PRAYER
Dr. SANKARA SREE RAMA
RAO
Amidst deafening noises
I strain my ears to hear thy Divine music
Blinded by the mist of Maya
I try to cast a look at thy Divine form
With a wavering and mischievous mind
I struggle to concentrate on thy Divine reality
Surrounded by foul and disgusting odours
I very much desire to catch thy Divine perfume
Scratched all over by the roughness of life
I yearn for thy Divine touch
Like a delicate flower in a thorny bush
I send out the perfume of love to you
Through the wind of constant
prayer.
