In Search Of God

Rating: 5.0


Alone am I
I was a mind
when I reached my teens
then I wondered
where is my father.
Up in the blues
as the stars shone
when the earth slept
and silence spread
then I was awake
searching for your steps
I harkened your music
when the wind blew
through the woods and land
I tasted you in every new fruit
and smelt your perfume
in every buttercup
yet My God, I wanted to see you
Alas! I could not find you
among the crowd of men
who gathered around me
whereever I went
in the form of fools, dictators and impostors
I slept; but they took me
my child of night it cried
shaking my motherhood strongly
I was sad, extremely sad
I yearned to see u
to meet you I came to temples and churches
to synagogues and mosques
Oh! no, you were not there
empty hearted I returned
in this world of physical affinities
I alone hankered for aphysical entity
All alone crazily, still I wander
in my thoughts from hills and vales
to pilgrimage centres and palaces
from moon to sun, wherever my sight could enter
I looked for you, I ached for you, I sang for you
But you never come.
