Clouds after clouds come,
and so does melody after melody.
I do not know You,
and yet, You keep coming
and again floating away.
You love only from a distance,
come close to me in person.
You look on with loving eyes,
and play with sweet ankle bells.
You are the great consciousness in the universe
whereas I am but a small balloon in the realm of thought.
I keep on burning in the lamp of time
maintaining an unknown stream compressed in my heart.
