If Ever

Just as all rivers turn to Ocean

And all faiths to Thou

I am not sure if my meandering thoughts

Will ever find the path of prayer to reach You

Just as some blotted out stars still shine

And the sky wears a new moon

I am not sure if my empty heart

Will ever be ablaze with love for Thou

Just as waterfall crashes with all its strength

And tears stream down a devotee’s face

I am not sure if my crusty soul

Will ever break to flow towards You

Just as the wind ripples the lakes and ponds

And murmurs in the jungle

Let Your Name ripple my being

Rid my mind of its trenches with Wicked Corner

Hold my fears of facing Truth at bay

Make not a splash ever

And I am sure

I shall not fall from Your Grace

Whether I am downhill, in the gorges or on mountaintops
