PEACEFUL MOMENTS

distressed.... in despair,

I stretched my two hands,

I bowed, I knelt,

gentleness touched me..

Two holy feet,

So gentle, so soft,

made of marble rock,

sheltering me to a soothing calmness..

I looked up from the prostrated view,

Tears in my eyes, or was it dew?

peace englufed me,

my heart...

enveloped in warmth,

A mystical enclosure... I was in..

Like, an infant in her mothers' arms,

enjoying....

The gift of life...

Noisy surroundings felt suddenly,

"Next!!" was the shout I heard,

Pooling all my senses 'n my mind,

I hurried, with the garland in hand,

Folding my hands again and again,

With an unreasonable worry in the heart,

unwillingly moving away,

from 'that' bliss, peace, and warmth.

Out.. from the scene I was.. unrealized,

amongst chattering noises.

profound peace in my heart and mind,

I came out.. I had no choices,

chanting within me..

peaceful chants of "Sai"...

I look forward for a moment of that kind.
