An inquisitive prayer

An inquisitive prayer

P K Routray

God pray I thee

with bowed head and bent knee

not for wealth,

nor for health,

not prosperity,

nor for longevity.

Pray I you but on a plea

to know about you and me.

Who am I?

Why am I born why do I die?

How can I see me without this mortal body

so far unfathomed by this mundane man’s study?

From where I came and where will I go?

on my shape and size some light you please throw.

Who are you, where do you stay?

Formless or in frame you exist, to know I pray.

Are you the real creator of the whole creation?

show me if so, the design office and the center of production.

Do you work alone or you are having a team?

What are your other engagements and a year’s working scheme?

Pray thee to sole this curiosity of mankind

to know “You” “I “: and the secret behind.

My senses and my wisdom are curious to perceive all these,

Are these all your fun? Pray answer and demonstrate please.
