My God-Hunger-Cry – by Sri Chinmoy
In October of 2005, Sri Chinmoy began a series of prayer-poems entitled My God-Hunger-Cry. We are delighted to feature them here and hope they bring you joy and inspiration.
An early poem by Sri Chinmoy
Her Face O earth! but once behold her Face,
Then all for you is sun-vast Grace. Your brave despair, your hopeless cry, Your prison of mortality Her gaze of Power will break the maim Into a thousand fragments of Her Name.Sri Chinmoy first began writing poetry in earnest during his adolescence. First he began writing in his native Bengali, then later moved to writing poetry in English. His early poetry is much more structured and metricized than his current output, which mainly consists of short haiku-like aphorisms.
The above poem is a typical example dating from 1958, referring to the mother aspect of the Divine.
