Supplication

The poet, SANJEEV SETHI draws on God’s Allness to soothe his turbulence

In the unruliness

of my uppermost part

I draw on His omneity

to hush the house.

He is balm to bedlam

tune to soothing motifs

amidst turbulence.

I seek Him

in my lowest hour,

most luminous stretch.

This isn’t for naysayers.

Bonus

is the belief.

There is no other benefit.
