My Eternal Lamp

a poem by Padmini

Let the lamp of brilliance
burn itself to the last.
Let the light of this lamp
pour its brilliance on to me.
Let me get lit by this lamp
and let me get drenched in the power of love.
Let this power of the lamp give me
the warmth, so that I can be warm and radiant.
Let this lamp show me the way and
the path where my ultimate goal lies.
Let this lamp get my goal
as near to me as my own soul.
