On the banks of Ganges <br />I sat in a serene and sombre mood <br />Looking at the playful water <br />as the wind like a great artist <br />Draws playful lines and circles <br />On the water. <br /> <br />The wind <br />Tickles the water <br />And it laughs although I can’t hear. <br />When the water laughs <br />And jumps, it moves <br />In lines and circles <br />And then rushes swift to the shore. <br /> <br />I sit there at the shore <br />With my feet in the water <br />And watch the lines and circles <br />Reach and kiss my feet <br />In reverent love. <br /> <br />The wind is playful today <br />And comes to my lips <br />With a cold feathery touch <br />And caresses my hair and I feel alive. <br />It tells me about the sweet words <br />Uttered by lovers on the shore <br />Sharing their intimate feelings. <br /> <br />Tonight I shall dream <br />Of the symphony of the dancers <br />And as in a fairy tale <br />The lovers will come on this shore, <br />Kiss a thousand kisses <br />Tell love stories, <br />Smile and lie on the lap of each other. <br /> <br />I wish you, lovers of this shore <br />Bliss, serenity and peace. <br />Sleep here lovingly <br />The night through. <br />Let the glorious moon <br />Pour it’s mild heavenly light on you. <br /> <br />Sleep together lovingly in the arms of God.<br /><br />Dr. Antony Theodore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sleep-in-the-arms-of-god/
