Where no one is one, and one is everyone
The Ganges flows with stillness.

Turbulent Raindrop
A tear drop spilled from an eye
Flooding across the narrow lanes
Gnawing over the innocent land
So chilling and icy.
Senses numbed, listening to the plaintive cry
Of washed-away delicacy
Vexed yet moving ahead steadily
Searching for a new destination.
Dhols roar, Durga smiles in nature
In between clay and mud, eternity awaits
Where no one is one, and one is everyone
The Ganges flows with stillness.

Filial Thankfulness
My heart bleeds for life’s precious love,
Thirsty for smiles, like desert sands above.
Quenching happiness from mirages of desire,
Blooming on cacti petals, love’s fierce, tender fire.
Innocence flashes on a newborn’s face,
A bleeding heart sings, a fountain of love’s pure space.
Grace ripples through my heart, a sense of peace descends,
Beholden to the divine, my soul transcends.
Oasis of love smiles with lyrics true,
A gentle touch of affection, shining through.
In this haven of devotion, I find my way,
Grateful for life’s love, every single day.
