Five Priests
Five priests
Raise fire
Into night
Raise fire
Into night
On Ganga banks
At Shiva’s
Light
Where people come
To see
The sight
Some pray
Some pay
In boats
Packed tight
Aum
Aum
I sing
From deep within
I sing
From deep within
Aum
The sound
Resonates
Like kundalini
When spirit rises
Energy of life
And being
Fire ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #82
Every night
The aarti fire
Five priests
Pay homage
To Shiva’s gifts
While one boy
In their shadow
Shines bright

Spirits Cleansed
They come to bathe
In waters pure
Then, with spirits cleansed
They dry their saris
Upon the steps
Which bore them down
To Mother Ganga’s shore

Devotion
I wonder
Sometimes
At my devotions
Sometimes
At my devotions
Could I have been better
At this or at that
Had I offered more devotion
But of all the this
And all the that
Just two devotions have mattered
Fire, flowers and flow
In the moonlit night
Release flowers and fire
Into Ganga’s flow
Release flowers and fire
Into Ganga’s flow
For pilgrims and believers
A gift to Ganga, river goddess
Holy of holies
Source and purifier
Bhagwan on the Ganga Banks
