But Bless Me Peace..!
The crystalline peace
speechlessly settling
on soft padded feet -
The bliss of solitude
of a caressing breeze-
The soulful songs of hiding birds
enhancing the magic
of the melting dusk-
The distant call of a devotional bell
lifting the soul
to the feet of god-
All that I deeply inhale
under the grand canopy of heaven
at this precise moment-
Would I experience
in same solemn glory
with the same intensity
and absolute divinity
after years roll by
in dusts of forgetfulness?
Alas!
Reckless has been my journey so far-
missed all majestic morns;
lost every evening show;
deaf to all winged songs;
thick to the kisses of loving winds-
Lo..given my all
to the sweat of wealth
and bites of worry;
O lord take my wealth
but bless me peace!
