Just the Little Things

 

In the chaos of the days that fast sway,

Just the little things of life often slip away.

We complicate what’s so simple and clear,

Missing the magic and joy that’s always here.

 

A kind word whispered, the comfort of a gentle touch,

The laughter of friends, oh we miss so much!

A radiant smile of a child, so pure and bright,

A hug that’s warm, these little things to delight.

 

A smile exchanged on a busy street,

The way the rain taps a gentle beat,

The warmth of sun, the feel of sand,

The everyday miracles are close at hand.

 

The fragrance of tea in a quiet park,

A favourite book and a hopeful spark.

For in these little things we see,

The essence of life’s purest glee.

 

We chase the grand, the far-off dreams,

Yet happiness is in simple streams,

For in the simplicity of little things we see,

The essence of life’s purest glee.

Echoes of Absence

In the silent spaces between heartbeats,

Is the quiet aftermath of shattered dreams.

Promises whispered, now lost in the mist,

As our souls part ways with a tender lingering twist.

A journey once begun with hearts entwined,

Now diverges, leaving memories behind.

A love once vibrant, now fades to grey,

As shadows lengthen at the close of day.

In dreams, we meet on a distant shore, 

Where time stands still, and pain is no more. 

But morning breaks, and I face the day, 

With echoes of absence that won't fade away.

In the tapestry of life, threads rearrange,

With separation’s embrace, a chapter to change.

So let us honor the love that bloomed bright,

In its transitioning, let us find some strength and light.

For in the art of separation's embrace,

We discover strength, we find our grace.

To cherish what was, and bid farewell,

To welcome the unknown where dreams propel.

So onward we journey, hearts renewed,

In the canvas of life, colors imbued.

With each step forward, a healing dawn,

Embracing the beauty of letting go and moving on.

By The Light of The Moon

I see a shy, quiet moon tonight,
In the radiance of the purest light.
Hiding in thick clouds, hanging in the air,
The moonlight wisdom is for us to share.
I listen as you define this sensation,
The miracle of our intimate connection.
What makes me weep when I make my tune?
Tonight again by the light of the moon.

In the moon’s silver white reflection,
I see Master’s marvelous perfection.
Imitates amazingly as the moon appears,
Varying patterns of my own behaviors.
Smiling often, with its crescent curves,
But some nights, dissolves in clouds of tears.
Shines brightly like a brilliant sun,
But tonight seems He’s missing someone.

Every night you embrace me tenderly,
In our endless conversations wordlessly.
Like a new moon, once more I must begin,
The winds will bring back the colours again.
One day my pain will become my cure,
As for the moon's light, there’s sun for sure!
What makes me weep when I make my tune?
Tonight again by the light of the moon.

When Tears Are just Not Enough.wmv

A soul grieving in the hope of release,
I need you friend, don’t forget me please.
My life is a little in despair,
A reason to smile, can’t find anywhere.
 My words to you are just a few,
“Need You to Care, Please Can You?

Bare feet I walk up to miles,
Hunting for shelter my heart cries.
The day ends with no piece of bread,
I feel I am better off dead!
Days of hunger and sleepless nights,
No more I find the strength to fight.

All around I see people die,
And I see my folks cry.
I swear I cannot take it,
Yet I try, so hard I try!
Our lost serenity will we ever regain,
Or will we long harbor the pain?

Hurting carries on,
Never seems to go away.
Bring us a better tomorrow,
So we forget our today!
Want to get out of the black cloud now,
But need someone to show me how!

My life will never be a luxury
I know, but I can’t take this misery.
I hope God hears me pray,
And sends you to show me a way.
As all I need is a single ray,
Just for a little brighter day.

I put aside the grieving,
And try to be strong.
I wipe away the tears,
As life must go on!
But how do I move on, there’s no place to go,
Are you there for me? Is all I want to know…

A Gracious Call

I hear no words but You talk to me,
Like the waves hitting the shore silently.
I touch no being and I see not with open eyes,
In my soul your kingdom resides.
I feel my aura dancing in bright constancy,
Heart making lyrics, soul singing divine testimony.

Oh Glory, is it You who is calling me?

