I had a wordless tryst with him...
He was a saint immerged in peace;
His face no brush can ever limn.
He was a breathless sky of calm;
I flew into its depth of peace.
Above the earth of raging storm.
A far hamlet of hoary dust,
With bowing boughs of tall green trees
I came to, driven by the gust
Of questing passion for the truth,
That, undefined, does always tease
The mind into a roving wrath.
Debate could never the puzzle solve,
Only confusions new would seize
And round and round once more revolve
Till floating on I came to him.
Then did my depthless coiling cease,
Hushed to a bliss of bracing beam.
His face no brush can ever limn.
