Beacon

Beacon

In this infinite Desert of Dead land,

I sought for a drop of hope.

Every dune, a mirage unfurled,

Leading me down despair's steep slope.

Onward I tread,

Holding onto my deliquescing life.

Deficient existence nibbled my heart,

Neared the last ounce of my meagre strife,

Wished my wailing heart for a lethal dart.

Know I did,

O

But the suffering endured cleansed me not

Of the doubting devil and its evil horde,

Darkness darkened my dawn's divine knot.

G

Another mortal suffering such fate

A life lived with a longing for Life

Life with no bleeding hearts of hate

A life not tainted with greed's rife.

With I bid

As I felt my death a breath away,

That I shall offer the Life given by Him to Him

That I shall live to light His mansion's gateway,

A Breathtaking prayer, as I breathed my last hymn,

In Pain's amid

A dark wave swept across my mind.

Floating in a scintillating tranquility,

A soft nectarine voice did my ears find

I know not, whether I lie in the devil's or Divinity's vicinity.

"Beloved Child,

Thou hast surrendered thy soul

And I shall captain thy ship

To steer it towards thy goal

Of realizing thine oneness with the Divine script."

Tears welled,

I Bowed down to the majestic form

For whose blessing humanity craves.

With overwhelming humility i submitted to the Divine norm

And strived to be a beacon To those groping in the dark caves.
