any picture comes to my mind,
i try to give it a body of words,
love to sit on other blooms,
for honey, color, fragrance........

IN THE BOBOLI GARDENS
courtesy : d'Verse Poets ball
We are partying tonight
Us, the wordy-beings
As our feet strike the dancing floor
Lighty-flighty mighty words
Begin to rise from terrazzo
We are drinking deep
The Soma-rasa*
of intoxicating words
Fragrance of exotic sumptuous meal
Soothing our hungry souls
In the Boboli gardens
We all hear the whispering voice
“In the beginning was the Word
And the Word was with God
And the Word was God”
We recognize ourselves
Under this starry night
“We are one"
*.
Soma rasa is a CONCEPTUAL beverage of Gods , which is described as Truth
(Sathyam), Auspiciousness( Sri:) , light /radiance (Jyothi:)in the Rig-Veda (Wikipedia)
ha. nice spiritual connection there in the end...and we are one...soma-rasa...i had not heard that before...or at least heard of it under a different name....i like the recognizing of ourselves...and hte placement of that in this...nice write sumana...
ah it is wonderful when we can celebrate together and embracing the others as they are beside the differenceds.... soma-rasa has a cool meaning.. happy anniversary sumana!
Well..first of all..looking at meaning of Soma Rasa..I DO SACREDLOVE..TRUTH..FUTURE JOY YES! SUCCESS..AND LIGHT! AND THINK that too!..is a wonderful metaphor for the MIX OF BEVERAGE THAT IS GOD!
And it's always Lovely to appreciate that WE ARE! ALLONE..AND NEVER ALONE!
SMILES! AND hope! you ALWAYS enjoy the WHOLE BALL OF LIFE!
Finally I have found you! The Garden is huge and crowded but the soma rasa lured me to your side. When the diverse babblers see they are one, everyone has a chance to survive.
The loveliness of your words & spiritual message were certainly matched by the whirling, stamping, hugging, weeping with joy that I have witnessed & participated in for two days; my first time in Italy. I love knowing that in your corner of the globe, your home is shared with us, & your heart; it is cherished.
Hi Sumana this sounds just the night to be at the ball. You have painted a vivid image for me of fun and delight, friendship and joy. And the drink was divine.
The word, the lights, the sounds - stage set - poets enter stage left - the party started three years ago and we play on, yes we play on. Happy Anniversary! and thank you.

ReplyDeleteI like the idea of drinking deep the soma-rasa and recognizing ourselves as one under the same sky ~ Thank you Sumana ~
ReplyDeleteGod included as it should be. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of recognizing ourselves under the starry night. It made me think of Van Gogh. This definitely would be a nice image to party under.

Indeed we are all one. Would be nice to toast with soma rasa.
ReplyDeleteThere is definitely something sacred about Words...and how you tie in our diversity to oneness at the end is so true. Beautiful.

ReplyDeleteThere is a serenity to this, a sense of all being part of "one." Lovely.
