Enlightened
Neck deep I envision for
The one who is Omnipotent to be
I immersed shoulders to see
The Solace that I seek. The Unseen.
Arms and hinds covered with brine
Waiting for the Omnipresent to reveal
Stop the hunger! I plead, where is the sign? I cry,
purge the throbbing pangs, I weep, all my toes
Buried in the darkness of saline.
Bravo!! HE says, the voice of Almighty,
At least your eyes covered not, He Bellows
‘For I blessed your arms to give, but you hide in marine’.
‘I gave legs so you trod and help seek. Wipe clean
slate of your heart and help to be
your brothers’ relief’.
So,
In shame I turn to the horizon high
For forgiveness and promise
to help feed the hunger
at all times.
