Beyond the Edge of Time

Sitting at the edge of the time

With my legs hanging down

Looking ahead

I see the time ending

And stillness starting

In this stillness

I see time resting,

In the lap of eternity

I see every thing colored

Colored and touched

By the love

Beings walking

Some flying

More like floating

Little above the ground

Each smiling

And glowing

In that shawl of bliss

They are wearing

I want to jump over

From the edge of the time

Then I hear a voice

Saying “ No, It’s not your time”

So I stand up, turn around

And I wake myself up from sleep

Its time to get up

And start a new day

Pearl Necklace

Like a string

Of pearls

Me You and Us

Hand in hand

Shoulder to shoulder

Arms in arms

Stand together

On the face of this earth

Hold me tight

Don’t let go

Or this necklace

Of pearl

Will break

Symphony Of Creation

Symphony of Creation

Playing in my heart

A song of birds

Tunes of ocean

Humming of winds

Drums played by thunder

Dancing heartbeat

Moving to the rhythm

Rhythm of breathing

Stage decorated by stars

And curtains of blue sky

An orchestra

Conducted by Life

Me and My Mind

I am hungry
 For Ideas
 Ideas that will help me
 break the walls of prison
 Prison of my mind
 Ideas to elevate me
 elate me, entertain me

 I am looking for
 Salvation, liberation
 sensation of divine relation

 I am addicted to
 Vibration of your voice
 Sweetness of your words
 Leading to flotation
 Above mind's concentration
 Taking me to land of illusion
 Where I can see
 The true face of creation

 I came to earth
 To praise
To recognize
 To be ONE with
 LOVE
But for that I first need to
 Cross the boundary of my Mind
 To enter the domain of Love
I need to stretch it
 Make it grow
 To have the wings
 That will fly me to heaven
 Where Love resides

Recipe Of Life

In a big Bowl of Breaths

Pour hand full of days

Few table spoons of Joy

And a pinch of sorrow

Mix them all well

Then pour a cup of drama

Place small size drops

On baking sheet of struggle

And Cook until Hope last

And don’t forget to Enjoy

Romancing The Wind

I see the wind

Playing with leaves

Tender touch

Soft kisses

Singing lullaby

Secretly wishing

To wake the tree

So it can be with wind

In this full moon night

Listening to symphony

Playing by the crickets

Or to take the wind

In its arms

Before falling asleep again

Raining Tears

Caught in dusty storm

Storm of all those painful memories

My heart is now covered

Layer upon layer

Vision upon vision

Hurt upon hurt

I needed that rain

Rain of tears

To wash away the dust

To make room

To open the window

I needed to cry

To release the pain

Trapped inside

Screaming for freedom

I needed to let go

And I did let go

I have cried the pain

Its no longer trapped

My heart has a window now

For light to shine in

There is a room now

For Joy to come in
