I want to emulate

Valmiki - the robber

who turned to scribe.

He looted many a wayfarer

before changing course.

Confession,on other hand

for me, my sin's been 

allowing loot

of my wayfaring soul

So penance 

is a yearn

deep within is desire 

to be still

like him be veiled

behind ants' home

taking inward turn 

and hum

of incessant chant 

let me be at rest

In peace
