Sacred Dreams

With eyes open come dreams barely and I see nothing; And with eyes closed come dreams profusely and I see everything Like that of a place in God's land I was once wandering And looking for pleasantries of heavenly things Coming across many a familiar divine face That I used to worship and adore daily in morning and evening Brighter was the path of God's land I was treading In darkness of night and in sweetness of dream of quiet slumbering Could see a Lofty One with thy smiling face of flame dazzling Beckoning me with thy universal hands of light to receive thy blessing Could see a Beautiful One adorned with jewels And thy tusks looking very real and eyes very small but striking Praying ardently to the Presiding Deity for knowledge, riches and wealth so pleasing Could see a Graceful One standing in princely attire With an arrow in thy right hand and a bow in thy left and a quiver on thy back And wife, brother and humble devotee on thy side so inspiring Could see a Loving and ever Smiling One among the gopis Playing, joking, stealing.......and for the eyes so fulfilling Could see a Mighty One with a Trident in thy hand Looking like a Yogi from Kailas meditating Praying to thee for prosperity, enlightenment of our souls And for our well-being and to forgive our sins and our failings so touching Could see a Blissful One as formost of Goddesses shining Ten-armed, broad-hipped, full-breasted and graceful Beauteous is thy form looking like a sun rising And beauteous is thy face looking like a moon blooming Praying to thee for fame, prosperity, success and happiness so delighting Could see an Universal One as the Lord of Universe on the 'Ratnavedi', Black in colour and large and round are eyes, Worshipped along with thy brother and sister and Sudarshana Chakra Praying to the Lord, Oh Love divine! Bless us to love thee only so gratifying Could see a Fakir who was singing God's name and always uttered Allah Mallik (God is Lord) Lord of all beings, home of Vaishnava devotees, most liberal amongst liberals Meek, humble and egoless and pleased all Praying Him to place His hand on us and bless us with eternal love and bliss Oh sleep, propeller of mystic dreams Fuel dreams and dreams of Gods only For when to thee I shall be drawing nearer and even nearest For the rest of world of Him and in Him I shall see as the best And at daybreak when dreams would have lost its sheen In reality at thy feet I shall be lying and dreaming of Gods only....
