Invocation

INVOCATION

Echo of the ringing bells
Flying across the valley
Through the forest canopy
And rush in the misty sky 
To kiss the blue mountain range 
Entreaty move towards from the sanctum
Follow the twisting sound of bells 
And conceal the  
murmuring wishes of devotees
Incantation deemed all requests
Supplications based on diverse aspirations

Devotees scrutinized the orator
And they see the red costumes 
and gleaming gold like ornaments
Worn by the orator
But the powerful benevolent god
Disguised beyond the blue wall hanging 
Broken love, family unrest, lost of valuables 
To be found
And aspirations that does not fulfil yet
For a better livelihood 
Punish those who loot valuables 
Oblations and offerings place in the orator’s hand
The effect of the results unquestionable
Thus devotees are satisfied
And return dreaming the future success   
Orator too satisfied about the god’s share
