Always be willing to find a way
To be your guide and shine that light
In times of darkness and despair
Travel along your path and make things bright
It really is never easy
There is a lot of treacherous terrain
Maintain your inner strength
Wisdom and knowledge is there for you to gain
Go above and beyond accordingly
The ability is there
Just find your purpose
Have a heart and be sincere
You can go a long way
Always give it your best
Rise above those potential pitfalls
And continue to make progress
Continue to surge a great deal
Work on getting ahead
Be at the top of your class
Empower yourself greatly instead
The world is an open book
When you grab education
More doors will open for you
Continue on with your determination
Success and achievement are there
But, you must apply yourself accordingly
Thrive on doing your best
Effectively and efficiently
Always rise up to the challenge
For the time is at hand
Be thorough in detail
Rise up and take a stand
Always be willing
To accomplish much more
Continue to open your mind
Spread those wings in order to soar
Learn a trade or two
Do not waste your time
Continue to forge ahead
In order to keep it all in line
Gopi Eyes
Tears cling like dew
long Kohl black milkmaid lashes
Sweep hills, dales, softly tapered pastel slopes of Whitefield
Searching for a long-stemmed glimpse

Orange rose of Brindavin
When will you appear again...
Sai Krishna?

We scan the amber heavens
Each golden cloud holds the promise
Of a new era and the sweetness of peace in its womb

O treasure of the Gopis
brilliant sun petals
are strewn across
roads and highways
candles float upon rivers and lakes
even the Sea keeps a shimmering vigil

For that hour, for that moment
When earth and sky melt away
And Gopi eyes awaken
Forever
Set a good example for the youth
Be the person who aspires
Teach them how to survive
Encourage them to reach higher
Always be uplifting
Push them to do their best
Help them to build their strength
And to never settle for less

A simple-minded fledgling
Sketchings in time life's testing

I am apart

Bravery to fight
Never to prove I am right..

Stalwart as a bulwark..

Stark with my heart..

I am rarely right.. I'm up every night

Never to prove I'm right.

But to prove sometimes.. You are wrong..

We all have moments
Seconds really..
Moments to cherish and moments to fear

All along right or wrong, wrong or right..

I know you're fed up as are many..

So fight

Seek and obtain enlightenment despite judgement..

Lockdown your light..

Make it yours..
The power is always there
It really is up to us to make the right choice
We can envision greatness
As long as we do not lose our voice
As imperative messages are being uttered
We gather valuable information
Step by step we learn and grow respectively
In order to build our foundation
Always have that energy
As your spiritual guide
To lift yourself up greatly
As that ship sails along the tide
Waters may sometimes be rocky
But, you must have that strong will to survive
Be that beacon of light
In order to continue to thrive
