This poem is inspired by a post on blog of Eric,http://wp.me/1YE83which I read and the haiku there prompted me to write few lines! I wrote a verse in continuation!
After reading ROOTS – haiku. I remembered few golden words of wisdom which I had heard in my childhood! I comprehended it in my own version!
Dust of the ground
he smudges on his forehead,
for the soil had the
blessings of the
elders
and noble saints!
On this path
to the temple
millions of feet walked
without realizing the priceless measure.
Idol in the shrine
shones like gold
awestruck crowd moves
in strident force
with folded hands they pray
for a wish
few worldly pleasures
gorgeous and umpteen!
Scarcely anyone
halts to feel the sacred presence
in the particles of earth
where few holy souls had stepped!
He knows what
lies in the golden blessed dust
which can change the flow of life forever.

Thank you so much Wendell! Hope you are doing well!
Yes, quite often people are wrapped up in their own wants – ignoring the sacred ground that holds them up.
Happy that you were inspired to recollect and share these words.
Well, off to church now.