I say I want to hear Your voice,
And thunder rolls over the skies!
I say Oh Lord, Speak to me!
And the birds utter silently.
I tell you Oh God let me see You,
And the stars shine so brightly!
Oh I see the world like never before,
The trees, the mountains, the seas and the shore.
I seek you in rivers deep, the skies high, the people I see,
Oh Gracious! I feel this is You who‘s calling me!

Unfold to me the divine phantasm,
And spread out for me what yet is unknown.
Hold my hands and take me further,
Within myself and even beyond
Show me the secrets of light, the mysteries of dark.
Further from limits and beyond the control,
Let it happen to me, Oh Lord! Let it happen to me.
As I know this is You who is calling me!

Alina Sayani

Walking With Waves

Walking with the waves,
I went talking with the rays.
In the cool winter night,
Under the half moon light.

I could hear You so loud,
Under the dark blue cloud.
And a star shone so bright,
As my heart reflecting light.

Loud noise of the waves I heard,
Yet the sea so calm, I wondered.
Like loud cries of constancy,
In silent dialogues of You and me.

I felt the heaven so warm,
With You holding me in Your arm.
How loud waves settle down at ease?
Frantic patience, my heart agrees!

As I walked along the shore,
Inside me, I heard lions roar.
Like a prisoned entity I may be,
And my soul urging to be free!

Alina Sayani

Conquer The World!

High above limitless skies, may you soar on eagle’s wing,
In symphony of life, melody you may always sing.
May your sun always shine and your sky be forever blue,
There is beauty in your dreams, the future belongs to you!
Face what you fear and you dare not quit
Conquer the world and Yes You Can Do It!

Strive to succeed even if you may lose,
Path of love and acceptance forever you may choose.
Risk flying high, fear not you may fall low,
Tis then you really know how far you can go.
With the power of hope and courage be your sword
May not be now but you must conquer the world!

Wonder not what from you the world needs,
Fashion your life as garden of beautiful deeds.
Reflect on what draws you close to life,
As the world needs those who have come alive.
Be what you are and believe in oneself,
You will conquer the world when you conquer yourself!

A Prayer from Deep Within

I am a daughter O Almighty God,

I ask for nothing but dear God,

Hear my prayers and bless my parents,

They are ones whom no one can replace.
They love me through thick and thin,
They show me the light from deep within.

Grant them health, protect them from evil,

Forever with humility may I follow their will.

You sent them to be Your image of Authority, 

May their lives be filled with love and serenity.

Help me forever to love them fervently, 
Give me grace to honour them truly.

And I am a sister dear Lord,

I ask for nothing but dear God,

If ever my sisters cry their lonely tears,

Give them strength to fight their fears.

Coz if by chance, I happen to die,
They’ll be the ones who would really cry.

I am also a friend my Lord,

And I ask for nothing but dear God,

When my friends seem breaking down or crashing in,
Guide them through and forgive their sins.

Words can never explain how I feel about them,
But I hope they know that I truly love them.

You made me a human afterall,

How can I be perfect, my hands are small.

My eyes have yet not seen the world closely,

Protect me please so I explore safely.

My heart is sensitive and my feelings tender,

To You with humility I wish to surrender.

Free me Oh God, from pride and wilfulness, 

And from sloth and stubbornness, 

In all my duties make me diliginet, 
In trials and tribulations, may I be patient.
Make me worthy to be called Your child, 
You’re my eternal Father in Heavens so bright.

Alina Sayani

Urge of My Soul

                                       

I am not, but a drop of a Whole, 

A dispersed piece of the Soul.

Just at a glance, you seize myself,

And dye me in colours of yourself.

You define love in a whole new way,

You are inside me night and day.

Forever I would hold the moment,

In a bit, like a lifetime spent.

Absorbed in every breath I take,

Your desire I can never forsake.

Every bit of me screams in Love so much,

You nurture me with Your concealed touch.

My urge for You so mesmerizes me,

That I withdraw and You become Me.

Alina Sayani

Act of Forgiveness

See how ducks teach us spiritual lesson,

Just watching them also is meditation.

Utterly present in the moment at ease,

So dignified! Silently they float in peace.

Aware and conscious as a timeless devotee,

As perfect as a mindless being can be!

