____________________________
The languishing life with future tentative in tormenting time,
writhes in its crushing clutch of stifling suffering,
the bearing of the being breaks and bleeds in pining pain,
finds the stretch of no solacing arms to dedicatedly grasp.
As the boat wrecks in the tempest of toiling agony,
the marooned mariner seeks shelter in the shore not in sight,
someone from within tells him to be detached and see
palliative hope rise like the sun after the miserable night.
When the dark dungeon of the inflicted mortal suffering
gets filled with melancholic miasma of desolate despair,
it needs to be lighted with the candle of unfaultering faith,
illumined incessantly by the generous grace of God.
As in the encompassing inner emptiness of ethereal solitude,
the essence of awareness unfurls the petals of the lotus soul,
the template of tranquility begins to liquefy and pour
in the morphed mind as the soothing shower of bliss.
Under the new acuity sky emerging from the gloom of grey,
in the garden of piety blooms the essence of consciousness,
where within divine air in the perceptive devotion flight,
the servile spirit set free from the ailing body soars high.
