Light Of Love
Fragrance of Love touches the soul,
The heart feels the melody, makes us whole.
Eyes sparkle with unknown joy,
Unsolvable mystery, a heart’s sweet toy
Day dreaming and sweet dreams at night,
Days passing with a light of hope in sight.
A melting candle arrives at its end,
Flickering flame, may die down by dawn’s trend.
But Love stands strong, fights for life long,
The soul survives, with an incoming spiritual song.
With a message of mystic, soulful delight,
Guiding us through, the dark of night.
In the silence, Love’s whisper is clear,
A gentle breeze, that calms all fear.
With every breath, Love’s flame will grow,
Illuminating the path, as we go.
Through life’s journey, Love’s light will lead,
A beacon of hope, in times of need.
And when the dawn, breaks the night’s spell,
Love’s radiance, will forever dwell.

Sweet Dreams
Oh! my love tell me
Do you see me in your dreams
You come in my dreams
Under the Banyan tree
Beside the lovely stream
Precious pearls seen with Silver screen
Golden horizon rarely seen
Oh! my love tell me
Do you see me in your dreams
I see flowers smile
At you and me
Birds sing sweet songs
For you and me
I see you and you see me
Oh! my love tell me
Do you see me in your dreams
Sun rays playing hide and seek
As clouds scattered hovering in sky
Keep your head in my lap
Keep peeping in my eyes
Your eyes shining with shy
Oh! my love tell me
Do you see me in your dreams
Tipsy with fragrant breeze
Lost in my love so deep
Don’t wake up as Sun rays peep
Dreams are beautiful place
For sweetheart and me to meet
Oh! my love tell me
Do you see me in your dreams

Water Is Life
Oh, Divine Nature, you bless us with showers of rain,
Quenching the thirst of meadows, valleys, and mountains again.
For humans, animals, and all creatures, you bring life to earth,
Raindrops infuse vitality, giving our planet rebirth.
Gardens bloom, grains grow, and greenery flourishes with glee,
Thanks to your gift of water, a treasure for you and me.
Snow-capped mountains and glaciers, sources of rivers wide,
Flowing streams that nourish and sustain, side by side.
Water, a blessing so precious, more than anything we know,
A favor from the Divine, that our hearts should always show.
Which of these blessings, dear Lord, can we ever deny
You are the source of life, and water is your gift to
the sky
