Closeness

CLOSENESS

Closeness cannot be closed just merely by distance
Physical closeness is not so much close as reliance.
Openness does not need mouth to be always open
An open mouth may not open openness more often.

The distant sincere closeness of the seas and the Sun
Does perpetually prompt an enigmatic, ephemeral tide.
The remote conjugal closeness of the lily and the Moon
Is for all of us to acknowledge: a matter of great pride.

The indescribable closeness of a babe and its Mother
Turns the latter’s crimson blood into nectaric white.
The sacrificing closeness of the black coal and fire
Transforms the dark, gloomy ambience so bright.

The co-operating closeness of the stem and the root
Is pragmatically perceived through the sweet, juicy fruits.
The inherent closeness of the Nature and the plants
Is magically felt as huge branches grow from tiny shoots.

The incredible closeness of fire and water
Results in our delicious, scrumptious dishes.
The enviable, remote closeness is at its best
As  the sun and the lotus exchange divine kisses.

The supreme, sublime closeness is at its ecstatic acme
When the subtle soul mingles with the Super-soul.
The heavenly closeness propels all close to the goal
The hellish pretense pulls away from the object prime.
