Poetry

I have never been inspired to write any poetry. However I spend quite a lot of time reading and appreciating other people's poetry. In particular I like poetry by great spiritual seekers. Spiritual poetry can convey the essence of spiritual consciousness more effectively than any other medium of writing.

As a student of Sri Chinmoy I have read many of his poems. In particular I like his earlier and longer poems which convey in beautiful language a range of experiences and emotions felt by spiritual seekers.

 A Little

A little joy have I of ceaseless joy,
A little day of timeless day.
Yet knows no bound this empty show of mine;
I march along a goalless way.

O Love! A desert within me ever pines.
Do turn it into a song of dawn.
I know not in what hour of evil night
Thou art, my Lord, from me withdrawn.

Life now must reach Thy Breath of Bliss supreme,
Make Thee the one and only Guide.
Thou art the Bridge between my death and birth;
O let my longings in Thee abide

by Sri Chinmoy
