In the gap between each of my death and birth <br />Before I find a womb again in revolving earth <br />Eternal time drastically changes earth’s surface <br />Each time it shows a unique stunning face! <br /> <br />Might be I was just a stone used in an Yagna <br />Might be I was just a sand particle in grand India <br />Might be I was touched by sages in search of Gnana <br />Might be I was just a bead counted in a holy Japamala <br /> <br />Might be I was there as lowly grass in Ayodhya <br />Might be I was touched by the holy feet of Rama <br />Might be I was a tree on the banks of Yamuna <br />Might be I got drenched in the flute of Krishna <br /> <br />Might be I was a crow lived in a Temple of Tamilnadu <br />Might be I was a snake adoring Shiva the Lord of beast <br />Might be I was an untouchable cared by Ramanuja <br />Might be I was a cow came across Ramana a day at least <br /> <br />Might be centuries back I came to hear Tamil devotional <br />Might be decades back I came to hear Vivekananda emotional <br />May be I have come again to drench in Amrita’s devotional <br />May be I still have to come again and again to reach the eternal <br /> <br />Millions of times I would have come here <br />Millions of times I may have to come here <br />To let go my karmas and to make me pure <br />This changing earth is just a lodge in my tour <br /> <br />I do have only one aim in all my countless forms <br />Reaching the centre is the only concern out of countless norms <br />Modern face of earth can never sway my aim <br />What can quench my heart in undying flames?<br /><br />Raman Savithiri<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/695-each-time-i-come-to-earth-151009/
