Shakti (Life Force)
You
my beloved
who taught me
the meaning of love
My life
the cause
of my every
heart beat
You
my soul
the reality
that pervades
every core
of my body
The spirit
behind
my every action
You
the reason
of my each smile
The pain
hidden
in my every
cry
You
the ray
that lights up
my gloom
The inspiration
from which
stems
my every ideal
You
the Words
that I scribe
on the tablet
of my heart
The thoughts
that rise
in my consciousness
You
the blood
that gushes
in my veins
The oxygen
in the air
that I breathe
You
the Kutub
whose heights
I can never
approach
The lotus
that blooms
in the crystal waters
of my prayers
You
the music
stirring
my every song
The wish
that creates
my every desire
You
the fragrance
of flowers
that grow
in my garden
The painting
that I sketch
on the canvas
of my being
You
are the pivot
around which circles
my very existence
