16.
Supreme!In those days,
The moment I touched
Your Feet,
Fears and doubts
Devoured me.
You may not believe —
Fears, doubts, anxieties,
Worries, frustrations,
Unbelief and disbelief
Devoured me
And my life.
Alas, a deplorable,
Despicable experience!
In vain, how hard I try
To delete it
From the tablet
Of my heart.
Sri Chinmoy, Sadness-heart-silence. Madness-mind-eloquence, Agni Press, 1998
