My dot of light

(839)  Andhar sagar tiire base base

Seated on the shore of the stygian sea,
I think about when You'll be here,
Steering a ship of light with Your own hand,
Having traversed that vast ocean.

I'd come here to carry out some feats;
Instead of work have been misdeeds.
My days have passed, my nights elapsed;
Gone too are all my companions.

With me was the lamp of life,
On gloom's brow, a dot of light.
Even now that flame, I've kept it lit,
In hope of Thee, my trove of ambrosia.
