Sunrise

What force moves me

to rise up with the calls?

Mom, Hey: Tea, Lunch,

time for school, office.

I skate from corner to

corner mumbling prayers

asking happiness for all.

Body and mind rebound

In unresponsive pain.The
kitchen smiles: hungry,

unfulfilled, empty, quick.

In lonely hours when

sleep evades me, I rush

to the study table to find-

where is me? I see, responsibility

god , life work and worship.

I turn to the brightening East

and kneel down in prayer.
