Senses become the tool

To transcend into, the consciousness

Where there is nothing but a strong sense

Of perceiving what is dwelling within –

Cultivating awareness;

Altering between being completely present

and being withdrawn, absent

in the next moment,

‘Maya’ reveals the great play –

Of presence and absence

When the cosmos is captured within a speck.
