From my heart rises an incessant cry
Like a stormy wind gaining in force and fury
With every passing moment, it becomes a tumultuous roar
And falls in my ears loud and clear
“I want Thee, My God and My Lord
I want none but Thee”
Enter the soundlessness of my being
Transmute my silence into sheer joy
Play on my tight strung sitar strings
And fill the eerie silence with euphonic melody
Be with me, not before or behind
But by my side and all around
I wait here with my lamp lit and burning
Expectant and anxious, in this murky gloom
Come to me as a puff of fresh air
Fall on me as a shower of mercy
Enthrall me with a burst of song
And drown my weary soul in heavenly music
Come to me snapping the binding wires of sin
Talk to me dissolving the gloom of doubt
Convert my world which is now a vast arid waste
With new life burgeoning in every parched nook
Sweep away the clouds of gloom hovering my soul
And fill it with sunshine, luminous and bright
Perchance if you leave me one day
Let the loud lunged pitch of your voice
Keep ringing in my ears as supernal music
And your definitive striking image
Keep flashing in my inward eye
So that I will not walk into night
Or dread the fall of gloom!
Madam Valsa, I have written a poem titled COME TO OUR ARID LANDS in response to this submission of yours. As you cannot forget Him, I think I cannot forget to remind Him of His duties... Thank you for sowing the seed of thought on the website.
Thank you Sunprincess for this lovely comment! I feel, He is glorified! !
Enthrall me with a burst of song And drown my weary soul in heavenly music Beautiful is the yearning!
Joining you in this heart-felt prayer: Sweep away the clouds of gloom hovering my soul And fill it with sunshine, luminous and bright... beautiful and spiritual!
I love to believe in God and love does not need any argument, any logic or any proof. A lovely write that touched the heart.
valsa, glancing at the comments a bit, it is obvious that religion will elicit quite a response, though responses may oppose one another. assuming this poem is a heartfelt creation of yours, i will simply say that i think it has quite a bit of merit as a poem. of course you could have used more lowly words that this lowly poet would be more familiar with! (i'm mostly kidding with that last sentence) . why would God leave you? i don't understand that part so well. and i think [i have to always be picky, you know] over should be put between hovering and my soul. thanks for sharing. :) bri

Perchance if you leave me one day Let the loud lunged pitch of your voice Keep ringing in my ears as supernal music And your definitive striking image Keep flashing in my inward eye So that I will not walk into night Or dread the fall of gloom! , , , , , nkice poem, , , ,
