Deep rooted reflection ... Radhamani sarma

 

Poem of the week: Upon Wedlock, and the Death of Children by Edward Taylor

 

 

Deep rooted  reflection on family

 

Do you ruminate upon wedlock,

difficult to comprehend and  proceed.

Here is an example wedded deep

In flowers, perfumes, oaths  dipped

In love,  Love’s  knot, beyond  undoing.

 

Flowers, loose leaves, broad and  bright

Choose  and choice, colored and mixed

On the table, a  group solace endless,

Out birds and chicks moving fast, fast,

Hither  and thither, for a life new on wings;

 

Many a flower shoots  from one branch,

light after light, leaf after leaf, branch

after branch, salutary influence on mankind,

holy and sacred in God’s  place, special

for meditation and offering all the day.

 

 Glory, prayer  consistent did ascend

 comprising peace  and prosperity,

 for a life in earnest prayer and solitude,

flowers sacred,  flowers serene  and sweet

 adorn for all sad  and sober, yet compromise.

 

After all earnest chanting and prayer,

embedded in routine and  familiar shaping,

rhythm and regularity, Glory and chanting

name of  God  The Almighty, all, seeing ,

 watch  all the time, also, safety the mantra in all.

 

Prayer, absolute  selfless chanting,

Prayer in all its  forms, only glory  going on.
