Cosmic Dance (A Sonnet)
By Mahathi

When born, they said he came into the light!
Realised he soon it’s another kind of gloom,
where innocence had lost to odious blight
and wisdom went crisscross in carnal looms.

With his one foot in slou and one in space
he strived too long thinking of his perdu
third foot, it’s mystic feel and unfelt pace.
Where’s that sacrificial head ready for due?

In darkness of daylight, in wakening dreams,
in mirroring meditative resplendence
rested his spirit till flowed ambrosial beams
at dusk, enlightening his inner lens.

Then danced he merrily, touching with sole
his cowered nape, when raised his waiting soul.
