The picture and the poem refused to see eye to eye.

At every step of ours

A little lamp is lit

The lamps multiply

One at every trip.

 

A soulful journey, our goal sublime

As our path we trace

Each milestone we have to cross

Wrapped in earthly grace

 

Success failures, everything

All at a stride

In a mixed bag they dwell

Our unflinching guide.                     

 

The pathways are varied

Red green or blue

They converge in the end

Into a singular hue.

 

The cumulative effect of the lamps

An electronic shower

Behold the congregation of the souls!

A bliss of the Great Hour.

    I’m not so sure the two didn’t meld…of course, only the painter/poet can be certain. I see two souls–one on a cool path, another on a warm path. Each are headed for the same destination hence the last line of your poem, Your work continues to be pleasing to the eye and easy on the mind.

  • NishaMeledath on Feb 28, 2010

    Brilliant play of words. There is a deep spiritual truth that you have tried to unravel here with the simplicity that is quiet daring and beautiful to the senses. I loved the picture though I do not find myself capable of commenting on its relevance with your theme. As far as I am concerned, they both go well together.
