Greater than I

It comes back to me
Like the monsoon rains
Sometimes more sometimes less
Thoughts from books and peoples minds
A picture of colours
Or of black and white
Framed for all to see
As time shall decide

Gross and thin the dust settles
As time passes and light dims
This energy called life springs forth
From lips old and hearts young
I search in vain between the lines
To make sense of all these thoughts
Yet what baffles me is when the trees hush
That there is something greater than I

I stand in this vast corridor called Earth
And wait for the knowledge to dawn
I hold my patience to learn the Truth
I learn what is Love when I know no emotions
Yet these words of books and people keep flashing by
Reminding me hurting me
That there is something more
That I am not trying enough

I long to go the hard way
Of stilling breath and stopping thoughts
Yet there is a sea to cross
That the books say is not there
And the people say it is!
Where do I go caught inbetween
I am lost in this mad game
Of love and hate

Show me the Way if there is something greater than I
Hold my hands and take me across
Or ditch me in the depth of ignorance
If there is no such thing as life
There is no option Oh greater One than to hold my hand
So take me across to the shores of Knowledge
The territory of the Brave
The right of the Wise

I wait for You!
I am...

"With Arms Wide Open"

[Had a baby girl yesty 14/12/7 and did not know how better to express my mind than Creeds song]

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything ...oh yeah
With arms wide open..wide open

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything..oh yeah
With arms wide open....wide open
