Golden Lotus Poem by Sathya Narayana

Golden Lotus

Rating: 5.0


Wandering in wilderness; my friend
What are you looking for?
The golden lotus
With thousand petals?

Look out! The Satanic flames
Are burning the woods
Reaching the tarns
Parching the waters
Leveling the lakes
To desiccated mud cakes
Razing down the paths
Off their identity
Spitting the venom of sin
Every where
But, be not skeptic my dear
For the surrounding enigma
Is just superfluous
And what is lost is not yours
Remember the truth; the path is
Eternal, naïve and nigh
In the grand finale
The search always ends within

Clear your bleary eyes
Shut them to leap
Deep into tranquility
Spread before you behold
The blossoming bed
Of flowery path
Reaching thou to the
Avowed destiny
The golden lotus
With thousand petals

Sathya….

Dear Sir, How terrific is the Satan's works in misguiding people from spiritual enlightenment was beautifully written with poetic rhythm and insight I appreciate very much. But, I feel the way to get spirtual enlightenment was not written with equal depth. I mean, the way, procedure or technique to spiritual enlightenment was not written with equal depth.
