621. Heart – Is It Fruit Or Flower? Poem by Raman Savithiri

Absolutely no problem to offer
Unto Your blossom feet
A fresh fragrant flower
With little effort - it
Came off its plant

Absolutely no problem to offer
Into Your lotus palm
A sweet smelling fruit
With little effort - it
Came off its tree

But…..
Hardly I am skilled
To pluck my heart from its
Worldly ties to offer to You

Absolutely no problem to offer
A ghee lamp at Your side
With a help of glass
The flam is kept up
One pointed with little smoke

Alas! How can I make mind
One pointed to You?
It is like the fumes in wind
As they raise to spread out
From nice incense sticks!
