the powerful image of the monkey god-
Lord Hanuman.
As every holy bead rolled over
by the devout finger
of a spiritual mind
gathering symbolic vibrations
of love, devotion and grace.
The mace,
the mountain,
the leaping image over lake and fountain
only strengthened
faith wound around
beautiful beads of belief.
I hold the rosary
in my trusting twines
of twirling thought
only to discover the Lord!

this was beautiful. I could feel the texture of the rosary. Nice :)
"I hold the rosary in my trusting twines of twirling thought only to discover the Lord!" Striking words. Wonderful thoughts. Very well written.
I like that you saw the spirituality of the rosary in the beads. Lovely.
am sending this link to my Mother.
so much beauty in such a simple thing.
I love the way this flows. It's so smooth. Lovely.
But which Lord? Shiva? Vishnu? Jesus? Mahommed?
a fitting magpie,
well put.
Thanks Little Hat. But didn't you read the poem fully. I have mentioned Lord Hanuman in the very beginning of the verse.

Thanks Jingle.
Thanks dear Nadi. That's a real compliment.
Thanks Willow. Yes, the rosary can make us feel the devotion for any form of God as long as the devotion is there...
Thanks Kind Spirit. For your kind words and comments....
Thanks Caty. Nice you could feel through the words of the poem...
"faith wound around beautiful beads of belief" very poetic, Shail. The poem is great. on this day of Hanumath Jeyanthi you have paid real tributes to the very symbol of love.
somebody told me that Ramar still owes to Hanuman. and that Rama's debt will never be repaid, unless and until Hanuman marries somebody and that somebody is carried away by somebody else and Ramar helps him to rescue his wife. As Hanuman is by definition a bachelor the Lord is forever indebted to him.
So nice of you to comment Sridhar. Was looking forward to it.
Yes, not just Lord Rama, the whole of humanity is indebted to Lord Hanuman for eternity.
We don't seem to be learning from good human beings. I think it is high time we start learning from the gods about devotion and love for humanity.....
