Every day I change, every day I am new,

Bit by bit, I can sense within;

This novel fearlessness,

Which is confounding no more.

Nobody may notice, they don’t need to,

Not just yet, not until they change too.

 

No more do I wake up to clueless mornings,

Easily remain happy most of the day;

Only fortnights ago, I had been someone else,

But revolutions happen.

And now I’ve found love,

Not in a person, not in a skill alone;

But irrevocably have found love,

And become love,

Become bliss, become glow.

 

I still cry, but out of delight,

Out of gratitude for this new found freedom.

Must have done something right,

To have experienced this;

This, which is so complete,

So vast, so overwhelming;

This which words can only warp,

Which logic can only limit.

 

I am not this body, not this mind alone;

For them I notwithstanding care,

But they do not define me anymore,

Because they are projections,

And I am whole.

Nobody may notice, they don’t need to,

Not just yet, not until they change too.

                                                                                           

Just as before, I appear to function,

But with such verve I had never known.

Suddenly all seems right,

And nothing unjust, nothing imperfect;

Words of reason only to be built later -

Now I need those words no more;

Words that build walls of constraints,

Constraints to pure spontaneity of action,

Walls of ignorance that grace has collapsed;

And now I am filled with gratitude,

Gratitude for the divine,

To whom I owe my all.

For he has transformed me forever,

Transformed this vagabond into a channel of abundance,

Abundance of overlooked facets I had held within.

Nobody may notice, they don’t need to,

Not just yet, not until they change too.

 

And this state of energy, I don’t adhere to either;

Because now it is one with me -

 

And the cipher has been met.
