A Prayer of Longing

Bhagwaan, have you forgotten me?

I am sorry that I am silly arrogant and ignorant, but still I am Your child, am I not? Is your heart so hard, that it does not see how much this child longs for you?

Have my sins been so grave, or my trespasses so huge, that you are punishing me by sending me so far away from you?

Don’t you know, can’t you feel the longing in these cries for you?

Please bestow just one merciful glance on me and that will renew my strength to continue my relentless search for you…

I have immense trust in you. I try to console myself, that after all you have it all planned out. But that cannot stem this huge wave of longing for you that engulfs my entire being. I know you understand…

Bhagwaan… You know it all, don’t you?

To conclude quoting a poen from Gitanjali 

If thou speakest not I will fill my heart with thy silence and endure it. I will keep still and wait like the night with starry vigil and its head bent low with patience.

The morning will surely come, the darkness will vanish, and thy voice pour down in golden streams breaking through the sky.

Then thy words will take wing in songs from every one of my birds’ nests, and thy melodies will break forth in flowers in all my forest groves.
