Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 !! Sri Rama Jayam !! This comes from the pen of a poet who might have tried to rediscover the sorrow/pain of Ahalya waiting to meet her Lord. --------------------- I lay here, oh my Lord, awaiting thee, To end this curse and set my soul free. Cursed to be nothing but a stone, Cursed by the beauty I once bore. Centuries after centuries have passed, Yet you punish me for the doing of my past, Till eternity, will my pain last? My soul locked inside this stone, alas! I lay here on the path of this wilderness, At the door step of my husband's hermitage, Like a stone devoid of all tenderness, Earning nothing but life in disgrace. Sun touches me with his fingers of fire, The cold arms of the moon pull at my hair, The wind howls to pain my ears, To live like this, I no more desire. Hunters spit, thorns embrace me, Fawns and rabbits keep away from me, Breeze whispers my tale of curse and deceit, To the demons of the dark who laugh like the devil. Me, the spouse of the holy sage Gautama, Ahalya awaits to attain moksha, I can no more take this pareeksha, Pardon me my Lord, and grant me moksha. Oh, I hear human voice of noble men with Viswamithra the Sage, Are they hermits with the thejus of princes and their courage? Is it you in the human form, my Lord, in this forest dense? Have you come to end my cursed penance? I bow before thee my Lord! --- Hare Krishna Hare Rama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
