For Those Who Are Dead And Gone

we who are steadfast to life
despite the pains
we sing you our last hymns
as tribute to your courage
that never really lasted
you your lifetime

and then we gather again
after you are buried with all grace
with all our innate respects

we think upon ourselves
what future lies ahead of our journeys
we dust off every guilt that you leave us
from our sandals and feet
we go again and walk the paths of our lives
sticking to life and singing the hymns
vibrant and full of hope
each moment is cherished
each vision made clear
for all of us who remain here
we would have wanted life to be forever

Hymns To The Silence

Oh my dear, oh my dear sweet love
Oh my dear, oh my dear sweet love
When Im away from you, when Im away from you
Well I feel, yeah, well I feel so sad and blue
Well I feel, well I feel so sad and blue
Oh my dear, oh my dear, oh my dear sweet love
When Im away from you, I just have to sing, my hymns
Hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence
Oh my dear, oh my dear sweet love its a long, long journey
Long, long journey, journey back home
Back home to you, feel you by my side
Long journey, journey, journey
Yeah in the midnight, in the midnight, I burn the candle
Burn the candle at both ends, burn the candle at both ends
Burn the candle at both ends, burn the candle at both ends
And I keep on, 'cause I cant sleep at night
Until the daylight comes through
And I just, and I just, have to sing
Sing my hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence
My hymns to the silence
I wanna go out in the countryside
Oh sit by the clear, cool, crystal water
Get my spirit, way back to the feeling
Deep in my soul, I wanna feel
Oh so close to the one, close to the one
Close to the one, close to the one
And thats why, I keep on singing baby
My hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence
Oh my hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence
Oh hymns to the silence, oh hymns to the silence
Oh hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence
Oh my dear, my dear sweet love
Can you feel the silence? can you feel the silence?
Can you feel the silence? can you feel the silence?
Hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence.

Sing Your Life

Sing your life
Any fool can think of words that rhyme
Many others do
Why dont you ?
Do you want to ?
Oh...
Sing your life
Walk right up to the microphone
And name
All the things you love
All the things that you loathe
Oh, sing your life
The things that you love
And the things you loathe
Oh, sing your life
Oh, sing your life
La, la-la, la-la, sing your life
La, la-la, la-la, sing your life
Others sang your life
But now is a chance to shine
And have the pleasure of
Saying what you mean
Have the pleasure of
Meaning what you sing
Oh, make no mistake my friend
All of this will end
So sing it now (sing your life)
All the things you love (sing your life)
All the things you loathe
Oh, sing your life
The things that you love
And the things you loathe (sing your life)
Oh, sing oh...
Oh, sing oh...
La, la-la, la-la, sing your life
La, la-la, la-la, sing your life
Dont leave it all unsaid
Somewhere in the wasteland of your head, oh
Head, oh, head, oh, head, oh
And make no mistake, my friend
Your pointless life will end
But before you go
Can you look at the truth ?
You have a lovely singing voice
A lovely singing voice
And all of those
Who sing on-key
They stole the notion
From you and me
So, sing your life (sing your life)
Sing your life (sing your life)
Oh, sing your oh...
Oh, sing your
Sing your life
Sing your life
Sing your life
Oh, sing your oh...
(sing your life)
(sing your life)
Sing your life
(sing your life)

Life Lies Ahead

The wall is long and the fall is sheer
This is not the way to go
Who cares who wears the cocking crow?
You should not jump off the building here
Life lies ahead

The ground is hard
The cement is rough
How else can I tell you?
The going is tough
Life lies ahead

Life lies ahead
Don't ruin it
Life lies ahead

Life lies ahead
Not now
Life lies ahead

LIFE

AHEAD

Thanks to ignorance
The cement is stained

The Loved One

The life of a carmel in a desert,
To that less water it resort,
Yet a life it does not lose,
I have loved and I have lost,
The questions that passed over us,
The answers we never found,
It was a last look into the future,
Bleak it was yet fragile you made,
You tortured me and my heart bleeded,
In your eyes my life was delicate,
Yet in your hands you let go,
To put salt on a wound,
The pride of a noble woman

Do you care, do you know how,
The painted walls I see,
The fine art of betrayal,
I lost you and found myself,
The efforts I made were made simple,
The eager I had you diluted,
To leave when I wanted you more,
The tale of my confusing life,
From realisation to suspension,
To betrayal from upraissal,
The tears can flow but they dry,
The clouds shall gather around,
You wont miss me but I will,
The rain will pour down,
You wont love again but I will,
My tears the rain shall wash,
You wont remember me but I will,
The smile I will have again,
You wont imagine but I will,
The history that joined our lives,
The moments that made us one,
The realisation shall be turned down

