GOD, A POETIC IMAGE

The most refreshing source of positive energy

born from the womb of imagination,

God has ever been a mystery.

Some see the force as abstract,

for some it incarnates from time to time since ages.

My God not flesh and blood is a poetic image.

My God is a poetic image, the confluence

of contemplations, dreams and perceptions,

wherein all come, feel full, meet and merge.

 

My God is a poetic image, rather a whole poem in itself

with all its cosmic connotations, transcendental,

beyond the confines of a cage, the priestly hedge.

 

Everything visible and invisible,

my God is my day, my God is my night

and all that is envisioned

in the enlightening embers of twilight

from beginning to the end and all possible beginnings.

The entire cosmos is there in the eyes of my Lord,

everything we come across:

the crescent moon and the cross,

the calmness of the ocean in meditation,

the purgatorial fire, storm,

restlessness and pangs of the creative process,

Kaal Chakra and Karma,

the sense sublime of the compassionate mind

and all that we love to find where there is Raj Dharma.

 

This amazing poetic image,

The God of the woods and wonder,

in its unifying whole uplifts the soul,

the soul intensely passionate and humble,

and makes everything beautiful,

binding us together in its love and divine splendor.
