Where are you God? by Suryakeerthy

Where are you God?
God,
A gift of fig fruits
Killed under the cover of flowers,
Give banyan fruits
In the latency of the creation of flowers
Rise up!

A bouquet of flowers
The fiery furnace of Missing;
A bunch of jasmine buds
The aroma filled the body!

Fill the sea with water
Embraced by the flames,
A deer leaves a tiger
Isn’t it left for hunting?

Light the night
Tie the night rush to the light
A kite on a needle
What is the beauty of your love that flies?

To beg with pity
Arrest on arrival,
of life in colored leaves
God created where are you?

This earth is a seed!
