On a starlit night
Without the moon
Time just melts away
Out of my sight.
I think and think
Of the last brink
Beyond my eyes
To track the link
Between me and Him.
I feel sad and withdraw
My eyes can't sleep
Even though I'm tired
Of the senselessness
Surrounding me
Day and night.
I toil and struggle
A lot more than those
Who waste their hours
To replenish their
Bank balances.
I cannot do that
For it's not in me
To keep galloping
In the rat race.
I do it for those
Who need me
And find their joys
Via the rewards
Earned each month.
I cannot sleep
Or snatch a nap
Without being
Disturbed by thoughts
Which my mind
On me flings.

Not long ago
My friend Donna
Advised me
To find my peace
In solitude and
A 'live alone' life --
-- She is really wise!
For I found out that
Whatever she said
Was factually nice.
For I have found the truth
In her words of grace:
That I cannot, ever,
Be content and calm
Without my God
And His love
Surrounding me
From all sides
In the vastness
Of loneliness.

I always need God
For I love Him
Though not as much
As He loves me
Unconditionally.
So my quest goes on
To be with Him
And see Him
In all His splendour
Beyond the reach
Of the starry sky
And far and higher
In the furthest realm
Of all dimensions.
I meditate
And contemplate
And in the state
Of self negation
I feel His warmth
And find the peace
I have been craving
Ever sinceI was seven.
Then my heart whispers
Quietly and subtly
That in being alone
I am just His
And the divine lullaby
Sung sweetly
Makes me drift
Into His invisible lap
And my eyes close
Effortlessly
Into the folds
Of peaceful sleep.

How many are there
Who, like me,
Could be so lucky
I often think...
Now I have discovered
That I am indeed
A very lucky man.
For I have got God
Always with me
Along with His healing mercy.

I have got true friends
Though a countable few
And I have even got
A woman who loves me
For what I am:
A loving man
And as she herself says:
"A human being"
In every sense.
What more is precious
Than what I possess?
Like I have said before
I am indeed
A very lucky man.
