A Sonnet to the Sai Baba of Shirdi

With a greying beard upon Thy chin And a Holy cloth covering Thy brow Thou smile at me, when all my senses go; When my heart is weak and my skin is thin; Thou give me enduring strength against pain, Thou hold me up when I am feeling down- And when in my selfish desires I drown, And my own sins pour down as drops of rain Thou show me way to Thine Holy Kingdom Where Thy sweet children live in love and peace. Let me bow down my head and bend my knees And pray to Thee to take me to Thou home O! The Holy Saint of the Shirdi town Let exalted be forever Thy crown! P.Siddartha Dt: 29/08/05

Purple Song

At the dawn of a day so long, I sing for you a purple song; Wearing purple you come along, ‘Cos a purple world is where we belong. At the dawn of a day so long, I sing for you a purple song; Wearing purple you come along, Before this feeling grows more strong. At the dawn of a day so long, I sing for you a purple song; Wearing purple you come along, Do understand; don't get me wrong. P.Siddartha 17/08/05

Sonnet to the Seventeenth Star

The Seventeenth Star of the Eastern sky Shimmer brightly over the world so high Having sit on the deadly Scorpion Till the afternoon, since the early morn With Mitra, the friend, as your ruler Bestow upon me the worshipping power. Sometimes in light pink, sometimes in dark blue But more oft Purple as your true hue Twinkle forever and sprinkle below On my dry life, all colors in rainbow. Bring with your smile a shine every night Fill all my mind with your divine light. The Seventeenth Star of the Eastern sky!! O Seventeenth Star of the Eastern sky!!
