Dearest Sai, We Seek Thy Solace

In a personal interview with Bhagavan Baba in 1979, the author told Him that she wrote poems occasionally to pour out her love for Him. Swami blessed her and said, “Write more poems on me.” Later she was blessed to write 75 poems on our Lord for His 75th Birthday called ‘Seventy-Five Blossoms’.

Oh Listen, Dearest Lord Sai,
As a babe seeks its mother with tears dripping down,
As a blind man stumbles and falls in the darkness around,
As the blithe bird in the sky above totters down, cruelly shot,
As the sun, covered fully, removes its brilliance in a trice,
So, do we, one and all, stand shattered, mute and helpless,
Beloved Sai, none to seek, we pray to Thee for Thy mercy.

Oh Hearken, Dearest Lord Sai,
Thou art everywhere in Thy full grandeur, shining splendidly with Thy halo,
Here and there, up and down, all pervading, Thy glory exists,
Lord of creation, nameless and formless, Thou art fullness itself,
Thy love, so divine, brim with compassion, in full embrace of us all,
Shocked and silenced by this demonic virus, we all bow down,
Beloved Sai, none to seek, we pray to Thee for Thy mercy.

Oh Awaken, Dearest Lord Sai,
Shall I tell Thee the havoc wrought by this vicious virus, so elusive,
With a name so strange to utter, only a tiny speck in a deadly shape,
With a stealth hard to detect, with such a will to strike all in its path,
Merciless and mute, it sprung on us all, it jumped, nay it galloped
Until we trembled and tottered, breathless we hid in our space,
Beloved Sai, none to seek, we pray to Thee for Thy mercy.

Oh Listen, Dearest Lord Sai,
Shall I recount tales of woe, sights so strange, suffering so intense,
With this virus, so invincible in its track, began its journey far away,
Slowly but surely, its tentacles grabbed all on its way, far and wide,
In its sojourn every nook and corner, trampling rich and poor alike,
We stood, bereft of all that we knew, lost the freedom we enjoyed,
Beloved Sai, none to seek, we pray to Thee for Thy mercy.

Oh Hearken, Dearest Lord Sai,
Shall I tell Thee what I see day long, what I hear, washing and masking,
Intent not to succumb to the threat around us, we hide in our homes,
Hospitals aflutter with the sick and the dying, medical warriors fighting,
Fighting with all their skills yet young and old, elderly too turn a prey,
Dead with none to mourn, nor to bury, adds to the count, a scary number,
Beloved Sai, none to seek, we pray to Thee for Thy mercy.

Oh Awaken, Dearest Lord Sai,
Bewildered, I ask Thee oft from our hiding spots of these harrowed times,
Did we err so strong to upset life’s balance? Is karmic law astir to action?
Looking through the window, nature unperturbed in its calmness I see,
Birds hopping merrily, worms wriggling beneath the grassy spot, so wet,
Divine grace, plenty to behold, ready to shatter karmic law, Sai is here,
Beloved Sai, none to seek, we pray to Thee for Thy mercy.
