of Buddhist monks.  Om Shanti. my own

Pondering meaning
Life, universe, everything
Heavy feeling

Amidst millions
Loneliness epidemic
Restore connections

Could I fly away?
My wingspan insufficient
Feathers of my mind

Angel brings me back
From those claws of death
Moonlight shows the key

Floating peacefully
Leaving stress and strain behind 
Catching calmness

Forest adventures
Lost as...

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti:

A faith-lit  path in forlorn lands
Hold no wrath,  it's ever at hand

Doling out truth in terms of myth
Not far away to be one...

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY

The wings spread wide apart
I fly aimless in the turbulent air
Over the faded shadow you don’t define.

The silver lines disappear in the grey...

Where cheese is spread on the table like an elkmilksheet

Are you sleeping?
Refreshing sleep, Master
Are your eyes open?
You know they are, Master
But you are not awake
Am not, I gasp?
You have fasted
Turned back on all desires,
And still you long
Your mind longs for enlightenment
And still you sleep,
Longing...

Prem aur moh, do alag raah,
Ek pyaar ka, ek bandhan ka sahaara.
Prem mein hai utsaah, sangharsh aur samarpan,
Moh mein hai moh maaya, bharam aur bhool-bhulaiyaan.

Prem mein hai samajh, saath nibhaana,
Moh mein hai lalach, khud ko...

And your cheer ups helped me to move on, dear

There is a particular
Hush among Trees.
A thrum of Silence.
And empty Sound.

Crunches and slithers.
A caw.

Undisturbed by these
disturbings.

We think of peace as
a life without conflict.
We think of quiet 
as...

  and see how

There is no other way, Lord Krishna had said
But to detach, search and go to Him instead.

The scriptures say when the humanity suffers
God sends on earth His chosen messengers.

They demolish the evil, remove the darkness
