What
will You Do When I am Gone
When
the sky shines blue
And
a tremulous and luscious breeze is afloat
And
when an evening lifts up into an ethereal mood,
Do
not think of me but pay homage to the majesty of nature,
When
the intimations of spring steal through winter
And
hope rushes and stands on insubstantial ground,
Delight
in tomorrow to be,
Let
faith cross the chasms.
Each
daybreak is a faith that God thinks of us,
Each
heartbeat is a tribute to his work.
Life
is a boat sailing on the heaving bosom of nature,
Its
glory is transcendent.
The
churn of the day to day worldly turmoil
Is
a distraction to the spirit of man.
Each
worldly involvement is a moment lost
In
the pursuit of the eternal.
Take
the world in a detached way,
Never
surrendering your freedom and peace.
Live
for larger than life goals,
Keeping
in view the grandeur of life.
Touch
the ills of the world,
Reduce
a little of its sorrow,
Ease
a trifle of its burden,
Redeem
a sliver of its natural glory.
My
life came to its natural end,
A
long journey’s just culmination.
It
crossed your path,
But
your way must remain undeflected.
Let
my shadow not mar your light,
My
history create detours in your plans.
Live
for your dreams,
Past
will settle by itself.
Do
not burden yourself with my absence –
I
belong now to the particles of the universe.
Afloat
in its timelessness,
Part
of its immensity.
I
am with you all the time.
You
can see me in the gusts of breeze
Greeting
the wild flowers,
In
blueness of the sky on a clear bright day.
I
am in the drops of a rain falling torrentially
After
a long sultry day.
In
the mysterious calm of a lake;
In
the silence on the high mountaintops.
We
are bound by eternal love -
The
one that does not know the world.
Propelled
by its own engine;
It
seeks a God unknown.
