In a moment of peace

12th June 2016

One is sleeping
            oblivious to the world
            hands spread out, palms open
            receiving the knowledge of the ancient masters
            understanding the world
            in deep meditation
            in sleep meditation
            digesting the day, today.
Two looked here
            smiled at me
and then looked away
she’s listen to music
Indian classical ragas
having a conversation with the ustads
aa aa aa aaa aaaa…
was that an alap?
Three put her paw on the pad
            she’s asking me,  “what are you doing?
            what could be more important than looking into my pretty pretty eyes?”
            the vain one
she knows
            she’s the prettiest beagle in town
            the lively one with the wagging tail
            she knows

            Mumma loves Best!

12th August '12

Walking slowly and carefully, I missed a lot of stones.
Maybe I should have overturned them.

Singing loudly and dancing vociferously the dance of life, I turned deaf to my inner voice.
Maybe I should have turned the volume down.

Trying to get the work done, organized and scheduled, I forgot the whole point.
Maybe I should have aligned myself to the purpose first.

These maybes,
These thoughts,
I need to shelf again today.
Maybe I shouldn’t!

Morrow’s song

15th sept ‘10

I wanna kiss the darkness
I wanna live the dream

The circles round and round , around the eyes
They deepen
The scars at the joint, they bleed, they dry, the scars
They never heal

I wanna kiss the darkness
I wanna live the dream

You kiss, you love, you plead, you say sorry
You walk, you run, you rush, you come back again
You live, you die, you live, you die, you sleep
You wake up again

It’s the same sunshine
It’s the same rain
It’s the same feeling
It’s the same damn emotion

I wanna kiss the darkness
I wanna live the dream

You look, you search, you find, you assure
You know you’ve found it
The answer to the dark, to the shadows, to the loneliness
You smile, you jump, you dance,
You found your soul again

But some day you find yourself wandering on a highway
Trees and flowers and fence on the left side
You walk with a backpack up the road
Wondering which way is the camp?

I wanna kiss the darkness
I wanna live the dream
