Weighed down by the Guna Tamas
Stuporousness and animus
Veil of darkness shrouding the light
Dispelled by soul’s light, luminous
Desires quelled, heart lotus shines bright
Suffused with bliss through day and night
Holding still, mindful attention
Acquiring thus, spherical sight
Soul centric orientation
Our pristine heart’s meditation
Awareness always self-aware
In vibrant void of cessation

“God is bigger than COVID-19”… indeed
such is my philosophy, propped by faith’s creed
upholding me against attacking fear angst
enabling spirit’s functionality-breed.
“God is bigger than COVID-19” … shouts heart
though body ails till last breath tells time to part
midst grief of those left behind, yet comforted
toward next serene blissful triumphant start.
“God is bigger than COVID-19” … grips soul
echoing Saviour’s presence even at hardship’s pole
reaching-out still despite lockdown challenges
adorned with face mask, fulfilling life-building role.
“God is bigger than COVID-19”… so true
prevailing over crisis by trust’s breakthrough
for hope’s immune system to stay tenacious
against doubt-virus with its fatal gloom-view.
“God is bigger than COVID-19” … my praise
echoing thanksgiving to the Lord always
witnessing His grace and miraculous might
that protect, save, heal; while eyes to heaven gaze.
“God is bigger than COVID-19”… for sure!
proven midst pandemic the world should endure
showing the great control of the Sovereign
inspiring the frontliners with their love-cure.
*Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
