Prayers
TheVedicSite(c)2024
I know that you will never leave,
but why can’t I stop the pain?
The senses are easy to deceive
Life seems to harass the brain
Every moment that goes,
Loses its colours in my eyes
Loses all its fancy clothes
Life and I are breaking ties
Because I am nothing without Krishna
Begging everyday for his mercy,
Without you life is just a cruel enigma,
The Lord saviour on this salty sea
I am for you,
In the daylight,
and in the night
I am for you,
You smile for others,
You hold my waters,
The many voices in our heads
like thunder following threads
Everything is crawling back to you
I get so nervous worrying of virtue
I shake from morning until I sleep
Dreaming of the day I can leap
The Lord will destroy evil all around,
Krishna will lift the earth off its ground,
Keep your mind and hands together,
Let your psyche scream the Lord’s name,
Until pain finally lifts off the cancer,
Until we look around to only see his flame,
O Lord Krishna,
Your eyes are the goal of all sages,
Beyond all karma,
The one cause beyond all causes,
You are the one beyond all dualities,
Beyond pain and pleasure,
Beyond those lands and those seas,
Past honour and dishonour,
Beyond male and female,
Black or white,
Beyond this illusory veil,
The Lord’s light,
Krishna’s splendor,
Rama’s valor,
The heavens’ candour,
The Lord is greater,
Than all the things that dreams can bring,
Than all the love a pure heart can sing,
Krishna lives in those tears beyond your sleep,
Those tears are beyond joy and sorrow,
Those chocked up feelings live in you so deep,
All the sudden life in you seem to grow,
All the sudden more seem possible,
Cold snow flakes could feel so warm,
Flames of hot fire could be tangible,
The soul could be dancing in this storm,
This state is so very real,
It is looking at you right now,
Looking at time’s wheel,
If those waking minds allow
The Lord to light you up one last smoke,
Before you get your mind shot,
You won’t care for the last word you spoke
Because your mind will be hot,
Burning like on its funeral pyre,
Finally remembering its father,
Finding its place to serve the soul,
To serve goodness in full control,
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna !
Louder every day and every night,
To see the universe’s formula
Remembering the Lord’s delight,
In the self and in others,
Stare beyond their ardors,
Stare beyond your eyes,
Look past those impressions,
Past this mind who denies,
Past those piles of illusions
Because the wonder can never end
Contemplation of God can never stop
The delight is real but not in trend,
How long do we have before the drop?
Before what the scriptures say manifests in our streets,
How long before man eats his siblings for supper ?
How long before today’s decency drops and retreats ?
Without God society can only be its own destroyer
Pray out love,
Pray out of fear
Reach far above,
Your death is near,
Pray until you feel fate running through your veins
Pray until Lord Krishna frees you from your chains
