Sleep

let it sleep a while
like a coiled serpent
always ready to strike
until the Soma flows filling the universe

let the cooling winds (vayu)
soothe the earth and the rains replenish
the ground on which u rest

let the wheels turn effortlessly
those u set in motion
before the beginning of time,
sleep easy my love

sleep the sleep of perfection
dreaming universes in and out of existence

fill space with ur sparkling fire-dust
to condense into suns and planets,
spin the galaxies like open flowers
waiting for fertilisation when ur slumber ends

dream dreams of love and perfection
that i may live forever in u
and allow all that chase hell to speedily find their reward,
there is nothing that could disturb ur repose

maintain ur ineffable beauty
and perfect justice without which
existence would end in ruin

lay with me until i am no more
allow what’s left to awake in u

but for now, stay a while at the lower orb
comfort and fortify my body and soul
for the next round of existence

my last victory was total
already won by u, the following
battle was purely a drama
an audience’s delight,
let them marvel in awe
and perhaps a few might join us
in eternity
