I Am Curious And Anxious..! Poem by sundaram chandrakalaadhar

I am curious and anxious -

Milling around
For long hours
Impatiently the pious await
The painful creak of
Heavy large doors
Of ' Vaikunda Vaasal '! -

Squeeze and sweat through
In mad rushes and pushes
The skirting tunnel
Narrow and dark
Inside the temple!

O..is all the hurry and frenzy
To gain access to heaven
In flesh and blood?

O..wearisome lot!
Would you listen?

Follow me to the slopes
Of the East and the West
At crack of Dawn
And budding of Dusk-
Many many Heavens
Shall thrill your souls!

Yea-
Wealth in limitless flow
Peace in pristine streams
Beauty in enchanting smiles
Winds with softest caresses
Skies in solemn meditation
Space unlimited for
Collisionless flights -

Nowhere would you find
Heavens in equal..!
