Blessings Poem by Leonard Dabydeen

Your melodious voice

brings illimitable pleasure

in our hearts

like a swirling aromatic incense

burning in the altar

of our minds

when you begin to sing

as you step out

of your pristine room

and make entry

into your warm shower

a rapturous feeling

of elation

dances

with elusive joy

in our minds

as you chant the names

of Lord Krishna

of Lord Shiva

of Lord Ganesha

of Mother Laxmi

making an encryption

of a pooja in our soul

can we ask for your blessings?
