Long
O Baba, why you sleep so long, long. |
The years go by, are lingering on. |
What did happen to you, avatar, |
your awakening the universe |
as you did say? |
What are you doing in your tomb so long, long, |
in which your lovely body rests, the shell, |
before which we come to worship and to pray, |
remembering the lessons, words and way |
as you did say? |
O Baba, do you know how much we long, long, |
to see, to hear something of you? |
We know the signs exist which help explain, |
but still, your word must manifest |
as you did say. |
Life carries all its load along, along, |
its programme slowly running down |
in which you set long in the past |
the molecules to arrange the chime |
as you did say. |
Your programme seems to be so long, long. |
Your prelude gone, destruction now holds on. |
Forms are hard to set for the new life, |
so that construction gets behind, must wait |
as you did say. |
The future looks quite bleak and long, long, |
black holes are threatening the whole. |
Yet destruction does not work at random, |
some islands are protected and preserved |
as you did say. |
Dear Baba, please, do not wait too long, long, |
since you do know that we do long. |
We pray to help us holding on, |
for left alone, your daaman might decay |
as you did say. |