 

At times two ducks fight for no obvious reason,
Or when one strays in other’s private possession.
Clash ends in seconds, calmly they separate the way,
Vigorously flapping wings few times, gently they sway.
In serenity they move on in their own trend,
As if the battle had never happened.

 

Observing their act for the first time I believed,
By flapping wings, excess energy the ducks released.
Preventing from being trapped in their body,
Keeping away from converting into negativity.
Natural wisdom this is, easy for them to let go,
They don’t have a mind, with false self or ego.

 

Offer no resistance, let life to flow through,
Resistance is your mind; acceptance frees you.
Accept what can’t be undone, surrender to what is,
Forgive every moment, allow it to be as it is.
Submit your self to divine intelligence,
And He calls us the best of His creations!

Stations of Soul

Contentment, ultimate desire, then Love,
Like the river, then ocean and so the shore.

Earth, fire inside, and then the light,
As coldness, rain and then sunlight.

Separation, Oneness, then endless yearn,

Destruction, calmness, hence evolution.

Knowledge, self-restraint, then illumination,
Stillness, then silence, then revelation!

Signs of understanding for me and you,
This transitory world is of little value.

Alina Sayani

All Inside of You

In the deepest depths of your entity,
A kingdom is concealed in secrecy.
There is day inside, there is night too,
The world is hidden all inside of you.

 

When malice casts its gloomy shadow,
Fear prevails when you let it grow.
When grief masks upon true value,
Darkness spreads inside of you.

 

As faith supremacy conquers fear,
Spirit smiles, colours of love appear.

When rivers of light flow all through,
Sun shines bright inside of you.

 

Each time a new "you" will evolve,
When unique thrills inside resolve.
Sorrows, happiness all veiled in you,
There’s life inside, there’s death too.

 

Deep inside heavenly seeds are born,
Same place within, are worldly thorns.
Contend the rivals, guard inside of you,
There’s divine silence, there’s evil noise too.

 

Alina Sayani

Awaken The Soul

Profuse riches and worthy treasure,
Possessions in plenty all you gather.
You build your forts here-to-fore,
Bountiful colours of fake, you adore.
None of these with you will remain,
Bare woodlands will be your domain.

Oh my heart, why indulge in sleep,
The journey to divine is yet so deep.
Seek nothing now, but the Source,
That is the remedy, the Only force.
Like clouds, survival passes away,
Awaken the soul, travel Enlightened way.

Oh beloved, death lingers over your head,
Will suffer many cycles, if in this you forget.
Love for Divine is the light of essence,
Without it is an ocean of darkness.
Set free from illusion, surrender in Love,
Be one in Him and rise above!

Beauty All Around He Spreads For Me




In His heavenly canvas with love only,

Created the world when He felt lonely.

Acts so artistic when He composes a life,

In a lump of clay He pours in His light.

Sprinkles love to mould in the mixture,

Till he crafts it in His own picture.

He is the Lord of utmost glory,

Beauty all around He spreads for me!

Lit the sun and fixed it in sky,

Tossed the stars up in the high.

The love Sun holds for the Moon,

Tenderly brings it out from gloom.

Sun offers its flaming golden caress,

To make the moon glow in the darkness.

All work of nature embraces love for me,

Beauty all around He spreads for me!

Glosses of paint He sprays in the garden,

Gives them life, dresses them to be flowers.

Fanciful blossoms display their colours,

Invite the bees to be their lovers.

Deep in love, honeybee kisses the petals,

In the fond of nectar, lovingly it settles.

With all this love, He brings me honey,

Beauty all around He spreads for me!

When Love Comes, It Never Knocks!

When love came to me,

It never knocked.

The spirits blended,

Emotions interlocked.

Feels like some heavenly force,

For this is love ofcourse.

Your blissful presence,

Now dwells in my essence.

Being with you, how well I foresee,

A perfect place it is meant to be.

A special world for you and me,

A pleasant bond no one can see.

My love for you is so strong,

You’re the melody to my song.

I hear in every verse I sing,

Ecstasy you always bring.

Oh you are so like me,

You are my remedy.

When I look in your eyes,

I witness paradise.

My heart dances in serenity,

Oh you complete me perfectly.

My love, I give you my heart,

Without you, I would fall apart.

It’s you, yes you, only you!

I Love You, yes I aver!

I love You Forever!
