Babul

Babul..this entity figures in my life, in three different roles..first,
the biological father..then the Spiritual Guru…and then the Divinity
HImself, whom we all seek….this poem is addressed to all three forms
of the same entity….while it does not fulfil the requirements of the
Poetry form…i leave it without editing, lest the essence be lost..

when I first woke up  to this world..

to the blinding sunshine around me

to the cacophony of noises

that baffled me…

to the long path ahead of me….

ur re-assuring kiss on my forehead,

did help me open mine eyes ..

i had my first glimpse of the world

u held my little hands in urs

the warmth frm ur heart, flowing into mine

weened me frm that other world, into urs…

evr so close to ur heart hv u held me ever since….

walked with me

every little step

till little by little,

did i start running, the race that is life….

not once looking back..

secure in the knowledge

that ur eyes followed me everywhere…

many a times did I trip

u cheered me up..

till I did get up…

when wounds ravaged my heart

and my soul screamed with pain..

it was ur chest that afforded me a place

to  rest my weary head

ur laughter rang out loudest

when u danced  to the tune my heart sang

filling our  world with music….

that gave me wings to fly….

high up did I soar…

with wild  ecstacy, exploring the skies….

till I met that divinity,

whose expression u are..

now I rest my weary soul

once again, in ur arms…

that u may lay ur hand upon mine

and   calm the storm within

the lava seeks its way out..

to empty me of its heat

i need you more than ever, now

for u r my sole refuge

 the eternal bliss I find , at ur feet……

is nowhere else to be found

here it is I shall rest awhile..

till  ur loving embrace shall ever so gently

 lead me to  the Source, frm whence I came
