Zzzzzz The cosmic sleep of Sri Vishnu. Letter Z of the # a to z challenge.

You sleep on the primordial waters of chaos

The Ksheerasagara- ocean of milk

Transcendantal consciousness that is Brahman

Every potentiality stays poised within you.

Ananta Shayana meaning one who rests

Atop the infinite Shesha Naaga*

Omni present- omni potent

Creator of the creative urge that is Brahma*

All pervasive, ever present.

We look all over- in any

Nook of the cosmos- any 

Other cosmos it is you, it is You.

All of us in you and you in us

This is how it is, for it is you- that

Resides in this shell, as the light and 

Airy element, that which escapes

When the rest of us falls to dust 

Back to you, the energy that runs everything.

You, that defies description

And we that love forms

We make such a pair

You, manifestation of everything beautiful

We that run after shadows

Give us a pinch of your cosmic sleep

Oh lord, so we float above the ocean

We live in, detached as much as needed

Poised within ourselves, in touch

With the infinity inside our own self.
