GOD - THE CARRIER

"Proceed dear proceed, neither dense forests infested with wild animals
Nor flooded rivers, nor even the remorseless blood-thirsty bandit animals 
Can bar your way, nor mar joy, so long I follow to save you from plunder 
And your journey at the dead night will remain in history a saga of wonder"

The aireal voice uttering thus, set the traveller lone on the road
And walked behind like shadow to saving him from dangers on the rod
As he proceeded chanting God's name throughout the journey in the night 
He became sure of giving diamonds to the party as bid by boss upright

Much to his joy boundless, he did spy two pairs of foot prints, when turned 
At the howling of winds in front, all on sudden, or beasts grunted behind 
One of course was his, and the other was that of God's broad lotus feet Delighted at the word kept up, he looked back often to bow to that feet

Despite moonless night intensifying fears and depleting his pent up vigor's 
With God's name on tongue, and checking His presence at the hour rigour 
He plodded along the God-forbidden and man abandoned trackless land
Till nearing the outskirts of the place bound for, like a sage of pure brand
