HIS FACE!

In the dark forest I stood
engulfed by darkness
from the canopy
of the trees.

Vision was zero
and all I could see was darkness,
darkness that was surrounding me
from all directions.

Tried all the things, I did
Gayatri Mantra was on my tips
chants of Krisna on my lips
but none gave confidence to me.

Suddenly sensed something around me
and when I went a bit ahead.
His face I saw, shining like
the only star in the darkened sky.

My heart lurched at the sight of Him
true devotion it was I realized then
What in the heavens was happening to me?
Was that light meant only for me?

Just then I realised I could feel
the happiness of Budhha on attaining enlightenment
because I felt I could sense
that same circle of enlightenment around me.

'Cause only His Face could give me strength
which I was looking for
in that dark forest.

The sight of His face
made me want to live again
and forget the moments I had spent
in that dark forest.

If the darkness be the difficulty of life
then His face will be the solutions for tough times.
If the canopy be the closed doors
then His face will be the handles
to open those doors leading to a new life.

So O'noble men! listen
if in life you find yourself
in front of those locked doors
then crave in the darkness
for the sight of His face
'cause that is the face that will lead you
to the open gates!
