201. SWEET HEAVEN, MY HAVEN
Lord, how many years moreHave I to write earthly poems?
When will You inspire me
To write Heavenly poems?
“Poet, why do you make an absurd request?
How can you expect to write poems
That belong to Heaven?
I shall take your case into consideration
Only when you come back to Heaven.”
Lord, in that case, at this very moment
I am leaving for Heaven,
Sweet Heaven, my haven.
Sri Chinmoy, Europe-Blossoms, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1974
