The Lady of the North

 

 

 

In the beginning, the universe was in chaos,

Nobody knew quite what to do, though all tried,

But one person lay in a quiet dream, smiling,

When asked, why she was so happy, she awoke,

And said everything was going to be all right.

So they asked, how did she know that, she smiled,

But didn't speak, her confidence calm and beguiling,

Everyone got curious. They kept a watch on her,

Smiled when she smiled, laughed and were happy,

Their enthusiasm drew the attention of many.

And the place where they were, began to glow,

As it drew every tiny ounce of light from everywhere.

It was the light in the beginning, it gave us sight,

And it brought us to the earth's experience,

Where everyone thought they were going to find/be,

That special guy that she was dreaming about.

They found him a long time ago, but goodness,

He wasn't anything they thought him to be,

And he kept mumbling something about heaven,

So everybody cultivated their own dream lover,

And for a while all was fine here on earth.

Then some issues cropped up and a problem arose,

They went to see her again and she said to regain her light,

And to understand again her original vision.

Some say its the glory, salvation or hedonistic joys.

But in recent times, a kid understood his grandpa's senility,

In it he found the answer to the riddle of life, barely,

Because very few, who survived the cracked pot,

In the grandpa's experience returned to tell the story.

I can sense her smiling again on hearing this story,

We'll have to wait, I guess. It's all off us pulling together,

To create it as the light of the beacon that guides us,

That makes it work, the same way, it was in the beginning.

In the meantime we exercise our freewill, the best way possible.

I don't know if the Lady of the North is our creator or created by us.

This must mean that we create our reality by our own interests and actions, whether we realize it or not. That we are a part of the experience. I'm reminded of the expression, ' Be still and ye shall know god.'
