O R B I T Poem by Kishore Kumar Das

Soon after birth
one moves in an orbit
around the Almighty
the orbit changes
every now and then
its shape also changes:
neither circular
nor elliptical
but in a zigzag path
as determined by mind
with the passage of time
mind travels millions of miles
in different orbits
filled with obstacles
and restless mind pushing through
sometimes He is near
sometimes He is far
when He is far
one needs to be reminded
this awareness is enough!
the present orbit is of interest to me....
to align with my natural style
the path of peace
the journey of love
for He has allowed me
to exist in this orbit.
