Never seen him, yet not absurd


I casually resolved and

rushed to meet d’ God

my mediocre Santro DX 

racing on temple road



Temple doors laid open

for dusk prayer session,

Conch shell to be blown,

drums too beastly beaten



In midst of d’ trumpets’

loud deafening sound,

holy lamps to be lighted

in d’ temple compound



Group recital of hymns,

scores of rituals be done

I evidently love, such an

ambiance of devotion



Minds soaked in adoration,

 animals too enthralled often

Caught sight of a freak dog,

taking a dip in temple pond



Ajar doors pulled apart,

I kept cool, no smart act

to get a glimpse of idols,

 not eager, no hurry at all



Pushing, dashing, jostling

 steadily ought to subside

God grants ample time,

to unfold d’ loaded mind



Initial frenzy of devotees

 once languidly pass over,

a suffocation free period

ought to turn up for sure



By my side I sensed a guy,

tons of queries, lots of why

look curious but sweet chin,

face dubious, shy shrunken



Turned to me after a while

started with a gentle smile

“why apart for long period,

 least allured to see d' god?”

“Its none of your business”

I strongly wished to retort

retreated my steps back,

giving a second thought

got irritated to inner core,

silly query, so didn’t answer



With a push or pull gesture,

 intend not to see, bit earlier

chaotic milieu makes me sick,

he did avidly accept my logic



In God’s amazing creation,

nothing sustains in isolation

Almighty omnipresent god

never seen, yet not absurd

retains A to Z  synchronous

felt in each atom of universe



Sun, moon, all lives on earth,

worms, whales, moth or ants

in mitochondria of all d’ cells,

exist in d’ genes of each allele


I recited facts and he agreed,

yet so conveniently vanished

to bid good bye even if vexed

didn’t get him in temple complex 



Campus calm devotees gone

prayer’s over, seen no person

found only d’ poor creature,

droplets of water body over


Stood quietly, fully startled,

begging with silent words!

to carry on as dog on earth,

or to pray for a human birth?

Wink less eyes focused on idol,

 d' sight I won’t like to miss at all

not just an idol, so lively a god

never seen him, yet not absurd
