My Guiding Light: A Poem by Neeta Taly

You fill my world with peace, contentment, and happiness
Looking at you, I do not worry about any stress!

You are devoid of any anger, ego, manipulation or greed
Your purity prevents me from doing any misdeed!

Supreme knowledge and wisdom of which you are a reservoir
How can I ever feel helpless or ever lack power!

You are a fountain of love flowing within me
How can I ever feel deprived when the source is right inside me!

Yesterday, I pulled you out and held you in front of the mirror of my eyes
You sparkled and shined and I felt I was in paradise!

My body is not hidden from you and nor are you hidden from me
We are both entwined and I know you will continue to nurture me!

You make me feel so enlightened and so whole
You are my best critic and a constant companion my dear soul!

You, my dear soul, give me a light into my heart
You shine my way to bring me back from the dark!

A source of light that never lets my world turn grey
Your light reflects on me every single day!

Neither the physical world nor this body is mine
You and only you are my guiding light and sunshine!
