POEM - ENTIRETY OF A SOUL | KAIROS GLOBAL | JULY 2020

Author: Suja Neelesh, Oman

Through each and every breath of my wounded life

Where deep sorrow and darkness prevail

And I feel a dearth all over

I hear a soft whisper, too content

Like a solace to my weeping heart 

He’s been there always, like an unseen mystery

The warmth of my broken soul

The holy of holies, dwelling in me from the very beginning

His unfathomable love envelops me all day long…

Oh how poor and miserable soul will I be

To be always defiling the purpose and nature of thy will

Thou seem to be my unfailing hope

Oh lord! Thou art my merciful spouse

My very reason of existence

Gazing at you, unveils the scar of your love for me

Oh my beloved, your wounds have cleansed me

Thy excruciating pain has paid my debts 

Your incarnation made me the Chosen One

Oh poor soul abandoned in anguish

How long could I endure this?

Falling apart at times of temptations

Oh lord how deep were your afflictions

Your torments were beyond words

How could you bear them all in flesh?

You looked upon death as a virtue

Your shame and pain was my gain.

The beauty of my life rests in your mercy.

Oh how forgiving is your identity.

With at most lenience you look upon my sinful life.

Your benevolence draws me closer and closer

With thy Grace, I learn to love

Keeping aside my flaws, I desire to live for you

With your spirit living in me

I’m obliged to live my life in holiness

When I chose to follow you

 My prayers were then scripted by your wisdom

I was completely conceived in your Divinity

Your love empowered my inner self.

The abundance of your grace lighted my path

Your care overwhelmed my inequities.

Oh fountain of unconditional love

Thou art mine true love, who fetch me to Eternity

Like the blessed Mother and her most beloved son

In awe, I proclaim, let thy will be done in me

Till the end of times.
