All Time Has Been Transcended
May the missed be forever loved.
May departing hearts that bear sorrow,
Lift from darkened mourning
And feel the light of joy
Surround their grieving burdens.
These are transitional times that come!
Like a baton that is passed to herald,
An achievement of victory won!
It does not matter how long the race.
When 'home' is near...
The accomplishment is cheered with approval!
And the eternal beauty that is awarded,
Can never be taken away.
All time has been transcended!
Dedicated to:
Priyanka Nath

Living Angels
May god keep you in his loving care
Until we meet again
Forever missed forever loved
Its hard to believe
Three years have passed
A day does not go by
That your not thought of
You are forever in our hearts
Forever loved
This day is remembered
And quietly kept
No words are needed
We shall never forget
For those we love dont go away
They walk beside us everyday
Unseen and unheard
But always near
So loved so missed and so very dear
With all of our love
They will live on

London Stone
WHEN you come to London Town,
(Grieving-grieving!)
Bring your flowers and lay them down
At the place of grieving.
When you come to London Town,
(Grieving-grieving!)
Bow your head and mourn your own,
With the others grieving.
For those minutes, let it wake
(Grieving-grieving!)
All the empty-heart and ache
That is not cured by grieving.
For those minutes, tell no lie:
(Grieving-grieving!)
'Grave, this is thy victory;
And the sting of death is grieving.'
Where's our help, from earth or heaven,
(Grieving-grieving!)
To comfort us for what we've given,
And only gained the grieving.
Heaven's too far and earth too near,
(Grieving-grieving!)
But our neighbour's standing here,
Grieving as we're grieving.
What's his burden every day?
(Grieving-grieving!)
Nothing man can count or weigh,
But loss and love's own grieving.
What is the tie betwixt us two
(Grieving-grieving!)
That must last our whole lives through?
'As I suffer, so do you.'
That may ease the grieving.

I Loved You And Goodbye
Too many times, we leave things until later
Sometimes later never comes and the moments are lost
We never get the chance to say the most important things
That is to say, I loved you and goodbye
Our lives are like a second in each day
Here for a brief moment and forever gone away
Any tears of sorrow we leak from our eyes
Are there because of our missed chances
Of saying, I loved you and goodbye

You Make Me Feel
How I ever made it to you heaven only knows
With the doors and the windows to my inside closed
I dont now how you got in
But Ill never let you out again
Chorus
Cause you make me feel every single drop of rain
My hearts revealed every time I hear your name
I feel your touch in the sunlight on my skin
The subtle brush of your kisses in the wind
You take my dreams and you make them even more
You make me feel like I never loved before
You lift me high light me on fire
You set me free you let me see
You make me feel
Now it seems like everything you do surprises me
I never thought Id ever really love reality
But you gave me a taste for love
That I couldnt imagine of
Chorus
I feel your touch
The subtle brush
And you take my dreams and make them even more
You make me feel like I never loved before
You lift me higher, light me on fire
You set me free
You make me feel
You make me feel

Mother's Son
It should never be done
For a mother to have to bury her son
In a sad tombstone filled place
Giving him over to the grounds embrace
It could have been anyone
But why, oh why was it a mother’s son?
Who decided to let him die?
What is she supposed to do?
Get back up and start to dry
The never ending tears from her eyes
He was her first and only hers
Now she’s living out the curse
Of life without him on this Earth
She remembers from his birth
Happy times, with no hurt
It could have been anyone
But why, oh why was it a mother’s son?
But over there is another
Bending, grieving a mother
But who is she to have to bear
Burdens that will always wear
On the hearts of mothers everywhere
She sees no life left to live
And yet her heart refuses to give
It is strong and will fight
And live the life
Taken away from one to young
It could have been anyone
But why, oh why was it a mother’s son?

Doldrum Free
God has come to lift me from my doldrums.
There is now a peace beneath my daily bouts,
With conflict.
They are there but I no longer sit with them.
They no longer demand my time...
Found when I am snuggled up in doubt!
God has come to lift me from my doldrums.
Shouting I do with delight...
I hope this process isn't mind to witness alone!
Infighting without insight,
These doldrums I borrowed...
I never owned.
I did not know that!
But I know I keep my faith,
And something about that pleases my Savior!
God has come to lift me from my doldrums.
And it was as if I knew instantly...
Why they were there so long!
I was finally convinced,
The world I lived in and thought was mine...
To fence in defended senselessness,
Was of God's creation!
I am here to test burdens...
Not to market them to insist they produce pleasure!
And when God came to lift me of those burdens,
They were no longer mine to define with emotion!
God knows I am not competent reflecting sorrow!
That task He took away from me...
Leaving me doldrum free as He commands!

Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine
Recorded by hank williams
Words and music by pee wee king and redd stewart
[c] travelin [g7] down a lonely high-[c] way
I knew not [f] where the road would [c] end
Not a [f] penny in my [c] pocket
All a-[g7] lone without a [c] friend
In a [g7] little country [c] village
I met a [f] man and he was [c] blind
As I [f] helped him cross the high-[c] way
Oh! [am] lord I cried his [c] burdens are [g7] greater than [c] mine.
I can [f] see the light of day
I [c] need not feel my way
Yes, thy burdens are [g7] greater than [c] mine.
Met a lad while on my travels
Tryin hard to play the game
Though his leg was very crippled
And he could not speak his name
Yet, he smiled in understandin
Though life to him had been unkind
And as I watched, I cried in sorrow
Oh! lord his burdens are greater than mine.
I can speak my name aloud
Make my way among the crowd
Yes, his burdens are greater than mine.
Just by chance I passed a graveyard
I saw a young man kneelin there
In his hand, there were some roses
On his lips, there was a prayer
On a stone, these words were written
your soul is gods, your memry mine
And as I watched, I cried in sorrow
Oh! lord I see his burdens are greater than mine.

This Too Shall Pass
In the middle of the turbulence surrounding you
These trying times that are so hard to endure
In the middle of what seems to be your darkest hour
Hold fast your heart and be assured
This too shall pass
Like every night that's come before it
He'll never give you more than you can bear
This too shall pass
So in this thought be comforted
It's in His Hands
This too shall pass
The Father knows the tears you cry before they fall
He feels your pain, His heart and yours are one
The Father knows that sorrow's heavy chains are strong
But with His strength, you'll overcome
This too shall pass
Like every night that's come before it
He'll never give you more than you can bear
This too shall pass
So in this thought be comforted
It's in His Hands
This too shall pass
So set your eyes upon the mountain
And lift your hands up to the sky
And let His arms of love surround you
And take you to the other side
This too shall pass
Like every night that's come before it
He'll never give you more than you can bear
This too shall pass
So in this thought be comforted
It's in His Hands
This too shall pass

Last meeting
Eye in eye
Starring each other
With pain of departing
Lips wanting to say
Something
But locked in misery
Tears flowing
Sad faces
Broken hearts
Not ready to bear
The pain of separating
Minds puzzled
Unable to decide
How they shall live
Without each other
It was their last meeting
Before departing

A Lift
you lift me up
you are air and i am a wilted blade of grass
cut from the the manicured lawn
i felt i was thrown
and there you are
the morning wind
just passing by
you lift me up to be carried by your transparent wings
i am as light as your feathers
learning the art of drifting
going places taking silences
always arriving always departing
you lift me up
you give me the meaning of my existence
i am dressed with air and i am going anywhere

Loss
So, what do you
Expect?
Now that he's died
I write another
Poetry on him
As I've done
On all others
Like him…
Do you think
Another poetry
Would suffice
In expressing
The grief
I've been
Feeling…
In grieving him?
Let it be silent
Let it be sombre
Let it be as intense
As intensity can be
Yes, I'm mourning
His loss, for he has
Always been
My all time favourite,
And so I'm at a loss
How to express….
My sense of loss!
Maybe, you've
Guessed it
By now…
As you may have
Heard it
By now…
It's all over there
In the news…
People thronging in queues
To pay their last respects…
To the evergreen, enchanting
Ubiquitous enigma - the one and only

Divine Creation
There is no interface
Between God and man.
The seamless robes
Of Life Divine
Will forever stand.
No Holy Ghost
Nor Savior's hope
The cross remains earthbound.
The burdens lift, beyond the drift.
For God's Creation
Is in His Image found.
Our sense takes flight
Beyond the night
Of earthly dreams we flee.
As we wake unto the light
To find that we are free.
The stellar signs
In ancient times
The message was quite clear
Unchanging Good
When understood
Reveals that God is here.

Flowers Upon Their Graves.
Hush! Do closer come, lets hear the last,
untangle the breaths that ride in past,
when beneath the grave lies and not hears,
shuts the curtains to our simple fears,
don't commune and close the doors to us
we suppose it so, in common fuss.
Hear may you not, if you try so hard,
feel you may not in this grave yard;
for in listening, share the living part
and by feeling, comfort the mortal heart.
We love them so, we loved them much
the mother-wit of the tombs is such,
we perch beside them, in mourning sit,
are sorrow for their departing fit!
Come see! -Aren't graven so these graves,
learn do the fashion in which behave-
transmit not they, through a simple plan
do they what, cant do a breathing man.
The flowers upon the graves I've seen
what colors and scents there haven't been-
as they loved you so, they love you more,
their falling apart cant you adore,
but, that they show are all signs to you
that the aggrieve realms are smiling too.
If you cannot hear, or cannot you feel,
with a sight that the third eye does peel,
see, to the perished not a bouquet give,
when know that they too in dying live,
and from the depths they too hear and see
into a garden turn, wherever be.

