Python



The magical python , a few miles long

Slithered along to a divine song .

A multitude of colors did its scales adorn

Some covered, some bald, some black some saffron.

It swallowed.

It swallowed whole and complete

The devotee with his devotion so replete.

That he danced in a trance bordering on insane

Impervious to happiness and oblivious to pain.

It swallowed.

It swallowed whole and full

The farmer whose cart was led by the Bramha bull.

His harvest was golden and his heart grateful

His offerings heartfelt and his steps dutiful.

It swallowed.

It swallowed whole and inclusive

The sufferer, whose health had made him reclusive.

His heart so full of hope and fervent desire

Praying for forgiveness for irking Divine ire.

It swallowed.

It swallowed whole and neat

The childless couple in their dejected defeat.

Their yearning lives so heavy and so full

Hope for tiny hands their heartstrings to pull.

It swallowed.

It swallowed whole and entirely

Not one, not two but simply all the family.

Such unflinching faith in His Divine grace

With nary a thought this trek they did embrace.

It swallowed.

It swallowed whole and thorough

The student aspiring for a better tomorrow.

Despite his endeavours and his meticulous learning

Success his efforts seemed determinedly spurning.

Having thus feasted on such ardent devotion

It moved forwards in a languorous, slothful motion.

Slithering ahead to a divine song.

This magical python, a few miles long.
