Vision: 2 Poem by Praveen Kumar in Celestial Glow

Keep me still
And graciously full
In gentle ways,
And never waver
From regard to all,
They be all evil,
Unkind and wild.

Teach me skills
To handle evils
And turn to angels,
Turn their focus
To right and wrong
To see themselves
Why they are wrong.

Suffer me oft
And draw on dust,
Lift me up
To float on sky -
To know in full
What life is,
Its depth and height.

Gnaw me unkindly
To consistent paste
That rhymes to all,
Attuned always
To left and right
In perfect symphony
Of divine music.

Fight me hard
Till I give up
Unfair desires
That hurt others,
That unjustly invests
Me with booties
I do not deserve.

Call me towards
While oblivious I go
Of what and why
Of life’s course,
And run rat-race
To wrong goal-posts,
And bring me to path.

Lift me above
Common faults
Almost all suffer,
Give me sight
To discern merits
And keep steadfast
On right moves.

Feel my beats,
The truth inside
Of my moves,
When I err
While seeking good,
Show me mercy
And kindly guide.

Resist me always
And bring to knee
When I do wrong
And pursue the route
In undue logic,
Give me insight
Why I went wrong.
