UMBRELLA OF HAPPINESS

Rain drops are falling

The flowers are blooming

The children are playing

Puddles are full

Birds are a fluttering their wings

The monsoon is here

The clouds are dancing

Colorful, wide and smiling

My umbrella of happiness is open gain! 

DESTINY CALLING

This my destiny!

This is my calling!

Oh my beloved!

Will you walk me through?

Holding hands !

Leading me!

Embracing me!

All the way across!

To the other side of life

Where there is no you and no I

No us and them

No here and there

Where there is only true love

Oh my beloved! 

To this land of silent eternity

Will you come with me?

WRONG FOOT

One step on the wrong foot!



A twist unwanted



A hurt unintended



Burdened by a heavy heart



Oh my dear!



Will you forgive me?

RIVER SIDE SONG

The meandering river side




The cool embracing breeze



You and I



Lost in singing!



The boat man waits!

MONSOON LONGING

The thunder roars



 Black clouds gather



Lightning flashes



The rain pours



Sitting by the window



My heart longs for you!

RAIN DROPS AND CRIMSON

Crimson and green

The trickling blue

Leaf and flower swaying

 Little puddles, muddy bubbles

Umbrellas and colored coats

Happiness and wet souls

All drenched now

As I dance in the falling rain! 

DEW DROPS AND PEACE

Dew drops on a lotus leaf

No sorrow, no grief!

Accepting evanescence!

Allowing transcendence 

No craving; no Clinging!

Neither to water; nor to leaf

Free to be; free to flow 

Wherever or whenever!

All is bliss! All is peace! 

SLOW AND SILENT

Slow and silent

The sun rises

The flower blossoms

The fruit ripens

Mindful in contemplation

Slow and silent

I too shall let go ! 

BEAUTIFUL MYSTERY

Oh mysterious life!

 How beautiful you are!

You come in a flash

You go in another

Yet you are so full of miracles

You are so full of mystery

I am nothing here before you

Nothing before your vast expanse

Nothing before your intricate web of causation

Yet you give me a glimpse of your magnificence

Oh mysterious life

How beautiful you are! 

CAMEL ON THE BOOK SHELF

Jeweled camel on the shelf!

More precious than gems and gold!

Two Rings!

Hidden within

A life; a love

A story untold!  

Calm still

Never to be forgotten

The Eternal jewel of Love!
