Beginnings

 

PART I

 

I prayed for you and you came.

You drew me in like a moth to a flame.

With your beautiful way of bizarre

You were every beat of my heart.

 

With every stroke, dash, and prose,

You became the poet of my soul,

You spoke of truth and love divine,

And in my heart became enshrined.

 

I with no mind to debut,

Thoughts of ever meeting were few.

Three summers came to pass,

And on the fourth we meet alas.

 

There was a burning in my soul,

A blaze that burned out of control,

Day by day Intensifying,

Your provoking there’s no denying.

 

On a journey to your door,

As I set out to explore

What it was in our meeting that I’d find

Driving on as the world falls behind me.

 

 

PART II

 

Thoughts were stretched across my mind

Bout’ how our lives would become entwined,

I arrived - walked through the door,

Before the hall - shoes on the floor.

 

Into the entrance hall - stepped through,

Finally making my debut,

“Your home” my heart melts,

With all the serenity I felt.

 

All tranquility seeps in,

As my journey to you begins,

And I creep up to your chair,

Setting eyes upon on you there.

 

Tears roll down my face,

As I watch you embrace,

Child after child like your own,

And suddenly my heart cries “Your home!”

 

Emotion keep rushing through,

After hours of watching you,

And I - with eagle eyes,

Try to glimpse at your disguise.

 

A gesture here, a flourish there,

A drink, a cough, a laugh – beware,

My mind kicked, screamed and fought,

As I became very deep in thought“

 

“This is not God! This is all wrong!

How long will this go on?!”

My mind immersed in erratic doubt,

Trying to figure out what you’re all about.

 

My heart it understood,

That you were pure hearted and good,

My mind was reluctant to agree,

And I went in search of a place just to be.

 

 

PART III

 

I went to sleep a few hours that night,

Up above you, out of sight,

Bhajans playing loudly down below,

As I drifted off to sleep ever so.

 

When I awoke two hours hence,

I came to sit along the fence,

Down below you still embraced another child,

And your face looked up at me – a gleaming smile.

 

It was then my mind and heart,

Latched onto all that you impart,

As tears sprawled down my face and sleepy cheek,

Not a single word for me to speak.

 

You took my voice and thoughts away,

Who could sit there like that all day?

No break, no rest or yawn for me to see,

It was then my mind and heart did believed.

 

God in a white robed disguise,

A guru all-knowing and wise,

I was born again on this very day,

The moment that you looked my very way!

 

Something simple bout’ you there,

With your wild Kali hair,

Strewn around your face all aglow,

As you embrace each and every tiny soul.

 

How I behold all you impart,

From any other – set apart,

With all the love and compassion you imbue,

There could never be another just like you.

 

You’re a special gift to all those who see,

How you’ve conquered the world’s seven seas,

Our million hearts and minds in awe of you,

As you show us to the way of Eternal Truth.

 

Ever at Your Holy Feet Amma –
