Leaves Over Water

Like leaves over water

shadows flit across my eyes

darkened by the dream

of too many lands, too many loves.

      -- from my poem, "Vagabondage"

The mind has depths unwilling to be plumbed, too deep for illumination, too costly to be bared. Words can only express the things that well up or get hooked to the surface. The metaphor here should remind us to be patient and ever vigilant to catch the driftwood of our thoughts. We should even dip ourselves in completely from time to time, and go wherever the wind or the current may take us.

As a Bengali hymn goes, Dive Deep, O Mind, Dive Deep...
