Open the Floodgates
I chase the migrating mirage of endless desires
in the desolate desert of my weary existence,
I carry my languishing life listlessly across bleakness
on the pitiless pathway of disparaging delusion.
I wander worn down in the wasted landscape
with the deceptive awareness of bereft belonging
to the surreal ambiance of beguiling openness,
I’m caught in the whirlpool of mire of mortal being.
I strive strongly to be free from the worldly grip,
destiny designs, resulting in the loss of essence,
impelling me to break away and chart a new path,
with discernment of divine conscience guiding me.
I transcend the looming limits of space and time,
implore God to show me the way of inward journey,
for I devoutly yearn to be suffused serenely with
the patina of perpetual peace shining in the soul.
I perceive the shower of His graceful endowment,
flooding me with the aura of freedom and happiness.
I sense delighted the faithful flow of blissful divinity
inundate my inner sanctum as I open the floodgates.
