A Prayer To Father In Heaven Poem by Ramesh Joshi

PRAYER TO FATHER IN HEAVEN.

WHERE THE MIND IS FULL OF WORLDLINESS,
WHERE, SENSES DRUNK ASTRAY MOVE ROUND
CASTING GREEDY EYES ON SENSUOUS PLEASURES,
SURVIVING ON HOPES IS HELL FOR ME INDEED.

WHERE NOBLE THOUGHTS SHRINK IN DREARY SANDS
ARE LOST, REASON BE SLAVED TO BURNING PASSIONS,
DESIRE FOR ENJOYMENT BLURRING THE LAST LIMING LINES,
IS VERILY HELL INDEED! , SAVE ME, I PRAY EARNEST TO, THEE.

WHERE THE TRUTH PREVAILS SUPREME, VIRTUE HONOURED
GOODNESS A PRESIDING PRIEST, AT THE ALTAR OF TRUTH,
OFFERING SELF SACRIFICE, WORSHIPING THY DIVINE IMAGES
ON EARTH, IS TRUE HEAVEN, LAND ME IN AGAIN, MY DEAR, AGAIN.
