A visit To Batu Caves
Hitherto visits to the six abodes
And all else seemed not sufficient
Dusty heart started sneezing sick
Signaled for His brand of cleanser
As earlier trip so to Batu failed
Undone heart vowed now a visit
Fourhundred million years' strength
However could support me climb well
Those twohundred and seventytwo steps
Began saluting Him from His Holy feet
Chandan-gold He stood there handsome
Much kind ready to adore me heartily
Mindless to leave from His pleasance
Halted my heart and soul timeless
But soon heard 'hurry up, hurry up'
More handsome my husband from that end
Readily He kicked me to reach him fast
To fall unto His feet therein we both
Lord was His usual look proven godly
In His usual den of that unusual cave
He creates, He protects, my mind inferred
At the sight of His expanse all around
Those patterned Stalactites, stalagmites
A charm ineffable uttering 'we are His'
A silent subdued beauty I got imbued with
My usual secret link with Him in solitude
A pristine breath melodizing innerly new
Life of whole yuga seemed salved heavenly
Temple crowd has never disturbed me at all
But those monkeys..! ending us from moving
Intruded on our way.We couldn't, we stopped
Valli, Devasena albeit waiting still up high
Those steps steep and high up and up man's
But His are many more in furtherance unseen
Down the hill waiting high and handsome He
Stroked in hush 'I decide your time blest'
