long time ago
from the womb
of sanctity

Though dreams be rent asunder
our wishes still have wings.

a soul dwells
in ignorance

With absolutely nothing to gain
Perhaps in time I will be strong
You see! Solitude is not my favourite song

Reminiscences of youth,
Image of holiness in her
Youth of my longing heart,

This is India's map.
These drained lines flowing out
Like frantic cries of impotence

This is first objected by few
Who are jealous and violent,
They stand against us to destroy,

Send me the tears that you weep,
Let me hold them here in safe keep...
Let me cradle the fears
you've held all these years...

Two fields away the blue, the shining sea
And ships that slowly glide to far-off shores
Each one a separate world with its own laws;

The fathomless deeps, full of diamonds.

By the signs of the dust of feet
The lion in the herd of sheep

Feeling freedom you have given to do duty,
Every action I surrender to you dear father.

Confessions of Krishna -9

Through your sublime prayers you reached my heart
With your love you conquered me

For the longest beat of this emerald heart,
As a tale as old as time, it takes more than a bloodstone to start.
Wanting to give the unpolished diamonds to the worthy one,
To keep the chrysolite of glee sparkled and to come undone.

Growing wild beside green field of light,
As dawn has appeared suddenly in love,
We have grown with green beauty and joy.

What is this strange vibration
That permeates the air?
It crept upon us silently
And settled everywhere;

In absolute stillness, in abject surrender,
Looking into the core of his being,
In deep silence and solitude,

Continue many things
Will come in the way
Walking to be learnt

When fires have burnt your forest bare and black,
And you are parched and dizzy, and search in vain
For pools in dust unvisited of rain,

Too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days' worth of rice in my bag;
a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.

The great gathering of the elders turned
This time not counting pebbles on ground

Hope for a successful dream
Give me the best dream.

Those only interested in the second part explanation on differences in female/male thoughtmodes may scroll down to the highlighted couplet below:
...

The bible, usually thought of in religious terms actually has far more dimensions other than the religious one. The bible in 'Lilith, ' as well as in the NOVA special on these topics, makes the point that the document was written over hundreds of years, was and is, the attempt to institute a radically new kind of society, one which had been previously unknown in the world.

Conflict over the bible's religious aspects has obscured, its, perhaps, greatest contribution to Western thought-if not to world history-ideas revolving around egalitarianism, freedom, justice, moral righteousness, social organization and the place of hierarchies in human society.

A sense of loneliness fills the air.

Echoes through my mind.

Exhausted are feet from pilgrimage
but not seen yet the Lord's visage.
