A Poet's Prayer Poem by Deepak Calyampoondi

Words refuse to flow out of me,
They await an inspiring soul,
I am waiting to fly,
with the wings of your inspiration...

I find myself trapped in a jungle,
Every step i take goes wrong,
I need to see through the darkness within,
I need a fire from your enthusiasm...

My shoulders droop, head held down,
Every step i take goes wrong,
The gift of knowledge is what i lack,
I need a lift by your encouraging hand...

I saddle a horse and it shies away,
Every step i take goes wrong,
I need balance of mind,
Give me peace and happiness from
Your everlasting soul...
