Labeled grumpy old feline;
Still beauty is found.

darjeeling branch leaf unfurls

coaxing dreams in soft sweet swirls

himalayan breeze

from far eastern seas

aroma sips hidden pearls.

Himalayan kingdom, heavenly sky

   Sitting proudly, Oh so high

   There's life and death laying side by side

   The beginnings and the ends are just stars in their eyes

   The teachings of the Buddha shows a reason to believe...

Lets burn all differences,
Lets stand by their sides,
Lets let them make our nation pride,
Lets let them climb the Himalayan heights,
Lets let them make glory runs ,
Lets let them bring trophies or cups,
Lets accept it that they are equal to us....

To live to be
A ripe old man

So my advice to you all
Add real salt to your food
And watch your weight go down
And you life extension begin...

Better to reach for something
and miss
than to hold back playing it safe

Destiny in the intention
and choice
hesitance falling from grace

Better to be adopted 
by truth in flight
than the orphan of a lie

Where words and music marry as one
on the highest mountain
—you climb

Five Senses? 
Why would I want them if

Touch is weak when it goes through the invisible body.

Smell is not offering enough of substitute for the freshness of the Himalayan peaks.

Hearing is not needed when Soul is listening.

Taste is all there is to Freedom.

Vision, oh, vision… the blessing and curse! 
I'll leave it in this body, so I could see it better....

Have you met Harvey, the Himalayan bar-headed goose?
He was around here yesterday, fancy-free, on the loose
he is a high flyer like the African griffon bird
Can zoom straight up for hours, on my word

They both can glide to a summit peak of a mountain top
maybe past cirrus clouds, for they do not stop
if you see him, please let me know
we have a telegram for him down below...

Of fathoms far below the surface of time
Crystalline white on the surf you roll ‘n slide
Enduring realms, onyx-deep, where pressures climb,
a glittering dust astride current ‘n tide
Navy lolls where you’re the star in sapphire’s prime
Close to shallows, on aquamarine you glide
Resplendent diamond sparkling on sunny seas
Your quartzy pinks salt a Himalayan breeze!

Whimsical love-in-a-mist
Himalayan blue poppy
Elegant lily of the Nile
Graceful columbines
Playful balls of hydrangea
Ravishing blue daisy
Humble globe thistle
Delicate flax blooms
Sublime forget-me-nots
Breathtaking cornflower
Exquisite blue anemone
Blooms of every shade of blue
Paradise for me and you

waterfalls thunder down Himalayan peaks,
cuckoo calls pierce echoing mountains,
April displays stalls of flowers for customer bees,
pines wait, wearing overalls of pearl white snow,
river flows silent between walls of ancient rocks!

Shed fear. Sprout wings. Float out from arbitrary time. 
Transmute the ordinary; prospect the sublime. 
Twirl till you collapse, exhausted; 
Taste ambrosia; scale the frosted 
Himalayan peaks, where fingers tingle, 
Senses sparkle, shutters from their hinges fly. 
Invite the icy wind to ravage every single
Nerve and singe the savage soul that yearns to cry
Out with a fierce intensity
I'm free!...

The sky.
Bows down,
The great Himalayan.
Making it beautiful 
For every dawn. 
Has disturbed 
The Pahalgam!

What's cause?
Which made it
From resilient one,
Into a crying noise!
After a long run!

The quiet lets
Along the vast,
Sarcasmed valley
Within the peace,
And of calmness.
Has disturbed
The Pahalgam!

What's that?
Marking great beauty,
From the heaven, 
To a hell! 
Of the Earth!...

 A gathering of winged beings soaring down

Creating heavenly mists in swirls among the clouds
 
Destined to hover just below 

A pinnacle of strangled hope

Exhaling their exotic breaths of Himalayan glow

Asphyxiating toxins found clinging to a soul

Basking in tranquility they yeild to passion's will

Drifting quietly to land upon a window sill

Where endurance rests peacefully, unencumbered
...

Look at the beauty of nature 
Scattered around 
People anywhere to anywhere 
Banyan anywhere is gross 

Red roses are red 
Look at the cheeks of the Earth 
Lily and jasmine sambac 
Gathering the rock 

See full Himalayan snow 
Nanda's highest mountain peak 
See what tomorrow flows 
Ganga river serene sleep 

Nature has given us all 
Unique message of life 
Come deleted distance of Mind 
Far removed  trouble!...

I can not move, 
I feel so brittle,
I stare at an empty cup,
Resting on the table 
that can not move 
And 
brittle too ,
with the windows open. 
A train cry , 
A little rain ,
A quiet lightening ,
I get up,
less lonely;
With the windows open .
To see , 
clouds , 
Raindrops
and
little intimacy;
In the shadows of the nights .

Serene and satiny uneasy things,
Wraps in the breath of sea,
to which I keep my seasons naked with bruises,
So you could be calm when you find me .
and slow down the season,
With the sky in your eyes ,
In simple expression ,
So that I can fly .
to a quiet place for us ,
Where we are restless ,
But our pieces remain together,
when we grow as birds gather .

Walking on this green grassy path
In the far spread fields of flowery mustards
Provides a priceless relief to my oh! Tired soul;
Better than the meditating monks feel 
In solitude, in the stupas on the Himalayan hilltops;
Where light winds blow continual, 
And duck-birds dive in and dance.
And it at first saddens a bit, later making me smile,
When I find it, at places, often,
How my old innocent farmer neighbor
Has secretly budged the stony boundary marks....

Haggard honey-loving homies held Hank’s hamhocks hostage 
He hitched his hayrack, having habitual hints hint his huffiness.
Harry harbored horrifically hideous habits, hissing his heebe-jeebies.
Hangdog Hilda hesitated, having heard Hale hinting Harry’s holiness.
Huffy hummingbird Helen  hindered Happenstance Hilda’s hayseed habits. 
Himalayan Herbert, hayseed harboring hazardous hags, hid Hilda and Helen.
Hallowed horses having hatpins hissed, having had hobo handy hangers help....

She sits
She and some
Enlightened in stillness
They face serenity's soft light
In cotton comfort of white
I've laid me down
Some sit 

Solitary surrender
Graces each mellow moment
With tempered voice
Her words sinks in
Suspending super ego
Soul searching seeps in

Freedom floats like birds
Undisturbed, they fly and pass by
The sound of heart beat
Invokes retreat

Himalayan Singing Bowls sound 
Preceded by gong 
Taunya Laya's Studious and outdoor treat is profound.

Atop highest cliffs there stands a monastery
Surely nirvana's nucleus of timelessness
Determined come what may in spite of breathlessness
I'll touch its celestial gardens of harmony
Craving kind Himalayan hospitality
My soul in uphill climb pursues euphoria
Seeking mystical mythical utopia
Mountains sing the praises of immortality
