You are Already on My Way

 With all my artistic skills,

I took this painting brush,

Over the canvas,

And tried painting Your shining face,

But I was lost in Your mystical smiles,

and bluish eyes.

With all my aesthetic sense,

Over the blank page,

I tried spilling the ink,

Rhyming to Your glory,

But I was spell bound, lost in ecstasy,

On hearing Your super human miracles.

With all my sweet devotion,

I stitched a garland of exotic flowers,

To place around the shrine, in Your altar,

Lo, Your omnipresence had blown me away,

Wherever I turn, it was You;

Stretching Your gracious palms,

For the garland to receive.

O!  Baba, You're so magically playful,

That You knew,

Our eyes could never behold,

Your Cosmic Vision,

So, before I could worship and pray,

You were already on my way.
