Live in the moment as long as you can have your chance





 The sky is filled with stars and the sun,

This earth with life vibrant.

Life is an ebb and flow of seasons

Teaching us, by most satisfying reasons, 


In the rhythm of ebb and tide of eternal time

I got my ineradicable place in the universe

Alone in endless, stillness, calmness of the universe


In consummation of right harmony

My entry was perfectly faulty

The song of life is out of key

Yet, I harken the fragments of timeless recurring melody

Light dancing melodies

Breathing through the tragic stops not being melancholy 


When someone is thrown into perilous circumstances

The one may well display surprising vitality.

Create and express individuality

Don't blend into the herd unseen

Walking down the street 

Blowing amidst creatures in between


 Those who cannot adapt die off, 

 While those who survive are of the best stock



The Earth spins and revolves around the Sun

Out of this wonder my song is born.

Show strength and affirmation


Dark firmament lit with gleaming and wandering stars

Wondrous vastness of creation

Bright and glorious is that revelation,

Sublime moment of

Exultation of existence

Feeling alive and not just existing

Living and Breathing

Even when out of breath 

Stillness that surround 

Exhausted to the core

Strange exhaustion

Emotional burden



In trouble to be troubled,

Is to have your trouble doubled


Mind infused with the surprise that the smell of flowers

Make promises by the hours

We live in time - it holds us 

And moulds us



Spread around me are mighty delightful blessings.

I don't want to cut the strings 

I have lent my ears, opened my eyes, 

Trying hard to recognize

Being wondrous yet sensible and wise,


On the bosom of this earth poured forth my life,

Looking for the unknown in all that I know.




This wonder brings forth my song

Enters the blood 

Like a tender sleeping bud

Bursts into bloom

Eyes that explore this world out to till the ending doom.


The floating tumours in the brain 

The pounding inside the brain

Sends through the spirit a spark

Tells me to make a mark

Those glowing in the dark

Realization that through my nerves flows

When one comes invariably 

Reflection on the big questions of life and death


O'mind the world is a deep, dark pit. 

At the bottom of a pit

That sun has never lit,

On every side, death casts forward his net

You  can't hide in the ebb and flow

Lie low

You take nothing with you when you go.


Life after death 

Spirit or soul 

Is there in every culture.

The great cycle of life and death

Seem as vague and hazy like a dream.



Darkness would wrap itself around me, 

filling me with a veritable ecstasy of emptiness



If when I die I will live again, 

And some thinking, feeling,

 Remembering part of me will continue.


Despite the ancient and worldwide

 Cultural traditions that cultural beliefs

They mystify and bring relief


Asserting an afterlife, immortality 

In ancient Mesopotamia, Egyptians, Hebrew, Greek, Romans, Old testament, The Gita, Chinese, Tantric, Anglo-Saxon


It feels like a formation of beliefs, wishful thinking,

If it was really true no matter what

And I can trust my gut

The door is slammed shut


I could satisfy my deep interests and ambitions

Only if I had proof the authenticity of the traditions


But if it's an endless dreamless sleep

A shadow so deep;

My passion would remain a forlorn hope

Fulfillment of my wishes has no scope


This perspective has given me

 A little extra motivation to stay alive!

Thrive and survive


In our vulnerability, 

Looking Death in the eye 

Don't make me breathe a sigh

Being grateful for every day 

The brief but magnificent opportunity

Life grants

Life is but a momentary glimpse of the wonder of this astonishing universe

Not a dream or spiritual fantasy
