The Flame of a Lamp

Placed eighth in: No. 1235 New Poem Only Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand The Flame of a Lamp It`s the flame of a lamp ever bright That guides men to the path that is always right, Brightens the dark days with its wide glowing light, Restores coveted warmth during the gloom of wanton wintry nights, Bestows strength to meet the stressful sturdy storms during the journey of life And instills vigour to tide over our daily strife. It is the flame that dispels the darkness of delusion Clears away the greyish haze of all fruitless illusions, Confers lasting peace to the knotty web of the mind And steers men on our earth real happiness to find. It is the the flame of the sacred eternal lamp That bears the mark of the divine stamp And draws its fuel from the azure sky, From the Supreme Lord up high. Let it for ever just shine bright in the depth of our heart until from life we do depart To melt in His immensity With FAITH i n --- His eternity.

Thanks Anne for your positive comments. Faith in the Supreme Lord, indeed, guides our way in life, particularly during dark days. Would He always guide man`s life on earth. Amen.
