In Love with God
When I tried, my Lord, to see you Through the open windows of my eyes, You looked beyond every reach; However, as I closed them and sat thinking of you, I found none but you, Smiling on the bottom of my soul. If something that I have left in my heart, You know, it has started eluding me, too. O God! I feel something going across it Since I attained you. I wish I had passed all my life In the pure light of your presence. Being purely dependent on you, I have ignored everything else. To say the truth, I wish to live for you. I do not know, O God, where you are; But I know you hold the whole universe in you. Morning, noon and night I pray that no flower of my hope should turn fade. Having absolutely drenched in your love, I wake while in sound sleep And sleep when waking. I am afraid to think of anything else Lest my sweet dreams should get away from me. - Ramesh Tiwari
