Sacred Temple
Be the sacred temple
accepting worshipers offers
Listen to our prayers,
wishes & whims of devotion,
adoration & love for who you are
In our odyssey
that gravitated toward you
an endless quest
As a mirage to a Mecca
in a deserted valley
to a shrine on a mountaintop
Poor pilgrims, we are lost
in superficial confessions of the mind
-
The Aroma of desires
hunting for the Sound of Silence
That emits from your smile
Stopping short Between the Pillars
Of your gates outside
Never reaching us …
but Stabbing us
Taunting us with the sweetest
unique thought ever …
the price we pay
The pain of redemption ….
In rivers of believe we submerge
Only a devotee exclusive …
-
The Barriers of time defending you.
Dressed incognito …
Bending the prism of life,
Guarding your sanctuary
From these rumors,
that you don’t deserve to be ….
nothing but a thought-out ideology
covered by stone walls
-
Never answering, What is servitude …
devotion, emotions to you?
What do they know?
What do you care?
the existence of a myth
no one gets close to you …
No path to you
No river reaches you
No vibe touches you
No prayer reveals you …
-
But you, as always
Being there, a silent temple
Standing in grace defying rumors
Upholding the constitution of mystery
invincible…
Defiant in the face of time
-
Let the illusions of conspiracies
spread & burn as they like …
with misery, it burns the skeptics
as much as we with gratitude
you in the minds of the lonely
like us, omnipresent
Let us think that we are forgiven
Let us think that we are chosen
So we can return to ourselves.
That’s why we are here
at your gates.
