Be The Arrival or The Departure

Be The Arrival or The Departure

written by: Kriti Mahnot

 

Be the arrival or the departure…
Both must echo the ripple of love,

Be from light to clay or vice versa…
The transition must be smooth,

The swan gathers her flock in a cradle of grace…
And her wings provide shelter against the waves,

The angel ascends your pleas to the dome of divine mercy…
And her wings curl to let the wounded sleep in the lap of light,

The tear, a pearl in the ocean of surrender…
The angel does not count the scars…
But records the moments the pilgrim whispers the name of the Healer between breaths,

The voyage is not just from earth to the sky…
But rather from forgetfulness to remembrance…
From the shadow of the self to the radiance of the Beloved,

And in that flight, no soul falls…
For Love is both the journey and the nest,

Now let these words be as feathers lifting your prayers to the Hearkener…
And in return purifying the eternal bond between the reader and the Writer of destiny.
