left back as an abandoned child.
Clock relieved of keeping
The tide of time!


Suffocating smoke
Rendering peace to the mind,
Wispy visions providing pictures
Of mountains unconquered
Light from the candle, manoeuvring
In this strong breeze.


Shifting clouds,
Unwillingly carried by wind;
Passionate breath,
Mottled with godly blessings;
Benumbed mind,
Trying to forget days past!


--------this is written from the context of a person(probably a sadhu) after smoking a 'chillum'... when he thinks of the unconquered mountain of his god...
'The burnt earth.. formed into shape'.. symbolizes the chillum...
'The burnt remains left back...' symbolises the ash which is left back...
