Heaven and Earth

I can't forget that sinking feeling
anchoring me to the earth
The grip is so tight
that I am unable to move
Stuck between heaven and earth
my dreams are in a limbo
The wings of my dreams ain't powerful enough
to withstand the winds of change
The tempest rages within
ready to blow me into smithreens
Have seen a thousand storms
yet I am tired of this struggle
No storm is powerful enough
to change my resolve
Yet, I am bored
of this eternal struggle
I have seen a thousand heavens
but they were just a mirage
The weary wings of my dreams
need some rest
They seek solace and peace,
away from the mindless quest
Why can't the heaven
descend on earth?
Why do we have to fly
to reach it?
I command Thee
to make the heaven earthbound
And I will fly
to reach it midway
Instruct Thy winds
to make me soar heavenwards
My heart wants to move forward,
forward and Godward

The Light within

Sparkling lights everywhere
yet my heart lay in darkness
Caught in an abyss
of endless anger and lust
Fleeting glimpses of Light
aren't enough for my soul
My soul longs for the light,
the Light within
The lights outside are so bright
that they blind me
Blinding me to the light,
the Light within
I will not light any candle this Diwali
cause I don't need this light
The light I need already resides in me,
the Light within
God gave me this Light
to brighten the world
Dimmed by my past
it lost it's shine
Till I realised that all I needed
was to allow it to glow
Now it shines bright within me,
the Light within

Let me return

Let me return
to the oceans of serinity
Away from the mad rush
and pointless run
Let me return
to the tranquil shores
The silent zone beckons me
to taste it's sweet nector
The inner music is waiting
to be heard again
Let me return
to the inner sanctuary
Let me return
to where I belong
Let me return
to lose my self
Let me return
to meet my Self
