Another Victory flag on the mast of life!
Pointlessly waving by the ocean
of changes
Still craving and clinging, to
the deck of foolish conceit
My empty hull still ,pitches and
rolls!

ONCE UPON A TIME
Clear blue skies
Happy clouds floating by
Once upon a time!
Just You and I!
Years and clouds; have come and
gone!
The Sky is vast; still clear and
blue
But you are not here by my side!
All alone now, by the shifting
sand
Left to the tune of the wind and
waves
My stale breath struggles on;
waiting to be let go!
YELLOW STREET LIGHT
Standing tall in the frosty corner
yellow and gleaming in the morning fog
Not noticed; not worried about
Yet lighting up; for its own part
The lonesome street light glows
GREEN ENLIGHTENMENT
Curly dark clouds embrace the
southern sky
As the rain drops kiss the moistened
earth
Rippling smiles spread across the
newly formed puddles
As the perfumed earth fills the
air with fragrance
The trees sway to the tune of the
moist wind
And the dust settles and the dirt
is washed away
The glossy leaves attain green
enlightenment
In this rejuvenating shower of
paradisiacal bliss
My besprent heart silently blossoms!
LIFELESS ROCK
Lifeless as a rock
Still is the bliss
Without thought or feeling
Form or formation
Without consciousness or
contemplation
Existence or non-existence
All, none and only!
I am; I is; lifeless! In bliss!
Rock and non rock!
DEDUCER
Deducer deducing !
Lost in silence !
Flames of delusion
Smoking confusion
Watered down in silence
Deducer deduced!
The Rest is silence !
A WORKER'S PRAYER
Rushing towards another day
Oh Lord! Benevolent and merciful!
Make me realize this dream!
Scurrying through the busy
corridors of life
Let me not trample, on someone else’s!
While being caught up in tending
to my own wounds of worry
Let me also feel, the pain of those
in endless suffering
And let me act, with patience,
love and compassion
Ascending up the ladder of your magnificent
grace
Let me be free, of the tainted
stains of self-conceit
Making decisions, opinions and
conclusions, in daily life
Let me tolerate, differing points
of views
Irrespective of the caste, creed
or community; action or capability
Let me respect everyone equally
Acquiring, executing and distributing; in the roles I play today
Let me be free, of greed, pride
and prejudice
And in all actions I intend,
choose or do
Let me uphold the hands of
justice
Walking this lonesome path of
green pastures
Let me break free from the chains
of passion and delusion!
Oh Lord! Benevolent and merciful!
As I rush through another day of
my evanescent life
Make my dream; my ultimate
reality!
ORIGINAL FACE
The sky has no path
The ocean has no destination
Spring comes and goes
Grass grows and withers
Formless is my original face
As a smile blossoms on it
