We do not get a human life
Just for the asking.
Birth in a human body
Is the reward for good deeds
In former births.
Life waxes and wanes imperceptibly,
It does not stay long.
The leaf that has once fallen
Does not return to the branch.
Behold the Ocean of Transmigration.
With its swift, irresistible tide.
O Lal Giridhara, O pilot of my soul,
Swiftly conduct my barque to the further shore.
I remain in the heart of Lal Giridhara.
She says: Life lasts but a few days only.
Life in the world is short,
Why shoulder an unnecessary load
Of worldly relationships?
Thy parents gave thee birth in the world,
But the Lord ordained thy fate.
Life passes in getting and spending,
No merit is earned by virtuous deeds.
I will sing the praises of Hari
In the company of the holy men,
Nothing else concerns me.

Listen, my friend, this road is the heart opening,
kissing his feet, resistance broken, tears all night.
If we could reach the Lord through immersion in water,
I would have asked to be born a fish in this life.
If we could reach Him through nothing but berries and wild nuts
then surely the saints would have been monkeys when they came from the womb!
If we could reach him by munching lettuce and dry leaves
then the goats would surely get to the Holy One before us!
If the worship of stone statues could bring us all the way,
I would have adored a granite mountain years ago.

Leave as you've done before to me
Leave for I can't bare to see you go
Leave before I change my mind again
Leave or don't because I can't stand to be alone

Do not leave me alone, a helpless woman.
My strength, my crown,
I am empty of virtues,
You, the ocean of them.
My heart's music, you help me
In my world-crossing.
You protected the king of the elephants.
You dissolve the fear of the terrified.
Where can I go? Save my honour
For I have dedicated myself to you
And now there is no one else for me.

I planted the creeper of love
And silently watered it with my tears
Now it has grown and overspread my dwelling
My beloved dwells in my heart all day
I have actually witnessed the abode of joy
I am mad with love
and no one understands the agony of the wounded.
When fire rages in the heart
Only the jeweller knows the value of the jewel
No one feels the fear of separation
The way I feel for it my beloved dusky one.

Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me

After some trepidation, a little hesitation,
I set out to search for my soul
After some stumbling, a lot of confounded fumbling,
There started to emerge my goal.
I set myself a-thinking, I had a slight inkling
As to where lay my goal
I had to look inside, confess and not hide
To find my elusive soul.
I thought things of import, reasons why I sought
To find what lay in my soul
The reasons I found, did me more confound
And I wondered what lay at my goal.
Was I good? Was I just?
Did the answers lay at my goal?
What path would I take? What would I put at stake?
Would I… be able to face my soul?
I found it! I did, it lay in front of me
An unopened Pandora’s box
Curious was I, and with a nervous sigh
I looked at my goal, my soul.
The moment was here, momentous too
I was about to face myself
Based on my glances, I’d rate my chances
And bet on heaven or hell.
I opened the box, tremendous shock!
It was too early to tell
I’m living my life, what unnecessary strife!
This project will be my knell.

You can't reach me.
You can't break me.
I can't let you take away
from me.
You din break me,
you din **** me.
How can you reach me
if all I am is energy ?
You can't see me
You can feel me
You can't touch me
I remain spiritual energy.
You can't break ,me
you can't slaughter me
for what I truly am
Honey,you were never there
in the first place to see.
I am not who I am
I am who I'm not
A mystery or simply a beautiful truth
I am light ,I am energy
I reside in my body
I run this vehicle
I call me me me
all day long.
You can't touch me
You can't see me.
When I leave this body,
You'd wish you had recognized me.

To the girl who stays home
from school because shes too depressed to get out.
I love you.
To the girl who stands infront of the mirror crying
unable to fight the tears
That criticizes every inch
I love you.
To the girl ,that can't keep her dinner down
Because shes lost only two pounds
I love you.
To the girl who cries on the cold tile of her bathroom floor
With a ****** razor in her hand.
I love you .
To the girl who wears long sleeve shirt in August
To hide all the scars which memory leaves
I love you.
To the girl who pops a handful of pills in her mouth
Just to feel normal. I love you.
To the girl who watches the one person she loves
Love someone else,I love you.
To the girl who has a family which reminds her she is not
good enough.
I love you.
To the girl,who gets critiscim for being just who she is,
I love you.

Crossing the bridge to meet you.
I never knew how to please you
Enough done for the damage caused
I was never this lost.
I take my broken pieces and walk away
My mind in an array of questions with the day
The passing minutes seems to be heaving
Telling me of something I was not seeing.
I take this chance to walk away from you
Your pain I return you
I dwell away from the blues.
Did you think i'd crumble ?
Did you think i'd die ?
Did you think you could break my spirit ?
Did you think you could have me tied ?
I walk on this journey
With almost nothing to loose now
You can break my heart
But can you steal my guts ?
I walk on this journey
as alone as before.
I don't need you anymore
Without you too
I have learnt to soar.
