My Offerings To My Lord

(Inspired by 'Gitanjali' by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore) In the seamless sea of eternity, when life's hassles churn my mind, my Lord, and a note of discord creeps into the soft rhythm of it's calm waves, in devotion, I close my faithful eyes, to see Your formless form: a lustre, mystic, from gems precious flashes on my mind's eyes and I get a glimpse of those radiant gems: love and peace as they slowly arise from my mind's seabed, through its billows. I let these gems to dwell and sparkle in my mind - I feel love and peace... When my mind wandered in the pitch darkness of ignorance, You gave me the insight to see the light of my own soul - still, my mind yearns to be the last loose knit barb of the beautiful peacock feather that adorns your crown. In my dream, as I breathe in the pulsating air of a gently wafting flute tune, I hear You, my Lord, and yearn to treasure Your tune in the vibrance of my breath.. Kindly accept my offerings my Lord: these simple, naive words of prayer although they are in fragments, like the playful scribbles of a child on a wall... Note: 1) Peacock feather: Here, it signifies the peacock feather that always adorns Lord Krishna's crown. 2) Flute Tune: In Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna is always pictured as a cowherd boy with a crown of peacock's feather and as playing His divine flute.
