Sri Rama Jayam

Evokes chanting of my 'RamRam'
Picking up Pavalamalli flowers at 6a.m
A good day ahead

My regular counts of SriRamajayam
After a hectic kitchen record at 9.30a.m
Inking out in words in a note book

And on a day of submission...

'Before pooja almirah supporting me a mat-seater
My concentration grips Rama better
Although bossing over my anger to fade out

As the maid keeps sweeping
Dust from the broom splattering
Without a divine heart for the sacred book

I say sorry to Rama

Chuck out myself of the room
To make coffee for the lady-broom
And give up not; I further continue with Rama

Sitting in the chair in the porch in silence
A while later hubby next glances
Brunch ready?

Rush to the dining table
Hubby relishes his pappads crumble
Hmm.. I say sorry to Rama

Back to pooja almirah
Sit up to pursue Rama
But oops, a phone call

Daughter! And hubby is hysterical
Me too driven towards grand-son's prattle
Forget myself and quite unaware

But soon conscience pricks
Work be soon finished for Rama's blessing looks
Should submit it to the Lord

I say sorry to Rama

Sit back to my writing
Lunch time past; Yet mind not skipping
Write and write on

Rama must be invisibly looking at me
My hope, Anjaneya recommends me
By 4p.m complete my work

March on to the temple
Hand over my book so humble
Pray with closed eyes

Finally blessed with ' prasadh' when awake.
But lo, the wrapper to shake
A piece of Ramajayam-paper...
I look at the Lord so puzzled
But He, smiling as He ever has stood
