The cycle continues

Dawn arrives, dusk falls, night escapes,

The darkness leaves,

And the light beckons.

Creation and destruction

Taking place in every moment

As if the universe is floating

within the womb of another universe –

Sometimes appears, sometimes vanishes,

Altering its purpose

Between duality and oneness.

    A beautifully meditative piece, Swarnali. It really captures that deep, cosmic rhythm of beginnings and endings. I love how it moves from something so simple—dawn and dusk—to something vast and philosophical. Makes you pause and reflect.

    Very well presented, Swarnali. Duality makes it one; the divine masculine and the divine feminine have to balance each other. There’s no dark without light and light without dark.

    True the light and dark are different sides of the same coin , the duality becoming one to let the universe function , to let the cycle continue.Wonderfully expressed Swarna!

    Like the waves of the ocean rise and fall,
    And the sun makes our day and night,
    And our mood shift-sometimes calm, sometimes agitated.

    Your way of illustrating yin and yang is truly captivating.
