The Dots

He's in the rain that falls,
The desires that rise,
The aimless clouds,
And heads tilted to the sky,
He's in the madness that Mira wore,
The notes she struck on her ektara,
In the childhood of every child,
And the love of every lover,
He's the language in the eyes of animals,
And the playfulness of their being,
He's the food on our plates,
And the street smartness of the beggar child,
He's in the lips that sing to Him,
And the worthless straws that make a nest,
He's as much in a sermon,
As in a smile,
When a few gather to pray,
He's in the chanting of His name...
In the dots that follow the verse,
For the poet is speechless.
