You Are Within Me Poem by lalitha iyer

I saw the cat
in my inner mind
fondling sweetly
the softest fur coat
I knew she was within me
ages past, when I was born on earth.

I saw the seed
of life sprouting
in the rainwet earth
I could feel the growth
every morning my eyes explored
she has begun the journey to plant
I could feel the tree in a seed
and the seed was lying deep within..

I could feel the globe
the things of beauty
of love and loveliness
all encased within my heart
the flowering gardens
the silky grass
the snow capped peaks
the supple curves
the saintly caves
the silent innate contains
what the vibrant outside exhibits

All the noisy flamboyant curses
reside in soft silent muses
the statue is contained in the stone
magic is only in your magestic hone
the pen was before,
the paper too
and the sky and ocean
birds and rains
yet, the poem is born
only from the microscopic within
when unseen angels bell the thing..
