Winter wants to say goodbye...The clouds have come back home...
Embarrassed in their muddy socks...
Rain drops paint the canvas dull gray...
A drenched pigeon sits outside the window...
A drenched pigeon sits outside the window...
Looking at itself in dismay...Hollow red eyes filled with sorrow...
As we look towards the orange gray sky...
We find each other together even in our loneliness...
(Om Bhur Bhuvah Swaha
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya
Dheemahi
Dhiyo Yona
Prachodayat)
O God we meditate on your divine light
Bestow your blessings on us
So that our intellect maybe enlightened
So that we may rise higher and higher
To the highest consciousness
Enable us to meditate
To be successful in all affairs of life
And to realize God...
...
...
...
Winter wants to say good bye...
Through the pages of these books...
I travel across continents and countries...
Crossing great oceans and seas...
I feast upon the thoughts of great philosophers...
And relish the discoveries of geographers...
Now I am in the dense undergrowth of Africa...
Now, in the vast and lonely Antarctica...
Now atop the great Himalayas...
Now in the depths of Mariana Trench!
I ramble across the blue continent...
I dance to the tunes of folk songs
I sing the tales of forgotten people
I delve into the abysmal Amazon...
And slide upon the Niagara Falls!
(Loka Samasta Sukino Bhavantu
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om)
May all beings be happy and free
Om Peace Peace Peace Om
Like Gulliver I am set on my voyage...My flight is inspired by love;
Only God is my companion...
Imagination feeds my thoughts...
And dreams intoxicate me...
Winter wants to say goodbye...
But I want to stay here all day long...
Even if winter abandons me... ....
Because,
I know
God is my companion...
(Asato Ma Sadgamaya
Tamso Ma Jyotirgamaya
Mrityor Ma Amritamgamaya
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti)
Lead me from the unreal to the real
Lead me from darkness to light
From Mortality to Immortal
Om Peace Peace Peace

Nice work. The way I feel the rhythm is like a premeditation phase, meditation (trying to meditate) and dissolution in random thoughts. Did you write to direct in this way or with a different theme?
great work anu.....i really loved the way u expressed the crux of ur thoughts by capturing them into those hindi meditative lines in between......i could feel eliot writing thru ur pen...is eliot ur muse?????
hey....nice ..em speechless.....your words painted the
canvas of ur imagination beautifully....and effortlessly.....wat a cascade of thots.....
Nice post. We truly live our lives when we can distinguish the real from the unreal.
spiritualism and art together makes this post a must read for the bloggers :)
Nice post, and uve got some really amazing picture in here, are they urs? :)
Great photography!
Amazingly simple and crisp!!!
It really was some soothing read! At 6.30 in the morning, no, I do not lie.
The fusion of Sanskrit into English and the alternation between both the verses, bilingual, made the poem a further interesting read.
Best regards.
