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
