Doing the Sufi Kaif..The Hindu way

Doing the Sufi Kaif..The Hindu way, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

Kaif is a Sufi state of Mind - a dance that takes you into a trance without being induced by drugs.

I gave my camera to the friendly photographer who took this shot..

This the two sided coin called India..

Doing the Sufi Kaif the Hindu way
At Bandra Mumbai
that was once called Bombay
your mind flies while your feet give way
trance like emotions
on your karmic soul
in a tantric way
your heart beat stops
as you pray
touching
the supreme waves
that part your way
your body lifeless husk
your feet turn clay
god within your inner self
paves the way
black and white
some shades of gray
to the sound of om
a path you trace
meeting the maker face to face
shattered dreams
resurface
holistically healing
time and space
a drop of eternity
you embrace


I dedicate this poem to Soulthrash Kowalski
