Salutations To The Heavenly Father Poem by Ramesh Joshi

SALUTATIONS TO THE HEAVENLY FATHER.
Salutations to the father, the light of heaven,
Circle round, the celestial light circumabulating
The circumference axis round the universe.
Pray thy grace to shine in cavity of this mortal coil.

My father, you are my light, radiance that shines
Within, the mighty spirit, keeping body warm,
Breathing in my breath, living life, moving, joing
Crying, feeling, thinking thoughts inspiring lovely.

With you my life begins and ends, with you my fate
Sojourns in prosperity and adversity, both linked alike,
A mirror, that shines your reflection, a spark out spread
In all animate and inanimate things, dove like wings around.

What need I more than the fortune you favoured dwelling
Within this mortal coil free from worldly bondage to escape?