Day Of Mourn (Maguindanao Massacre)
11/26
The sun rose early behind the mountains
But never shone its rays on the face of the grieving
Darkness cloaked the land below my feet
Shaken the world with great terror and anguish
11/26
It’s a morn of mourning; a date of grieving
A day to unite and pray, for the departed victims
Come! Join us…… simultaneously, we shall light a candle
Come! Join us……. in unison we shall utter a moment of prayer
Let the candle’s wick burn until justice is serve
Let the grieving souls find tranquility on their grave
Let us all pray for JUSTICE name
Let us all pray and stop this demonic game
Come! Join us…..light a candle for this mournful day
Pray for the victims and make the perpetuators pay

We're Very Lucky Indeed
he says we are still lucky
to have the
blue skies and
green fields and
clear rivers and
wide seas and fish and birds...
i agree.
Despite the burdens,
all these beautiful things
surround us
and make us feel so light
and yes...
very lucky.
tonight, i shall count the stars.

We'll Be Together Again
No tears
No fears
Remember there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part
We'll be together again
Your kiss
Your smile
Are memories I'll treasure forever
So try thinking with your heart
We'll be together again
Times when I know you'll be lonesome
Times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you
Don't let the blues make you bad
Some day
Some way
We both have a lifetime before us
For parting is never goodbye
We'll be together again.
Times when I know you'll be lonesome
Times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you
Don't let the blues make you bad
Some day
Some way
We both have a lifetime before us
For parting is not goodbye
We'll be together again.

Entertaining Two Grieving Guests...
when both of you arrive this morning
carrying with you
your loads of sorrow
i am ready with my arms
and words of comfort
for i will be with you
not only in happiness
but also in sorrow
and i listen a lot,
serve you drinks,
offer
you lunch,
sweet pineapple chunks for desert
red wine for some finish
then you keep on telling me about
what really happened
how things can be unbearable at times
i listen a lot,
i perfectly understand
the pain,
and i empathize with that lingering
grief that sticks
in your hearts like
some kind of a virus,
i offer you more drinks, because drinks can take us
towards other places of our hearts
a little comfort and diversion is needed on these
harsh times of your life,
we let time flow,
temperatures change,
words take unexpected shapes
your hearts begin to catch the fire
of survival
somehow even at this moment you must have sensed
another direction
to move on,
the options are too many
to count
the world is one big
space for
experimenters
this is an exciting world
full of surprises
then you like the way things have been moving
how accommodating can i be,
how understanding
we signified goodbye,
i send you both off the door of the house
we had the last drink
for the road
it is already dark
and the world is silent
as another
kind of listener
and then i am alone again,
taking all the glasses and spoons
back to their proper order
and when everything is set,
kept,
and in place
i go inside my room
also ready to handle those heavy burdens
that are mine and
mine alone
i am in this
kind of state where
sharing them
cannot lighten me
for they too
have been burdened enough
with what they think
they cannot bear
anymore....

Mourning Son
Dawn arrives on Golgotha
Shedding light
On the place of the Skull
The Dawn...
Bringing with it
The Mourning Son
The Mourning Son came
Carrying His
Forced Death
on his back
Shunned by those who had loved him
Mock by those he'd shown his love
The Mourning Son rose over the hill
Held only by three nails
Then
Uttered but four more words
Eli! Eli! Lama sabachtani?
Then
The tears
Burning
Stinging
Weeping for those he had lost

Stay Forever
In the morning sun, I couldn't tell you
I couldn't tell you so many things
About how much I really love you
About how much you really mean
So far away but it's so easy to see you
When I'm away I want to put my arms around you
And I want to know - do you feel the same way?
'Cause if you do I want to stay forever
And I want to know - do you feel the same way?
'Cause if you do I want to stay forever
With you
So many colors that surround you
Some so bright I can hardly see
A light reflects on all the things that make you real
Things that make you truly free
So far away but it's so easy to see you
When I'm away I want to put my arms around you
And I want to know - do you feel the same way?
'Cause if you do I want to stay forever
And I want to know - do you feel the same way?
'Cause if you do I want to stay forever
With you
