THE WEEKEND LIGHTER*: A POEM BY E X JOSEPH

A PRAYER WHILE CELEBRATING DEEPAVALI

E X Joseph

Where the sun fills every home,
with the light of happiness
Where the moon spreads peace,
all over the wide earth
Where the stars open every eye,
into the ineffable mystery of truth
Where humanity   is the only God,
worshipped with total adoration
Where every home becomes a temple,
seen as sacred by all the people
Where the darkness of poverty,
becomes a tragic memory
Where wars and conflicts vanish,
into the limbo of history
Where every heart blooms as a flower,
and spreads the fragrance of love
Into that fullness of intelligence,
let mankind be led by Divine Light!

 (inspired by Tagore’s prayer in Geetanjali

“Where the mind is without fear…)
