POETRY
Krishna — My Saviour
A poem on devotion
As the parched earth rejuvenates from the rain
And a little seed germinates, and a new life is born,
A ray of hope kindles amidst this heart full of pain
And you stand there smiling as I mourn.
Are you the one? I doubt your existence
Every pore of my being is filled with resistance.
Queries and doubts rise like a serpent
And the anger in me began to ferment.
So many questions, so many accusations
I kept on and on till I was exhausted with perspiration.
And you stand there smiling, not a word in defense
How could I understand the language of silence?
You captivate me with your smile and gently chide
Still not a word, but the agitation subsides.
Smiling lovingly, you pulled me from the dark abyss
In your presence, I am in bliss.
Under your hypnotic gaze, my soul nourishes,
Sorrow diminishes, and joy flourishes.

The spiritual journey is never easy. There are so many doubts and challenges on the path but only faith and devotion will carry you along. I am a devotee of Lord Krishna but there had been a time when I really doubted His existence. It was His mercy that I was pulled out of that dark phase and now I tread fearlessly on the path because I know that no matter what, Krishna is always by my side.
