When shall I see thee and gain bliss
Unattainable even by gods and angels
Holding with my hands thy holy feet
Pressing them against my head, chest
And eyes and smelling their fragrance
Resembling that of full blown lotuses!
* * *
Thou kingly bird of my mind, give up
Thy vain wanderings and quest of joys
Sport for ever in the nest of Siva’s feet
Which are resorted to by birds of sages
For tasting nectarine fruit of liberation!
* * *
O kingly swan of my mind, sport here
At pleasure with the ladies of devotion
Residing in the privacy of the mansion
Of Siva’s feet- a mansion of brilliance
With ruby like luster of those lotus feet
And resorted to by sages who meditate
On the meanings of the sacred mantras!
* * *
O kingly swan, why do you wander in
The muddy tanks of worldliness fit for
Mean creatures? Go unto the pure and
Perpetual lake of divine contemplation
Having eternal bliss for its water, minds
Of heavenly sages for its lotus flowers
The holy men as its birds resorting to it
Sins as the dirt it cleanses away, and
Virtuous disposition as the fragrance it
Emits, and then my swan drink its bliss!
* * *
O great Lord, who ever attains to a state
In which he joyfully surrenders his heart
To thee and spends his time in meditation
And ecstasy and in seeing thy holy images
In listening thy stories, in singing thy hymns
And in worship to thee- he attains liberation
In this very life, indeed, thus says a sage poet!
* * * * * * * Om Namah Sivaya * * * * * * *

You presented your heartfelt beliefs in a well focused and easily understandable work of art. The visualizations here were serene and peaceful even though you were questioning. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and will continue to read your work.
Have a good day,
