I then chant your name

"Ungodly hour"; calling it a day

half well spent , rest in dismay

now wide awake, partly insane

Lost!! I then chant your name

 

For the silver ball, the gleaming one

  Sole-dark-walk is not much fun

Stars to love, clouds to blame

Thoughtful!! I then chant your name

 

Hovered by those past images

Have dared to march the mazes

Breaking old-rigid, fussy-frame

Moist eyes!! I then chant your name

  

Ditched mind; stitched souls

Rude are rules; illusive goals

Thy own puppets, an unknown game

Answered!! I then chant your name

 

Doubted-thanked-prayed-troubled enough

Hand-hold me “God”, rains are rough

Cast-morn-bowl, fire-ball again

Assured!!I then chant your name
