My Experiment With God

They say...

God lives

In the land of innocence

In childlike essence

And so ..

I hugged a child

In deep embrace

Prayed with all intent

Taking along wish fervent

To stage a comeback

To my salad days

They say...

God exists

In the hills and mountains..

Thickest of jungles

In sprawling landscapes

And so..

I went up hills

Scaled mountains

Traveled through landscapes

To find a glimpse

Of the Supreme

And elicit answers

To my only question

"Can I traverse back in time

To reach and access

The period of prime?"

They say ...

You love to perch

In the deepest of oceans

To enjoy intensity of swing

Perpetual ebb and flow

And so ..

One day... I sat on the shore

Ignoring Time's score

To explore and comprehend

Your benign presence

And be able to fill the void

With limitless space..

Receive and embrace

The apt answer

From the divine juror

That my sensitive question

And ardent pleadings

Were looking for.
