Shashi Gupta

Cut off from life, when all alone
When silence haunts my nights
I hear God's voice all around me...
When clouds roll in and hide the sun
The deep rumble I hear is the voice of God.

The trees that sway in the gentle winds
Both speak a language in God's voice.
The songs of the birds that sing in the trees
Carry messages from the depth of their hearts.

Trapped in the shackles that restrain my life
When tired I am of struggling for freedom
The tiny voice that whispers into my ears
Is a herald of a peaceful life ahead.

I know not the path I've chosen to walk
Nor do I know the destination I reach for
Stumbling on this unknown path with faith
I strain for the footsteps that walk besides me.