The mouth that said shall we start,
The same that say so shall we quit,
In my heart you caused heat,
You never loved like you claimed,
The moment the sea took me by the wave,
The moment you refused to lay a hand,
I desire the bravery of your sight,
To see me flood and never shed a tear,
On a clear moon,
Love brings a clear rage,
The plans I had for you,
The hopes I had for us,
The dreams I had for me and you,
Packed in a small wooden box,
Thrown away and far away,
In the face of a woman whom I loved,
In the face of a woman whom I cherished,
The tale of a falling man,
The uncertainities or particular heights,
My tears are flowing,
Yet your harden more and more,
Was it red or maybe it was green,
To go with the decision full of doubts,
Maybe it was amber in my thoughts,
It was red in your heart and we stopped,
Smile and enjoy for the sad dream is gone,
Rejoice and celebrate for im left behind,
My life, mud in boat,
My heart a collection of broken dreams,
Maybe I wasnt man enough for you,
For me miles you walked a few,
Maybe I wasnt that handsoming and charming,
For me you rejected while striving,
Maybe I wasnt that successful gentleman,
Yet for you my love had to remain,
Maybe I wasnt bold enough to have you,
For you left me holding clothes alone,
Finding you nowhere but in visions,
Your heart had divisions,
But for you, it was imagination,
So shall my legs break in the walk,
For a heavy load upon me you placed,
Like a poor man reaching solitude,
That is me in your fury,
Time shall pass and I shall heal,
For the loved one you have betrayed.

My Ultimate Love

When the thoughts wander to search for you
I simply close my eyes
The string of thoughts ceases to exist
And I see you live and bright!

No moment passes without you,
Thoughts of you never leave my mind
Oh! My beloved, when I am in you and you in me,
Where the question of forgetting you arise

I venerate you as my mentor
I adore you as my dame
I seek you as my kin and friend
You are within me as a flame.

Pour me your wine, oh! Divine!
Let me drink and dance
I am swaying ecstatically in your love
I wish to remain eternally in this trance

You are the essence of this universe
You are the life’s ultimate verse
I long nothing but to bow before this grace
And sing hymns and dance in your praise.

The Methodist

Says Tom to Jack, 'tis very odd,
These representatives of God,
In color, way of life and evil,
Should be so very like the devil.
Jack, understand, was one of those,
Who mould religion in the rose,
A red hot methodist; his face
Was full of puritanic grace,
His loose lank hair, his slow gradation,
Declared a late regeneration;
Among the daughters long renown'd,
For standing upon holy ground;
Never in carnal battle beat,
Tho' sometimes forced to a retreat.
But C_____t, hero as he is,
Knight of incomparable phiz,
When pliant Doxy seems to yield,
Courageously forsakes the field.
Jack, or to write more gravely, John,
Thro' hills of Wesley's works had gone;
Could sing one hundred hymns by rote;
Hymns which would sanctify the throat;
But some indeed composed so oddly,
You'd swear 'twas bawdy songs made godly.

In This Moment

In life there comes a moment when all things are made clear, and my clarity is in this moment.
In this moment I know that I want to live the rest of my life beside you.
In this moment I know I want to start my own branch on my family tree with you.
In this moment I know that I love you.
So as I take your hand and gaze into your eyes I know that this moment is the right moment to ask you to be my wife.
Now, before you say yes think because if you do our life together forever begins
in this moment.

Hope ''Spiritual Grace

Time goes on,
Will not stop for me nor for you.

Hope is the one, that keeps on moving us.
Yes that's true.

True is the fact,
Hope has 'spiritual grace'.

Embedded with strength and courage,
Guide us to run in the race.

Let your hope never die,
Never let it remain away from you.

Hope is the strength,
Strength to run your life all through.

Never feel lonely, never feel sad,
Let hope be there with you, to make you feel glad.

Life is beautiful,
at times life gets tough,

Hope is the one that keeps you strong,
No matter how life gets rough.

May 'Hope' remain be by your side,
May it never gets apart from you.

May it be your strength,
May every dream, every desire of you come true.

Walk alone

Walk alone

Even if you repeat lines hundred times
Life and age may not stop sometimes
It has to move on and on
Whether it is lot or won

What is not good if you walk alone?
It is not going to devastate like cyclone
You cans till bear a good smile
Life is thrilling as such meanwhile

Many may be blessed with children
But that can’t be considered as exception even
But if not blessed with full of family
Take it as blessings from almighty

If time was commodity to purchase
We could have made successful chase
One grows old with passage of time
Neither it’s curse not a crime

What even if you have to walk along?
If something is going wrong
One must face it bravely and surge ahead
Life is to be lived with providing lead

No one can arrest the time
It is unstoppable all the times
No has done it so and may do it in future
One must learn how to live it happily for sure

No one would want to grow old
Wish to remain ever green and bold
May collect through out life precious stones and gold
Would never want to leave and live without fold

Hymn XV: Happy the Souls to Jesus Joined

Happy the souls to Jesus joined,
And saved by grace alone,
Walking in all his ways they find
Their heaven on earth begun.

The church triumphant in thy love,
Their mighty joys we know;
They sing the Lamb in hymns above,
And we in hymns below.

Thee in thy glorious realm they praise,
And bow before thy throne,
We in the kingdom of thy grace:
The kingdoms are but one.

