Where and How Far? - Manas Bakshi (India)

 


WHERE AND HOW FAR?

 

-         Manas Bakshi (India)

 

There's a natural stone 

Rugged and mossy 

Outside a temple ;

 

There's another -- designed,

Displaying artistic beauty of a deity

Inside that temple,

 

Devotees entering 

Rush to touch it

For an iota of His grace .,.....

 

Who knows -- beyond the eyes of stone

Where and how far's the heart 

He has made His home?
