My Only True Friend
So hectic is mundane life;
Human beings can barely enjoy time.
To no human heart I’m now attached,
Fragile expectations have long ago been smashed.
‘OM, OM, OM* ’ in my mind his name rhymes,
Senses , soul connect to the Omniscient Divine;
My anger, fears, torments He deeply understands,
His justice, love, strength aren’t like
slippery grains of sand.
I feel for me He’s always there,
Whatever He does He’s always fair,
He’s my only true friend –the Divine
whom in my life flawlessly,
constantly shines.

*OM: According to the Vedas the main name of God
A profoundly spiritual and faith-centred literary work.
Simple yet penetrating.. !!
Lovely !!
Insightful and contemplative.
Divinity. Divine love. And, most important, love for divine with or without any attributes, is a universal and profound human need; here, well-expressed in the tradition of Bhakti Sahitya by a talented poet.
