Perhaps

World moves

As it revolves

All else does

With seasons,

Leaving reasons

Toiling our spirits

We move forth

Boys and girls

Turn into people

Learning skills

I believe, everything

Changes with ones

Hope, faith and vision

I suppose..

Another Day

Endless nights

Giving so many shivers

 As are infinte stars

Clouds hanging 

Close to earth curling

With dancing lives

As Usual, In Your Passion

I think of you, as always

Telling myself, I am determined to sing

Lyrics somehow seem to be missing 

Nether do I know the tune or a thing.

On days when it rains

Listening to the thunder

I think of you as going in your 

Golden chariot across the clouds

The pool of water drenching me

I think of you showering with me

Rain brings such perfume from the earth

Filling the world in its aromatic breeze

It is so intoxicating and I can not feel anything 

Other than your sweet love that I bathe in

As you are surrounding me everywhere, anytime

Water drops or whiff of wind gently touching

Pigeons are quiet as the night approaches

So are the birds that came from distance

I see some lonely birdlings crying for food

Some are still trying for shelter 

Having outgrown the nest they grew in

They need a mate of their own

So their babies can share the world

That you so lovingly  created as you

For you protect the beings with life or without,

Narayana, name one thing that isn’t you

You being  the mom, dad, baby and their call

You are their food in the Spring Summer or Fall

Across oceans, meadows, or mountains tall

In all, baby I see you, yet you are so evasive of all!

Hold me Krishna, so I may not ever wander

Not knowing wither you are.. my sweet love!

This, One More..

May be I forgot

How you look

May be I do not recall

Having you ever met

It is OK life is too small to fret

On times I remember dreams

That brought us together 

Walking hand in hand

Over the bridge across the lake

My mind tells me that it is

Just another day where

I simply do not hail

When we ever had our eyes set

Clashing each others thoughts

In a hazy mist and took me away

As we were lost in the thin air 

Of less than nothingness…

That means O Krishna, everything

Forever yours!

A Simple Story Of Mighty SriRam (with thanks to all, including artist ji)

There was a kind generous King

Who ruled the earth eons ago.

He went to the forest on exile

With his wife for 14 years also

Followed by his younger brother

To help him survive the woods

10 and three winters in braving

The weather and demons alike 

SRI Ram left ayodhya with his mate

One day in the forest a lusty demoness 

Came up to see Sriram and breach his trust

Forest dwelling Mighty Ram, told her to seek

His brother Lakshman  equally steadfast

Shoorpanakha, with sharp claws 

Saw Sita and sought to eat so she can feast

The moment she tried to catch Sita,

Lakshman took his mighty sword

Deformed ShoorpNakha off of her nose and ears

Ram had to kill her warrior brothers, single handed:

About 14000 of those equally bad ones 

As their sister Shoorpanakha,

Have pounced on Rama to attack all at once; 

Just so he can keep the people safe,

Rama killed them all in an hour.

Weeping Shoorpanakha then left to seek

Help from the 10 headed demon Ravan

Ravana deceptively kidnapped Sita

So as to seek revenge of his sister’s plight

No one knew how nor who took away Sita

Until the old eagle Jatayu told to get help from south, 

Just before he died of fighting the mighty Rakshas.

Ram found help from the forest animals, sages,

monkeys and apes, Squirrels and demons, bears and all

All those who needed to bring change 

From the 10 headed demon's cruel rules

Returned home victorious with Sita ji 

And all friends along with the leading Lakshmana ji

Only because of friends, and helpers and their valor;

 Prayers from the sages and blessings from Gods and gurus

Did they all return Ayodhya, safe, then as now.

Makes everyone happy and reach their goals. Shubham.
