Inner Sanctuary Poem by Jayita Bhattacharjee

In the temple of sacred devotion in my heart,
I light a burning lamp of enlightenment;
In the depths of my soul,
The commingled oil yearns to seek thy vision.

Emerges a soaring of perfumed incense of longing,
To bow at the altar of thy immortality;
Our sacred prayers are glistening in the presence of thy Omnipotent vision,
As God's love embraces humanity and speaks the one holy language,
Language of the flowering heart.

With a bouquet of devotion hued soul whispers,
Emerges an ineffable joy of plunging;
In your sea of transcending, perennial beauty,
We mortals seek to be enfolded in thy sheltering love,
As thy heart throbs of a universal, all-encompassing love.

We are the petals of thy all-embracing tenderness,
Thou art the flower of universal love,
Who floods our souls with the fragrance of divinity;

We awaken into spiritualized mortals,
Illuminating with the wisdom of thy manifestation;
As we adorn ourselves with the pearls of thy omnipotence,
We enlightened mortals pass though portals of oneness love,
Wherein lies the myriad of hues of multi faith, multi religion.

Placing an aromatic bouquet of multi beliefs hued with veneration,
At the altar of thy lotus feet, the rarest rubies of thy love,
Dazzlingly embellish our bodies; clustered to encircle our neck,
That shines with a radiance of thy kindness.

Ages of our ignorance dissolve in thy light,
Awakening from the slumbers of pain,
I find myself garlanded with blessings;


The smoldering wicks of our quest turn to the
Blazes of heart melted yearnings,
To behold thy universal omnipotent presence.

Our souls crave to unlatch the sacred gateway,
Leading to the temple of liberation and ultimate salvation;
The bird of our eternal spirit soars freely,
In the aura of an azure firmament,
To sing a universal song of a heart melting oneness....
