O Thy Universe

Shyam Kumari

I am so small
And the universe so large.
Yet I will die of longings
If I cannot hold it all
Within my single heart.
For each living thing sings to me of Thee,
These flower-intensities tell
Enchanting tales of Thy Beauties.
And lofty mountain tops hold high
Eternal emblems of Thy heights.
And mighty ocean depths reveal
A glimpse of Thy profundities.
I cannot bear,
Any part of Thee
To remain unknown to me.
Teach me, O love,
How to hold all Thy greatness
In one tiny heart’s sacred secrecy.
