Miracle of Divinity!

Krishna, how you tingle the senses
like you did with the gopis;
one moment you are there,
another, you disappear.
Is it an illusion?
Are you not here and there-
Everywhere, omnipresent?
Then, why do some days
brighten with your glimmering rays
while some are clouded by your hurting absence?

Your word is a lesson.
Your persona life itself.
As I search for you
hither and thither
among brook and stream,
while awake and in dream
your peacock-feather crown,
the soul stirring notes from your flute
sway me away
rocking me to and fro
and then, I know -
You are always there
In my life's voyage.
I see You Krishna.
I see You holding the row of my sail,

always and ever in sunshine and in gale!

Rosary of Belief

The rosary curtained the little locket,
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!


Magpie Tales

Dust on the Soul

For This Week's One Shot Wednesday..

The early morning rays of the sun

splash my countenance

and I am awakened

out of my ignorant stupor.

Scores of queries

buried deep

in the squalor of a laid back existence

begin to torture my very soul.

"What is writ in my destiny?"

"Why can't I see beyond the fog of life?"

Some incomplete goal

lies awaiting my knock

on its beckoning door

and I am helpless

oblivious of that window

 to hope and fulfillment.

Cobwebs of ignorance,

dust of arrogance

lie untouched

wrenching my sudden thoughts

of reflection and realization.

Oh God! I beseech You

To show me the Way!
