Love Poems No. 9 : WHO PULLS ME BACK?



WHO PULLS ME BACK?

Who calls me from behind?
I cannot move a step
As I am pulled to the centre
Though the wide world beckons me.
           
            What is it that makes me sad
Though all I have to give me joy?
What is it that holds me back
From seeking pastures ever anew?

I am destined to remain in place
In steadfast love and divine care
For it is his pleasure and will
And my life and gifts His alone.

Let me flow on the wings of time,
Though I don’t fly ahead of time
In supersonic jets around,
At last to reach the desired shore.

                                       Dr. Abraham Karickam
