1995-0000 Poem ‘The Traveler’ by Călin Costian from 1995-0000 Sudarshan, Spring Review, Page 5

I have been across the widest skies
Swimming through the fire of the Sun
Touching the heart of the Moon
With my arms spread to embrace the Universe
I have reached the farthest stars and galaxies
Traveled throughout the worlds and ages
Encompassing Time and Space
And everywhere I have found Your resplending Lotus Feet
Their dust creating whirling universes.

I have ben inside the nectar of the flower
Floating in the sap of the grass blade,
Playing in frolics amongst the merry molecules
I have penetrated the ultimate heart of the atoms
And touched the aerial garments of the seven Colours
And inside the innermost essence of all things
I have found the Splendour of Your shining Feet
Adorned by the light of the gems
Of which Nature's diadem is made.

I have penetrated the essence of the mind
I have gone beyond knowledge and ignorance
To reach the nature of Truth
And inside the light of its heart
I have found You, Shri Mother, gracefully smiling in peaceful joy
Protecting and nourishing the whole Creation,
Having the Great Illusion as the cushion under Your feet
And Reality as Your throne.
I have been a traveler of the worlds and ages
And now I have returned home.
