He Rowed Me Into Oblivion Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore
He Rowed Me Into Oblivion
I stood all alone
on my shore
as the moon shone.
My eyes were closed
In a mystified mood.
My heart was filled
with the joy of silence.
I heard the music of silence
deep down in my soul.
God came to my shore
In his boat rowing silently.
I heard the silent sounds
of the ripples as God came.
I opened my closed eyelids.
God nodded inviting me to his boat.
As if pushed by someone behind me
I went and stepped into his boat.
He rowed silently.
It was a soul consoling silence.
We went far away from my shore.
I turned back and saw my shore
far, far away moving away from me
in constant rhythms of the ripples
created by Him while rowing.
All the way down to the center
of the sea where waves did not move
I felt the soft mild wind talking to me
heavenly things which I did not understand.
He rowed and rowed,
did not talk a word.
I heard only his breath.
He looked at me
I looked at him.
He smiled
I smiled.
He rowed and rowed
me away from my shore.
I could not see my shore anymore.
I was all alone with Him.
Suddenly i felt his love
like the petals of devataru.
He smiled.
I smiled.
Tears fell from my eyes.
I saw his tears too.
He rowed and rowed
in silence that pierced my soul
into oblivion.

A death dream expressed in very poetic language, calm, soothing, accepting.... eloquently written.
i had a similar dream about my Dad whom died three years old only it was his green car
this poem gives me the freedom to open up to him and accept me
Very gripping and at the same time peaceful, as if one was following you in your journey. An amazing poem.
A beautiful verse, so calm and serene and with a very realistic portrayal of what it must be like to be in God's presence. Very fine imagery.
Wow.. Amazing and soothing. The imagery here is perfec Suddenly i felt his love like the petals of devataru This was my most favourite. Your write is spiritually uplifting.
The dream on God and Nature is so touchingly delineated. I quote.... I opened my closed eyelids./ God nodded inviting me to his boat./ As if pushed by someone behind me / I went and stepped into his boat. A brilliant poem. Full vote.
A strange but fascinating dream of a devout personality whom God himself take away across the sea of odd experiences in a boat of spirituality. I have heard of many people's experiences how they travelled to the world of death. But this one is special, very dearly taken care by God himself. The emotion is well conveyed. Thank you....10
