Don't forget to Play

Don't forget to Play

 After all,

life IS just a play

and we are the best actors

God could find

on  short notice

so

don't forget your lines

and

let's make it a love story

they are always good

We'll also add

 some

 comedy

with a little

 passionate drama

of course,

 and we can do

a really nice ending,

where we go off to the forest together

 when we're old and grey

and say goodbye to this world

in each others arms

until we meet again,

on some other stage

Narayan

"And if you would know God, be not a solver of riddles. Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children."

Kahlil Gibran 

 "Beauty is that which attracts your soul, and that which loves to give and not to recieve."

Kahlil Gibran

Inside the ruby window

There are many paths
that lead to broken dreams
There are many lives that end in tears
there is pain rising with each tide
and crushing every heart from deep within
Time has no mercy for any soul
and accepts no bargains in the end
Death is certain for every man
as certain as the sunset
Or the full Moon in July

Oh my Beloved,
Take this battered heart
and scrape away the mud and scars
from this old worn out warrior
He will not fight this final battle alone
and he has already thrown down
his bloodied sword

He's banging on the door
of the tree house
A warrior, gravely wounded
The wind is howling
and a chill is in the air
Death is waiting close
with a dagger drawn

All that has been said and done
means nothing

Within the heart
inside the ruby window
My Beloved rests by a warm fire
She's sleeping soundly
Her face is glowing
in the flame's soft
crimson light.


 
Narayan

What is cutting at my soul

like a jagged rock

What is cutting at my heart

like a twisted knife

What is burning up my nights

like a raging fire

You

and your light

You

and your dance

You and Your

Love bruises

left

on my mind


Narayan

Tired

I didn't swim tonight

just too tired

I want to dance

but can't find my feet

I miss the Beloved

even though she's always touching me

with every single word

Oh Goddess

show me your form

so I can go to sleep

smiling at my good fortune

Narayan

Fickle Heart Narayan

You are just a traveler

on a narrow mountain pass

The views may be stunning

but don't spend too much time

watching the colors change

in the sky

Keep going forward

and don't look down...

or back

There is still much to be done

and only a little time

before the sun goes down

forever...

on your fancy clothes

and fine head of hair

If you leave The Friend waiting too long

she'll take out her sword

and cut you right in half

and laugh as you fall down the slopes

on both sides,

at the same time

Don't forget just why you came here...

the views are breathtaking

but they are just views

and The Friend is still waiting

with a golden sword in one hand

and a bowl of nectar in another

Narayan
