The surf and swell of the roaring main 
Stilled my mind to a serene hush.
A waveless peace reigned within

My inside was a tuneful tide.
Its riot lost in the breaker's rush
Little knew what without betide.

Could swirling waters tranquillise 
To anchor the racing mind's gush.
I rarely ere could realise -

A silence in the sounding waves 
My ceaseless coiling flushed
In whelming tide it no more raves

What puzzle and wonder it is 
That the fret and fume and the dash 
Of rollers could gift a profound peace

To me it was all clear at once
God Siva' s notching bliss of hush 
Melts into waves of jigging trance 
A waveless peace reigned within.
