Entangled

A confused mind was lost in the woods. 

It was seeking the ultimate truth.

He asked the monkey swingin by the tree.

“Have you found the ultimate truth?”

The monkey giggled and said unabashedly, 

“Yes I have..., it is further deep in the woods”,

The peacock below the tree rattled its tail, 

and said “No no, it is right here in my gorgeous feathers”! 

The confused mind went deep into the forest.

It was dense, dark and shuddery, 

so the confused mind fleed the woods.

There was a breeze of solace, there was a fragrance of freedom. 

But it was a confused mind so it got lost in the woods!

The confused mind asked the ecstatic fluttering butterfly,

“Have you found the ultimate truth?”. 

The butterfly said “Yes I have, it is in the cocoon I built.”

The sparrow above chirped and said

 “No no, it is in the vastness of the sky.”

The confused mind decided to build a cocoon.

A cocoon with great foundation and vibrance,

But above all a cocoon of its own!

A breeze of wisdom passed and it realised, 

And so it fled the woods,

There was a breeze of solace, there was a fragrance of freedom. 

But it was a confused mind so it got lost in the woods!

The Marriage Affair

Let her sing, let her dance,

I am here to hold her arms!

A gentle push titillating the wind,

And we glide through the mountain bay,

Let her sing, let her dance,

I am here to hold her arms!

Down on one knee, and unflickering eyes,

Reassuring my love for her, deep and promising,

I steer the wind, through the mountains,

And way we go, across the sea!

The rains are on and the sea roaring,

Sails sinking, dark and grim!

Let her sing, let her dance,

I am here to hold her arms!

Fire inside and storm of love,

Vim and passion, we make love!

Let her sing, let her dance,

I am here to hold her arms!

Rivers through strait, woods and farms,

We reach the land, sun in glory!

Let her sing, let her dance,

I am here to hold her arms!

Awakening

As I attend to the energies of the inner self
with a pacifying music of the infinite,
A distinct connection forms with the source,
to be touched by the intelligence of the divine!

As the awakening happens within,
With no signs of loud festivity,
I see no borders, I see no lines,
It is a boundness space of pure love!

I see no body, I see no mind,
The constructed structures had broken inside,
Disappearing into thin air,
demystifying the essence of life!

The unified entity is a state of bliss,
Of no fears or of doubts,
It is space of clarity, love and peace.
Bowing down to the source of all creation!
