7. Between Nothingness and Eternity
Barren of events,Rich in pretensions
My earthly life.
Obscurity
My real name.
Wholly unto myself
I exist.
I wrap no soul
In my embrace.
No mentor worthy
Of my calibre
Have I.
I am all alone
Between failure
And frustration.
I am the red thread
Between Nothingness
And Eternity.
Sri Chinmoy, The caged bird and the uncaged bird, Agni Press, 1998
