The two forces of mind and prana maintain the rhythm of life and consciousness. Everything in the universe is evolving. Matter in its ultimate form is energy. The goal of yoga is to turn the body into solid energy. – Hatha Yoga Pradipika

Poetry

 

The Bridge

 

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 

I stood on the bridge at midnight,

As the clocks were striking the hour,

And the moon rose o'er the city,

Behind the dark church-tower.

 

I saw her bright reflection

In the waters under me,

Like a golden goblet falling

And sinking into the sea.

 

And far in the hazy distance

Of that lovely night in June,

The blaze of the flaming furnace

Gleamed redder than the moon.

 

Among the long, black rafters

The wavering shadows lay,

And the current that came from the ocean

Seemed to lift and bear them away;

 

As, sweeping and eddying through them,

Rose the belated tide,

And, streaming into the moonlight, 

The seaweed floated wide.

 

And like those waters rushing
Among the wooden piers,
A flood of thoughts came o'er me
That filled my eyes with tears.

   

How often, oh, how often,
In the days that had gone by,
I had stood on that bridge at midnight
And gazed on that wave and sky!

   

How often, oh, how often,
I had wished that the ebbing tide
Would bear me away on its bosom
O'er the ocean wild and wide!

   

For my heart was hot and restless,
And my life was full of care,
And the burden laid upon me
Seemed greater than I could bear.

   

But now it has fallen from me,
It is buried in the sea;
And only the sorrow of others
Throws its shadow over me

 

Yet whenever I cross the river
On its bridge with wooden piers,
Like the odor of brine from the ocean
Comes the thought of other years.

 

And I think how many thousands
Of care-encumbered men,
Each bearing his burden of sorrow,
Have crossed the bridge since then.

 

I see the long procession
Still passing to and fro,
The young heart hot and restless,
And the old subdued and slow!

 

And forever and forever,
As long as the river flows,
As long as the heart has passions,
As long as life has woes;

   

The moon and its broken reflection
And its shadows shall appear,
As the symbol of love in heaven,
And its wavering image here.

Delta Dawn

 

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on,

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?

And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today,

To take you to his mansion in the sky?

 

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby".

An' all the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy,

'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand,

Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

 

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn.

Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on.

Then a man of low degree stood by her side,

And promised her he'd take her for his bride.

 

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on,

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?

And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today,

To take you to his mansion in the sky?

(X4)