The holy to the holiest leads,
From thence our spirits rise,
And he that in thy statutes treads
Shall meet thee in the skies.

Full Of Life Questions

life is full of unexpected,
life is full of challenges,
life is full of bitterness,
life is full of strife,
life is full of contentious disputes,
life is full of revenge,
life is full of hatred,
life is full of mystery,

sometimes.....

life is full of sweetness,
life is full of joy,
life is full of happiness,
life is full of hope,
life is full of dreams,
you can have all this life when the soul is in body, and you will be able to feel everything because this is real life to creatures who call the''human''
Have you thought to life after death? ? ? ?

How To Feel Free

You had clear stand
Made other people to understand
How life can be tackled?
Save precious time and led

Now you find life to be gem
As you have understood them
Life has been made easy
With the blessings from almighty

You were not jealous
But kept life continuous
Without any reward
But looking forward

No one sided with you
As they found it not true
You were unmoved
Took no steps for fears to be removed

It was not your concern
They had to check it in turn
Truth can never remain hidden
It has to appear any time even

Sun can remain hidden behind clouds
But success may speak very loud
Sun will emerge when clouds are moved
So is the noble man and his work proved

You need not worry
Or feel bad with sorry
Life was never a burden to carry
It was in fact a smooth journey

So move ahead with vision
Let there remain no confusion
You the master and you are the key
You have to decide as how to feel free

Life's Highway Code

Take my hand and walk with me
Through this ever changing world.
Along unmarked paths that stretch ahead,
Where our lives become unfurled.

Each step we take will move us on,
Teaching us countless things,
Growing wiser as we get to know
about what the future brings.

There may be trials and anguish as
We travel along the way,
But we will journey on with hope
And delight in each new day.

Take my hand and walk with me,
Soul mates on this unknown road,
Our hearts are one, and together thus,
We'll follow life's highway code.

Dark Friend, what can I say?

Dark Friend, what can I say?
This love I bring
from distant lifetimes is ancient,
do not revile it.
Seeing your elegant body
I am ravished.
Visit our courtyard, hear the women
singing old hymns
On the square I've laid
out a welcome of teardrops,
body and mind I surrendered ages ago,
taking refuge
wherever your feet pass.
Mira flees from lifetime to lifetime,
your virgin.

Praise

An Angel has come to me
Manifesting much joy
And I stayed a little coy
On his approaching divinely.

He's brought clear signs of purity
Singing hymns of exaltation
Oh, such a deep incantation
Cherished in serenity.

We were granted blessings
What a deep emotion
Experienced with devotion
On a day of celebration!

Strange Thing

Here lives a pocket full of lives with no future
Take it for what it is, its only drunken lies
You should open up your mind, look to the future
You could be waiting for the ship that sails you home
Im going home
What would you give me for the songs that Ive been singing
How could you ever say that youve got more than me?
Mick says that he can never get no satifaction
These days I think I know exactly what he means
What does he mean?
You wont get
You dont get
What you need
Life is a strange thing
You wont get
You dont get
What you need
Life is a strange thing now
Here lives a pocket full of lives with no future
Take it for what it is, its only drunken lies
You should open up you mind, look to the future
You could be waiting for the ship that sails you home
Im going home
You wont get
You dont get
What you need
Life is a strange thing
You wont get
You dont get
What you need
Life is a strange thing now

life is caring
life is hatred

Bird’s Song

Swim through oceans of air
Birds keep time up there
And spend their days winging
Through forests of clouds, singing
Hymns of nature’s style
Fluttering away all the while
Dancing with angels in the sky
Dancing, dancing as they fly
Through fields of blue
Just to sing their song for you.

Mountains of clouds all about
Saviors in times of drought
Gather up the tears you cry
Into your reservoir in the sky
And listen to the birds sing
Listen for the song in everything
From the forests to the sea
From the bird to the bee
Listen and the song is there
Nature sings everywhere.

The sun rejoices each new day
But it rises in the usual way
To wake up the world with beams of light
And to conquer the darkness of night
But still the birds sing their song
A tribute to the day that’s long
And travel through fields of blue
Just to sing their song for you
And then when all has gone away
They’ll sing for you some other day.

God’s With You; Are You With God?

God made man from dust of earth;
To dust, we’ll surely return;
God made man with soul and so,
Man seeks God and divine mirth!

No servant becomes Master;
No creature, Creator;
Yet, man was made in God’s image;
God’s love, no one can gauge.

Man is just a speck of dust
And lives in sin, pride and lust;
Yet, God loves man so deeply,
And forgives him so neatly.

Man lives on earth by grace of God;
His days are pre-destined by Lord;
All things just happen by God’s nod;
But our sins could get His rod!

Man strives to seek the unseen God;
But God is always within him;
Estranged from God is man in sin,
And life on earth turns rather grim!

Why waste your precious time in sin?
Why gather wealth meant for the bin;
Why spoil your health with drugs and gin?
Is your soul befitting Heaven?

Confess your sins to God, man.
Repent; increase your life-span;
Do more good and tilt the pan
In your favor, when you can.
