Resonating in me, Such a beautiful space,
I just can't let it be, Now that I've had a taste.
Such a beautiful now, beyond grateful to see,
Past the where, what & how; to the Siva in me.
Sivoham, Sivoham, Sivoham, Sivoham
Sivoham, Sivoham, Sivoham, Sivoham
Not a name, nor a form, Not like nothing I know,
So then how to go on? Along which path to go?
Follow your nose, take it back to the source
'Cos something in you knows what it's looking for.
Arunachala Arunachala Arunachala Arunachala
Arunachala Arunachala Arunachala Arunachala.
Yes it’s all well and fine to just do what you’re told
Towing the straight line, living stories of old
Never troubling to look past the cloth and the seams
To the source of the brook to what it all means
Sri Ramana Gurudev Namah Sri Ramana Gurudev Namah
Sri Ramana Gurudev Namah Sri Ramana Gurudev Namah
Who knows where it came from? Something calling me clear,
Whispering my name, 'There's something for you here';
And I laugh & I cry at the simplicity,
Thiruvannamalai, It all stopped here for me.

OLD KICKERS
Resting behind my breath
In a new landscape of being
You’ve moved in, to stay,
And filled up my consciousness
Battered and old,
I love them ‘cos they’re yours
Stubby and worn,
But shining of you.
Everything is pulsating,
Light vibrating
And at the core of it all,
Mottled, beautiful you.
Boudhannath, 2011

Drawing Inwards
Drawing inwards, resting as
Sitting with the chaos
Here & there a steadiness fractured
Holding firm beyond my quivering grasp
Timeless silence, inner perfection
Timeless silence, inner perfection
Quiet knowing guides this ship
Inner magic of fantasy tales
Deeper, deeper, beauty hiding
Pulsating void within my vulnerability
Inner silence, timeless perfection
Inner silence, timeless perfection
As within, so without
Let it be simple, no struggle, no shout
Barriers breaking, understanding dies
Here at the border, open my eyes
Crumbling at the boundary line, dissolving into a space beyond time
Effortlessly losing hold, dissolving virtual barriers of old
Nothing left, no words to say
Being, watching, holding the play
Revealed within delusion mists
Shining, shining gate of bliss
Revealed within delusion mists
Shining, shining gate of bliss.
Flowing with the tide, going with the flow
Nothing left to hide, nowhere left to go
I never could have guessed life could be so easy
I get in such a mess, and oh, for such a high fee
Bouncing here and there, doesn't matter to me
'Cos I am everywhere, and everywhere is in me
Trying to hold on to what's just a game of traces
There's nothing here all gone; no names, no things, no faces.
Empty-headedness, and cool wind passing through me,
In this life so blessed, and so happy, so free
But watch out form behind, don't miss this understanding,
Don't give it to your mind, keep flying never landing.
That was how it seemed, but was goes up must come down again;
To face what's not been seen, And live on earth amongst men.
It's just the way things are, it's pointless to resist it,
In form I'll travel far, quite happy in my own skin.
Varanasi, 2011

Somehow I heard it
Calling faintly from the chaos
Pack your bags my lady
It’s home time.
Fumbling at one hundred miles an hour
Clueless to the cause
Blind to the deeper knowing
Ripening by its own rhyme.
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Blossoming by its own hand
Transience passing, peeling away
Dissolving into the space beyond
Vanishing without a trace, all gone.
Trust. I surrender.
Sit back and watch.
No more my concern.
Tears indescribable. Swallow me.
Tears indescribable. Swallow me.
