The Last Breathe

As I pack my bags for what they call my end

I peep outside the window to see light at the bend

Their sounds of song and dance die as I close my window

Locking my home I scan the empty sky as I prepare to go

My only companion my horse and my guitar

For my journey back home amongst the stars

As pictures of days gone by flash in front of my eyes

A few sparkling with happiness and a few loud cries

My horse and I are up on the way to the mountain

Where my end is destined and certain

It's dark and cold here and silence runs miles deep

My horse tiptoes and as shadow I creep

I don't fear the beyond as I turn to have a look behind

The lights from the busy street down are not hard to find

I wave them farewell as if they would respond

I hope they would not forget what is right and what is wrong

Let courage and compassion mark each of their acts

Let honesty prevail as lust and greed distract

I pray they remember what they learnt and what I taught

Happiness boredom or failure together we had fought

As darkness readies itself to engulf me dear

Lots of love and a happy new year

- the year of 2007

Eclipse…….

Worse things can happen beyond wonder
Far more than the wrath of lightning and the sound of thunder
A time when the whole creation seeks place for refuge
And the rage of the dark forces are let loose
As the shadows fly across the sky
And light seems to have bid the world goodbye
As the whole creation is at the brink of chaos
And the enlighten ones in deep prayer
Far away from earth at this dark moment
The battle rages between the forces of good and evil
Silence creeps through the ears and a chill runs down the spine
Shriek of pain and sadistic laughter, the power of the dark had begun its design
The forces of light were brought down to ashes
And darkness covered the world in its blanket
Panic set in the creation
And the enlightened deluded to confusion
Except for one who saw us rise from the ashes
From the ball of fire we rose in great splendour
Light was back in power and the battle that seemed lost resumed with new fervour
The shadows had begun their retrace
Firebirds flew to remove their trace
Dark laughter replaced by illuminated smiles
As light started its travel to earth with a speed of few thousand miles


Eclipse refers to a time in life when one looses control. When our thinking is clouded by the circumstances and mere pain results. But this phase shall be momentary as the firebirds(the spirit) shall rise to dispel the darkness (pain , confusion and anger)

The Sanyasi

when i heard the sea roar
i felt i needed a ship and an oar
and then when i was on a voyage
i kept searching for the shore

i always wanted to travel where no one else had reached
slogged and fought to be victorious in search of success that no one else had achieved
championed many problems and practiced before i preached
and here i am alone beyond anyone reach

i was by now rich and powerfull
people hailed me and plotted against me
it was time i felt i was thoughtfull
i left them all , i the leader of my army

i slept that night on the countryside terrain
i had no bed nor pillows and great it even rained
what was i running away from was my own pain
but that night i felt what i did was sane

i kept up to this nomadic way of life
leaves fruits or bulbs on which i have thrived
all this helped me realise the truth behind this life
'Many good thing can be done if one decides to die poor'
says the rythm of life

today i sit under a tree ready to help and advice
but people around me feel i am crazy and run behind happiness who is a master of disguise

a young man comes to me and says

"when i hear the sea roar
i felt i need a ship and an oar"

and i tell him
"and then when you are on a voyage
you shall keep searching for the shore"

Most people never return from those voyages like i did. they get lost in the sea of the desires that roars.And even those who return are lost in the wealth they have plundered.Only a few are lucky to realize the truth and become a sanyasi
