i promise....

नमस्ते यातिराजाये विवेकानंद्सुर्ये;
सचित्त सुख स्वारूपाये स्वामिने तपहारिणी :

*

Time is fleeting,

Have you not heard his steps?

The silent steps,

He is coming

Yes I have seen him coming

Oh! The giant arms ……….

**

Still I am struggling inside

the dark murky depth,

Incessantly trying to get outside,

It overpowers me

O! Gurudev

I am scared……………

***

Most of my work has been left

undone,

It seems

I just have completed

my ‘graveyard shift.

****

It is uncanny really

for it is the third time

When you came into my mind,

Last time I could vaguely

remember you in front of the pyre

and then in my woes……..

*****

But today

on the auspicious occasion

of your birthday

I will dance

My whole body will reverberate

Thy divine name

I promise…………

Happy Birthday Guru Dev ( Swami Vivekananda)
