Krish Radhakrishna Poet Haibun

Faith and God

Dusting through the aisles to the alter, reverend father reflected on the society at war and the many factions that fought over the same god, dust unto dust, he smiled at the neglect  of his place of worship.Religion alters how God is perceived and worshipped but not His true identity!

from om* to amen
from azaan* to the iftaar*
flow rivers of faith!

Om*  The Hindu word for trinity creator, preserver and destroyer - starts with ‘O’ with mouth open signifying creation, the ‘oooh’ sound continues showing preservation and m ends by closing the mouth and the sound - End. The entire universe depicted in that single word

Azaan* is the Muslim call for prayer 
Iftaar* is the evening meal with prayer during Ramadan.
