From my brush to my canvas,
My pen to my verses,
I created You,
In my likeness.
You are the mountain mighty,
And the blade of grass,
You are the whole,
As also the part.
You are the body,
You are the soul,
You are the symphony,
You are the notes.
The ocean you are,
And the drop tiny,
You are Yourself,
And you are Me.
The life of my painting,
The soul of my verses,
You are love,
You are bliss,
Pure Consciousness,
One with the Universe.
About Alma
Alma is a work of fusion, with poetry by Preeta Chandran and painting by Pankaj Kumar Saxena. It was first featured in their book, The Painted Verse. Alma is all about the interconnectedness of everything in the Universe. It reflects the same belief as one of the four Mahavakyas used to explain the macrocosm and the microcosm in our Upanishads, ‘Aham Brahmasmi’ or, I am the Absolute. Thus, we each are the absolute, we each are interconnected.
