Your Name My Sanctuary Poem by Raman Savithiri

Thoughts the vicious eagles chase after,
My soul the pigeon with wings flutter,
Your name is the sanctuary to surrender!

Neither my home of relatives nest
Nor my husband’s handsome chest
Give me rest as Your name, the best!

Within my mind deeper than the dark marine,
Defeating sun, there shines sweet name Thine,
Defending me from hazards of mind mine!

As a worker’s body needs to be cleaned by water,
My spinning mind’s dirt accumulated as gutter,
Melts away before Your name flame, as butter!

As single bullet shatters birds many or more
Your only name is enough from mind core
To drive away all thoughts helter shelter!
