Goa Trance Dream

[NikolaiI]

The soul is free -
The mind is finicky
and follows images quickly,
but free from impressions
loosens the dream shackles gladly -
The soul is free;
swims through the ocean-dream
Always dancing freely,
'til it reaches the ocean's shore,
the source of every dream -
the spirit's mad, joyous infinity,
the supersoul, heart of hearts,
eternal flame . . .
Divine Comedy . . .
as all dissolves in laughter.

An image, an image,
dissolves into another.
And free of impressions,
the mind softly glides into the source -
free of impresions, finds the reality -
the simple, stupid, truth of oneness,
the soul is struck dumb,
unable to form the formless,
to express ocean oneness.

So many emotions
of the small self,
until at last,
the final feeling is reached,
so much greater than all the others -
No one ever dreamed of this.

The soul is dancing,
surrounded by energy it controls -
it seems like madness,
but it knows infinite joy;
there by the nameless ineffable, infinite soul,
resounding home of all that exists.

Triumphant joy proclaimed by angels,
Infinite pure lands, rivers and streams,
all there in a tiny cell.

Dream -
so many emotions of the small self,
and pain that burns like an ocean,
an joy that sounds like fire,
the oneness of these in my breast
rings like the clanging of a metal bell.

The heart that is strong like a great fire
and a mind free of demanding emotions,
are one with a body hallowed by love,
a house to the sky and ocean, earth and heavens -
an orb of nature, the Goddess, earth and universe.

Goa is a wonderful place.....

This has a lovely ethereal, stream-of-consicousness feel to it, Nik. I really like it, keep going!!! Don't stop writing!!!!

[dafydd manton]

I just love the "small self", and the ending on the Goddess. The more I read this, the more I like it.

This comes as such a natural flow of thoughts. Great job!
And I've never been to Goa but I've heard dream stories about it. :)

[NikolaiI]

Thank you so much, Dave and Mary!

Lol Symphony :p and thank you. What did the dream stories say?

[zoolane]

I like it but not sure what I think about. I will get back you.

[Haunted]

The pleasure in reading your poems Nik, is I never know where it'll take me. In this one, the opening 2 lines drew me in and took me on a journey through endless beautiful imageries.

[NikolaiI]

Thanks a lot for your comment zoolane. I hope you'll tell me what you think after thinking about it, only if you want to.

And thanks so much Haunted; I'm really glad you liked it and I couldn't think of a better success than a journey of endless beautiful imageries :)



Wanted to say to Dave, thank you again... your encouragement is so kind. Also wanted to say I got some inspiration from the following poem by Sri Aurobindo, called Ocean Oneness.


Ocean Oneness

Silence is round me, wideness ineffable;
White birds on the ocean diving and wandering;
A soundless sea on a voiceless heaven,
Azure on azure, is mutely gazing.

Identified with silence and boundlessness
My spirit widens clasping the universe
Till all that seemed becomes the Real,
One in a mighty and single vastness.

Someone broods there nameless and bodiless,
Conscious and lonely, deathless and infinite,
And, sole in a still eternal rapture,
Gathers all things to his heart for ever.

[zoolane]

Dear Nik,
Well what I think your poem is about.

Verse 1: A soul is trouble with mental and pyhsical being, she create a fanasty world, 3 rd line from bottom is that soul found God and last 2 lines are said'god being all long' soul find it funny.

Verse 2 : The soul is still in their fanasty world but someone or somethink is stop them and bring them back to reality with bump.

Verse 3: The soul drift back in to fanasty world their god create everything.
Their emotions are getting better of them.

Verse 4: The soul gained self control in fanasty and in turn that reality is under their control.

Verse 5: Is about I think the soul find freedom about whatever hold them back.
Find enormous comfort in God, in the soul faith.
