11. A sweet longing
A sweet longing have IFor the mainland of Reality.
No more shall I live a life
Founded upon culled fictions.
Splintered, broken and smashed
Realities of life no more can torture
My intrepid heart.
From now on in my mind
Only God-Reality will blossom,
In my heart
Only God-Love will grow,
In my life
Only God-Embrace will glow.
Sri Chinmoy, The caged bird and the uncaged bird, Agni Press, 1998
