266. Alas
Alas,My native seas tell me:
I have lost my heart's depth.
Alas,
My native skies tell me:
I have lost my mind's vastness.
Alas,
My native sun tells me:
I have lost my life's divinity.
Alas,
My native gods tell me:
I have lost my soul's immortality.
Sri Chinmoy, Three hundred sixty-five Father's Day prayers, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1974
