Bhakti or Devotion

to you i am attached

attached by that delicate string

string that is delicate but still strong

strong as my heartbeats

heartbeats that carry your name

name that is me and so much more

more than the universe

universe that is only you

you who is attachment

attachment that is love

love as well as faith

faith in my fondness and worship

worship of a purity in complete devotion

devotion in participation

participation in your love

love for the bhajans and hymns

hymns offered with the flowers incense and light

light that shines in the teeka(the dot of sandal paste) on my forehead

forehead that bears a testimony of your love

love that is pure, that is bhakti and devotion!
