Eyes were new and so were the bones
Frolicking, chirping without moans
Summer-Spring of life with flowery frill
Universe sang just chill, chill, chill
Autumn’s still glowing with a bright light
Yet sinew’s losing that omnipotent might
Dawn, day and dusk have a strange new feel
Universe is singing chill, chill and chill
A time will come when harvest is done
The mind will long for the hidden sun
The sleepy physique will show time’s weal
Universe will whisper chill, chill, chill
The body and mind will be full of mirth
Awaiting keenly for another birth

Thank you for the Home so sweet
Thank you for the Souls we meet
Thanks you for the Bards who sing
Thank you God for everything
Switch off the world
That glitters on screen
Or buzzes in your ears
At least two hours before
You go to bed
Hang a No Entry board
Inside the beautiful premises
Of your mind
So that no unwanted thoughts
Lay siege to your fort
Even if they shout outside
In their glaring silence
Simply ignore
Talk less
Food mustn’t be heavy
Neither for the body nor mind
Take a simple book
Even a children’s book would do
Mustn’t read lying
Sit and read
It’s good if the bed is comfortable
But mind needs the real relief
There’s no need to panic
If sleep doesn’t descend on the eyes
Read
Feel happy
Close the book
Switch off the light
Lie down
Rest
Good Night
Luscious
life luring
Oh
to leap or not to leap
Let’s
give it a try
Either
we get it or dream
Both delightfully toothsome
Give something healthy
To the body
To the mind
And to the soul
Everyday
Rule the taste buds
Never let them be
Your lord
You are not the body, are you?
Be the ring master
Lash your mind
To go through
The fiery rings of restrain
If a tiger can do that with flames
Is a human a lesser being?
Practice is the key
And knowledge is mind’s food
Be selective for the mind’s diet
It should listen to us
For you are not the mind, are you?
Select dawn and dusk
To be with the soul
Feed it with the soft hued sky
Don’t be surprised
If events made of words
Want to play as pranksters
Frighten, excite or annoy you
Let the belligerent words
Rise out of the blue
Let them jostle and fight
Let them raise a hue and cry
Let Paris elope with Helen
Let a Kurukshetra happen
Be the witness
Simply a witness
Keep a watch
For a long time
Be amazed at the power of words
But don’t you ever mingle with them
Why should you?
You are not words, are you?
Keep a distance
And see how one day
All these fizzy thoughts
Burst into nothingness
All the waves recede
Tranquility reigns
And omnipotent Dweller
Of the body shines
If you ask me who I am
I’d say a rivulet perhaps
Originated from love’s paradise
Flowing all life
Discovering surprising bends
Towards an unknown infinity
With the dream
Of giving up this identity
To become one with it
I have sung
Danced
Mingled with many a stream
Our kinds varied
Nevertheless we grew
Together we made this journey smooth
Over jagged rocks
I have moaned
Even have frozen
Suffered separation
When parts of me
Branched out
At different times
Taking new course
But the flow is not without joy
I’ve loved this life
In this long pilgrimage
I have seen the sunrise
The moonlit silver streams
And also a Pole Star
My wavy notes dream
Of never losing the way
Into
some dreary deserts
Rather as the time will draw near
Let the dark sky twinkle
With the hope
Of touching the Infinite One
Fragrant dawn
With sweet date palm juice
Come winter
