o YOU are like the ocean That pulls me to the shore. YOU are like the rhythm That moves me to the core. YOU are like the therapy I need when I feel low. YOU lift my spirit To make sure I pull through. The time when I’m most cheerful, It’s clear you are there.Continue reading “You’re everything to me!”

once upon a time standing high with you i was taken to a cliff and was pushed down by you with the help of your band… nothing left to hold on but an extending hand  midway, i could hold only to get pushed further down… crushed to pieces when hit the hard ground found myselfContinue reading “A cliff”

Whatever you give away today Or think or say or do Will multiply about tenfold And then return to you. * It may not come immediately Nor from the obvious source, But the LAW applies unfailingly Through some invisible force. * Whatever you feel about another, Be it love or hate or passion, Will surelyContinue reading “About K*r*a”

The world begins at a kitchen table. No matter what, we must eat to live. The gifts of earth are brought and prepared, set on the table. So it has been since creation, and it will go on. We chase chickens or dogs away from it. Babies teethe at the corners. They scrape their kneesContinue reading “Perhaps the World Ends Here”

=== === === I bless Thee, Lord, who hast restored my sight;Where were my thanks through all my years of light?  Thou liftest me again; Thy praise I tell;Where was my gratitude before I fell?  Thou healest me; glad thanks to Thee belong;Alas, my thankless heart when I was strong!  My fetters Thou dost loose;Continue reading “Thanksgiving Deferred”

What do    you believe, he asks.    That we all want to be    alone, I reply, except when    we do not; that the world    was open to myContinue reading “A Gift”

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire.If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don’t know something,for it gives you the opportunity to learn. Be thankful for the difficult times.During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations,because they give you opportunities for improvement.Continue reading “Be Thankful”

When you see me sitting quietly, Like a sack left on the shelf, Don’t think I need your chattering. I’m listening to myself. Hold! Stop! Don’t pity me!  Hold! Stop your sympathy!  Understanding if you got it, Otherwise I’ll do without it!  When my bones are stiff and aching, And my feet won’t climb theContinue reading “On Aging”

Your floating down a tunnel In a little wooden box Your cold and your lonely and enveloped in fog You’ve been prized open and left here to die You should’ve trusted your instincts ‘Cause they don’t tell lies … Something always goes wrong when things are going right You’ve swallowed your pride To quell theContinue reading “Soul Mining”

My notebook has remained blank for months  thanks to the light you shower  around me. I have no use  for my pen, which lies  languorously without grief.  Nothing is better than to live  a storyless life that needs  no writing for meaning—  when I am gone, let others say  they lost a happy man,  thoughContinue reading “Missed Time”
