There’s a song …

There’s a song in my head, and

Its music I picked ;

Flawlessly, guided mind.

I stepped on the stones by the river side and

Motioned into a dance move,

Waking sleeping energies into a ball,

A fire of emotional deluge.

The wind swirled to unknown rhythms as

My hands reached out to the unknown

Within, deep within

Body and Soul.

In my quiet island

Where silence prevailed,

Stillness watched into emptiness;

Time stood tapping.

My inner child took a

Twirl and smiled;

The song in my head played again.

Devotion

I sing to you

The song I have learned

The mantra that saw many generations

Words in Your praise

I sing in devotion.

I sing to you

Today the song that I feel deep within

Never heard before phrases but a mantra,

Words thanking you and meant only for You

I sing in devotion.

I sing to the Goddess of knowledge.

*On the occasion of Vijaydashmi festival. In the Southern state of India, Kerala, Vijaydasmi is considered an auspicious day for initiation of learning.

Completeness

divine surender

Space I measure

Mind’s eye gauges

The borders…

Visually literate

Construe fallacies

Within boundaries…

Lost ‘within’

Yet fight the realms

Break the walls…

The cocoon sheds

Revamp thoughts

Discern limitlessness…

The unseen presence

Divine surrender

Space I tread in completeness.

Enshrined…

Enshrine

Falling to a pulp on the floor

Heard the voices many;

The bliss was intoxicating….

Displaced she felt as she rouse;

Confusion written

On the faces that peered.

But one familiar face

Lifted her hand

And to that smile, she relaxed.

Not yet, she heard

And sprung to rise –

The only rhythm

Her heartbeat.

Those few minutes?

The mystery enshrined….
