Song Of A Jogin

Far across the sky,
among meandering waves of Akaash- Ganga,
a “jogin” sings the song of night.

Drenched from tip to toe,
with devotion to the great Yogi : “Shiva”,
she hums the song of night.

White serene Mount Kailash,
exudes peace of the flowers,
resonates with jogin’s song of night.

As dawn breaks,
sun shines,
jogin opens her eyes,
and finds the great yogi,
standing right behind.

This poem depicts the love and eternal devotion of Maa  Parvati to Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva was impressed with her true devotion and made Parvati his wife.

Jogin : A female devotee totally devoted to god and has nothing to do with the world and its affairs.

Akash- Ganga : The Milky Way Galaxy.

Mount Kailash  :  Abode of Lord Shiva

His Grace

Everywhere,
Lord Shiva
on earth, in air,
flows
his grace.

He knows of
our tears, our pains,
for it is,
his grace.

His heart
resides in us,
knowing our rhythms, by,
his grace.

God’s watchful eyes,
watch from above.
Showering eternal love,
his grace.

Darkest And Deepest Nights

In the darkest and deepest nights,
when loneliness is by my side,
your thoughts glide in my mind,
reclaiming me from myself.

I close my eyes,
to wander in dreams with you beside,
a mirage, an imagination,
accompany me in the darkest and deepest nights.

My heart cries aloud,
a handful of wishes spilling out,
leaving traces of forgotten yestereens,
shadowed in the blankets,
of darkest and deepest nights.
