Glory enough, I thought,
to have glimpsed
from afar
the ochre robe
undulate
reveal
a profile
for it led on to

encompassing all
the healing that emanates
from His sheer presence.
A wavering mind
not yet anchored in faith
wanting to lay itself
in unquestioning reverence
at His feet
yet not knowing
how to do it
being tossed
like a fragile leaf
by wayward gusts
suddenly set at rest
as the wave of His hand
in answer to his prayer
wrong from the air
a pinch of sweet-smelling Vibhuti
but give it to one
who perhaps deserved it better.
This is how the prayer
secretly and anonymously made
was answered
and faith all too tenuous
made whole and strengthened.
