Hope

Moments of sorrow these
Moments where every possibility seems impossible
Moments that hold me in the grip of fear
These moments my own creation of greed

Have I done so wrong
Have I let my people down
Have I taken the wrong path
I have never thought this far

These thoughts now seem to hide
Not even do they come out to engage
Where from these thoughts came from
I have always wanted to figure

Now these thoughts are held
In a potential known as terror
In a suspended state of lack
For every chance seems to be unknown

I have never been in such a state
Of indecision .. of fear
The unknown is not death
The unknown is not pain

This is the fear where words fail
Where promises made falter
Where effort falls into waste
Where plans lead to failure

Yet, there is a voice inside
which says in whisper... wait
And I hope against all odds
That this voice is right

This voice is true, not my imagination
I have nothing else to cling to
As the world around me falls
Into a futureless pit of loss

I hope. I wait
I resign into this helpless around me
I accept that there are bigger things at work
A world about which everyone has written poems about

A world full of holes and danger
And the only things that tides over is Hope
An emotion that promises that life goes on
A prayer that the bigger things would listen

Help! I seek Thee, for my efforts are useless
My plans are but writings in water
That fade away with Time
That brings no good

Those who have hoped for You Love
They.. .their actions have stood through time
For their actions were scripted by Thee
And etched in the heart of life

For they were Thy plans
their actions was an expression of Thy Will
yet I thought foolish me I could
I could do what they couldnt

For they were You
They were Your thoughts
they were Thy energy
They were Thee

Krishna! Show me the way
Let me dissolve in Thee
Let there be traces of me
To praise Thee in Thought word and action

For This brings me Joy
Show me Love
Oh Krishna! Oh Divine Lover
All that is left in Me is HOPE!

Show me the way Oh Lord
Om Tat Sat

ICQ

Suddenly I see you today in a flash
Shanka Chakra Gada and Lotus in hand
Glowing brighter than a thousand suns
And all I can make out is Your Divine Smile

Let there be words and words that come to me
That praise You Oh Luminous One
Let there be thoughts and feeling that emanate
The Joy out of which I remember You

Let there be You in all I can do and get
That bring out the devotion to You
Let there be shamelessness in my praise to You
Oh beautiful One as I feel the Love grow inside

Your Love envelops all this, has and what shall be
Your presence substantiates rather makes existant
All that has been and shall be
Yet I have not seen You caressingly holding me and showing the way

Your Love oh Lord has cleared this mud pool
Bringing out the Love that shaines from within
As a reflection in a muddied water body
Only to close in again due to the habits I have developed

Oh Lord I seek Thee in the thoughts I think
In the words I say In the actsI do
And results I yearn, The feelings that
Bring me joy or sorrow is You Dear Krishna

My entire being is You
Nay I am but a reflection I am but You
Your game for Your sport
Oh Love show me the way to Love

I Love You

Om Tat Sat
