The Faith
Moments in digression passed,
Timeless time spent, misspent,
The path of life on crossroads muddled,
Reason withheld, judgement befogged.
Encountering the hurdles abound,
Paving way with all his might,
Stumbling, rising, mounting, soaring,
The serpentine course of life meandering.
Failing each moment, desires unfulfilled,
Climbing the ladder, stumbling on each rung,
Foundering, alighting; the being in hardships stuck,
Each loss a reminder, each fall a blow.
The mind, the intellect failed to respond,
All seemed lost, all appeared drowned,
Drowned in the ocean deep; sorrows profound,
The darkest clouds, no silver lining discerned.
Nor amity, nor seclusion, no solace accompanied,
Unfathomable grief manifold heightened,
Hapless being in vain thus strived,
All recourse failed, all paths hence sealed.
Whence burdened life trammelled reason,
Once an erudite, no more a sagacious being,
Thence an angel, a Heaven-sent soul came to light,
All dolour, all obstacles paved way.
For a path of Faith, of Surrender, of Love,
Love unconditional, an indubitable truth,
The ego surrendered on Lotus-feet,
The being’s shaking hand held and clasped.
A Force manifested deep within,
Casted a light with alacrity filled,
The being, the earthling once in darkness lost,
Presently an exuberant, an enlightened soul.
The perpetual, the eternal extant truth,
The Divine Will prevails!
The credence, the gratitude deepens with moments passed,
Unshaken remains THE FAITH!
