35

 

The walls are up, curtains drawn, 

The stars are sleeping, the sun is gone.

I'm hoping that it's just a bad dream

A passing phase, that'll soon be gone

And even as the moon fades away,

I'm waiting for the light of dawn

I've gotta wake up, wake up! Get up and dance.

Jive, Be alive while I’ve got the chance

I've gotta wake up, wake up! Rise and shine 

If there’s gonna be light, it’s gonna be mine!

The years are stacking up, on top of one another,

Bright and happy colors are slowly getting darker.

Before it’s too dark, before I get too deep

Gotta get some light into my heart, get lighter on my feet.

I've gotta wake up, wake up! Get up and dance.

Jive, Be alive while I’ve got the chance

I've gotta wake up, wake up! Rise and shine 

If there’s gonna be light, it’s gonna be mine!

Shred all the curtains, get up dance

Tear down the walls, while I’ve got the chance.

There's a light in my heart, I've gotta let it shine

If there’s gonna be light, yeah it’s gonna be mine!

The Christmas Tree

Dressed in green, with a golden sheen 

Is the prettiest tree that I've ever seen.

In a deep dark wood, the tree stands tall,

Wearing the warmest winter shawl

With balls and ribbons of red and gold,

And candy cane that won't grow old.

There's fresh white snow on the deep green frills,

And warm lights glow in the winter chills.

Tiny bells tinker, gifts wait at it's feet,

A starry crown cradles the Christmas heart-beat.

Ever-expanding comfort zones

A safe circle, small and round

Beyond, raging fires abound

Step out, step out, oh Warrior within

Step out, embrace it, thicken your skin

Learn to fight, increase your might 

Open your eyes, embrace the light.

Explore unchartered territory

Live life king size on the periphery.

का रे अट्टाहास तुझा हा
- आयुष्याला हेतू असावा
कशास रे ही ओढ तुझी की
- जीवनास एक दिशा असावी

काय भले अन काय गैर हे
ठरविण्यास का उत्सुक सगळे
कोणास ठाऊक आयुष्याचे
गूढ अर्थ हे कुठे हरवले

आज इथे जर खाली उतरुनी
बोलू लागला तो दयाघना
"सर्वच आहे व्यर्थ सख्या रे
अशीच माझी मनोकामना "

काय म्हणावे अलिप्त अश्या ह्या
निर्मात्याला, कृपाकाराला
"युधिष्ठिराला जमले नाही ते
आम्हास सांगतोस करावयाला ?! "

I'm a princess!

I’m a princess!

A dainty little princess.
I’m gonna wave a pretty wave,
And send a thousand flying kisses!

I’m a princess!

I see you smiling at me impolitely

Longing for a dance.

But I’m hunting for a Prince tonight

And you don’t stand a chance.

So stand back, and watch me.

Watch me as I jive!

I mean it - stand back! Don’t touch me, boy!

A fairy tale is alive!

And I’m a princess,

A very pretty princess.

Silky dresses, 

Silky tresses,

And silky skin to touch, (Oh my!)

Even angels are too shy

To watch me when I’m swishing by!

Coz, I’m a princess!
A dainty little princess
I’m gonna wave a pretty wave
And send a thousand flying kisses

I’m a princess!

The 151

Back in the old days
When I was still in school
I passed my teen-age
But I was still a fool
Not that I’m not now…
But now I’m cool.
I wasn’t hot then,
’N still I ruled!

 All the music
Kept me on my toes
I had a band then
And we did some shows
I thought we rocked some
Coz’ we had some pro-s
We weren’t awesome,
But we were pretty close!

 I was high on emotion
Love was a fancy notion
I was drowning in its ocean
zoo zoo zoo…
I was high on emotion
Even higher on devotion
Din’t need no motivation
ooh ooh ooh…

When the guitars played ,
And I’d sing along...
There was a bond made
And it was very strong.
So much energy
 In every song
Back then we all stayed
all.. All night long!

I was high on emotion
Love was a fancy notion
I was drowning in its ocean
zoo zoo zoo…
I was high on emotion
Even higher on devotion
Din’t need no motivation
ooh ooh ooh…

 So come on!
Let’s keep up the fun
Hey all-nighter, Here we come!
Like we’re high on Bacardi rum
And not the regular… The 151.

Leap of faith

I open my heart 

In a way I have never before,

I let it drop … Drop from the sky… and I watch it fall..

My little heart…

My timid little, helpless little heart.

I watch the sun shine on my heart, and on the world beneath.

A magical world...

A beautiful world… 

The existence of which has but a chance of 1 in 10 raised to 139!

An utterly impossible probability… yet some how it miraculously exists!

And so my heart falls, helpless, but with growing wonder..

The possibility of annihilation is undeniable, yet… I open my heart and let it drop

A drop in the ocean of consciousness - a consequential drop.

The roaring wind against my face, my hair, wakes me up.

Thoroughly refreshing all my senses.

Exalting the magnificence and fragility of life 

My little heart now beams with joy as the skies fall around it.

It knows no sorrow… 

No fear……  

Only faith.

It stares in the face of the wind...

...and finally opens itself to it.

And then…..

…..

…. I fly.

I fly with the wind - where-ever it will take me.

The sky is now my friend…

But the earth - my affection.

So I ask the wind to take me further... further below… where my love awaits.

I touch the ground - soft as a feather… 

And land in your open arms.

Such bliss I have never known, not even in flight.

And so I dropped my heart if only for this felicity…

Never would I have known that my little heart could contain so much…

Such joy! Such faith! And Such love!
