silence of a moonlit night

A silent night

with the sky full of stars

and the brightest full moon,

that fell from the sky

into the serene pond

and joyously playing on the little waves,

that dancing in the wind..

the music of the wind passing through the bamboos..

Contrasting the depth of stillness;

the never ending chirping of crickets..

the song of a distant nightingale..

the plops of frogs jumping back into the pond

Reflecting the moods of nature,

my heart sang in the silence of my soul..

O! this moonlit night,

that sprinkled with the twinkling stars

and the ancient music

is filling my soul with penetrating silence!

Angel - by Shravan

You are an angel

I don't know whose

Yet who cares?

The flower in yonder valley

is nobody's own

And its fragrance in the breeze

is no one's own

My eyes are open to enjoy the beauty;

And my heart is wide to breath in the fragrance

The flower never says “it is mine”

The flower is there to please the world.

Life - Shravan

Every morning – the sun says to the earth

Here I rise again from the heart of the mountains..

Wake up my love from your slumber;

let me refresh your soul with my loving stream of light;

let the feelings in your heart bloom and

welcome me with the colourful faces of your flowers…

And when I am greeted with millions of dancing smiles in your meadows:

when the dew drops reveal the spectrum of my heart in your bosom;

When the singing birds sing in unison a song of glory;

When the streams in your valley set swinging the bells of ecstasy;

When your frolicsome breeze consoles my burning aloness,

I am no more with you as a stranger or a wayfarer,

And in that mystical meditativeness of the morning mist,

I am an honored guest and companion of yours,

with love, I am patiently awaited – for another dawn of creation

and we join our hands in joy.

Without you, I am just a burning ball;

And with you, I am the star of the world…

Together we rejoice in the temple of creation,

And the moment we dissolve into a singularity;

a symphony of life is born!
