I am drowning in an ocean of holy water
I am asleep in Your Presence
Prayers only pass through my lips while my heart lies dormant
I sit and wait, not knowing even for what I am waiting
I go here and there, only to fill empty spaces of time
The prasad overflows
Yet I am starving
Everywhere there is peace and stillness
yet I hear only useless ramblings and chattering of my mind
Songs are filling the air in praise of You
yet I remain silent
Every place I walk has been blessed by Your holy feet-
Every place I touch has been sanctined by Your sweet presence
Yet I wander these blessed grounds in a daze of apathy
My eyes have beheld Your Divine form over and over again
yet in my blindness I stumble aimlessly looking for You
Your compassion is flowing everywhere and
the needy are filled by Your outpourings
yet I watch with dull indifference
Oh Mother, by what boon have You brought me here!
Will it only be wasted in the dust?
If so, then let it be in the dust of Your Precious feet.
