We cannot lose, what is never ours

What does fall from life, stays an hour

You love it more than your soul,

It does devour.

The Garden was lost,

As there blooms a flower.

What is not life, lives but in measure

What was there, is, and there will be

Shines a treasure.

Ignorance, blindness to our being

Viewing but not seeing.

Truth, you don’t need a voice,

We were the destination in being.

Let it be.

Nothing to gain, nobody to lose in this endless Sea.

It’s the sky and the Sea and there we are!

The Sky is the Sea is the We.

The Selfless Star.

It is all there, but something isn’t

If that something is,

Something will be lost in time.

The darkness viewed with the eyes,

Seeps into the heart

And the mind wants to give up on measure,I and strings attached.

Truth is, Truth is unknown

And it is not sorrow or defeat but the Futility of our navigation through time

That seeks a different pursuit.

The bells of the temple clamor,

The lights start shining bright,

The evening falls gently on earth,

And the self renunciates all that is not life.

One with your father in Vairagya.

Pain.

I watch the world through your eyes

Open sores heal their cries

Pain.

Reminder of what life is to many

In the Sunshine of our hearts

Lies a tornado filled with scars

If you should be on a sailing stride

Remember laying on your side

Is Pain.

Paint the clouds Grey

Numb the mind they say

You see the lesser Earth

For what it’s worth

Pain.

Be my bestest friend

Stay the nights of rain

I would not trade my life for healing

These wounds they open my heart

Set me apart, I’m feeling

Pain.

Make your life larger
Fill it with love
Lose yourself in it
Vaporise
Till you’ve soaked enough
Then drop as rain
On the earth you knew
Drops on each shoulders few
Then morph into colors and waves
Swing into rooms
To leave your incense
Then break into a thousand silhouettes
And play songs to crowds
Swinging their hands
Left to right right,
Right to left left,
Come to be one on top of the Earth
And cocoon my planet
With invigorating love and youth
And leave all life joyous
Victorious!
Make your life large
And fill it with love.

You are you, they are them.

It’s alright that you are not them

And they are not you.

Don’t lead, Don’t follow.

Beside each other

With the brightness of days

And darkness of nights.

Alright that the world is what it is.

Love and take love.

Don’t lead, don’t follow.

Share

Exposed to triumph or disaster.

Morality is for the inexperienced

In an infinite world.

Don’t lead, don’t follow.

Keep taking less till we are free

Sky for the roof, earth for our cot

Creek for a drink, Rain when it’s hot

Life ain’t ending in debris

Keep taking less till we are free

Our desires, our pride

Our prejudice, our stride

Life is beautiful

Our hearts agree

Let it be.

Keep taking less till we are free.

Our eyes, they yearn for their own morning

Our sinews are loose from tireless striving

There is a play of colors on the sky

Splendid but it will subside

Whisper

Keep taking less till we are free.

It is, what it is.

Luminosity suffices for self,

Designs have their residue

And Truth need not be uttered.

Don’t reiterate, it’s alright.

It’s magic in the air

My mind, it senses till infinity

This air is truth, this air is life

This air is promised free.

There’s melody you cannot utter

Sacred waves of the splendid realm

It’s raining flowers and fragrance free

Your heart unbounded

Love it claims.

This air is present

To where you go and don’t

It’s magic it was perennial true

But our eyes were blinded stones.

We are free, flight on run

Older and younger than relative Sun

Penance to the bones and teeth

But our air that shines, is the One.

You, me or no one at all,
Good, evil and the line in between,
Rise and fall of kings and kingdoms,
Some things never change.
Love found.
Yesterdays residing in your perception
And everyone else’s,
A closed mind, an open mind or no mind at all,
Some things never change.
Truth,
Potential,
Futility or grandeur of life,
Some facts are beliefs,
Where some things never change.
Open flight or restraint,
Filtered existence,
You, me and Our time here,
Awake always,
Some things never change.

A park, an alley, a subway train
Richness, poverty and what wealth cannot measure
Close your eyes and roll your eyeballs behind your forehead
Into the abyss of uncertainty
As no one is good to no one.
A frequent bench, a tree, some sparrows
Kindness, rudeness and choosingly numb
The dark circles around your eyes kiss
The confusion in your eyeballs
As no one is good to no one.
An old lady in a wheelchair
A decade lost praying for demise
The planet left behind
Filled with needle holes on veins and uncontrolled shivering
As no one is good to no one.
A new born cries
Earthquakes and volcanoes knock
A city replaces the forest
And I defeat you.
As no one is good to no one.
