AWAKE RISE AND SHINE

AWAKE  RISE AND SHINE 

You reside in all that I see around 

It's you who keeps on smiling abound 

you dwell  in every tender loving heart 

your fragrance fills each and every flower 

you are never born and you never die 

you are eternal bliss you never cry .

You are colored with eternity and yet colorless 

imagined in forms even though formless 

you are as vast as the beautiful sky above 

for you are but an huge ocean of love 

with contentment and peace overflowing 

you are eternal truth never ever changing  

For you their is no day evening or night 

you are always a shining luminous light 

for you there is no past or future pain 

you are always in the present  domain 

sorrow and grief have never been your friends 

for they are illusions of an ignorant mind bend 

You are truth you are love and you are bliss

Why haven't you discovered your true address?

Instead of living as your true  tall self 

why are you living a life of  a false egoistic elf? 

You are the king of your body enclave 

but alas ! the worldly shine makes your mind a slave 

You are entangled in this illusionary world 

with all body senses  and desires unfurled 

wake up from this long undesired slumber 

connect with your source and surrender 

For you are not what you think you are

come awake oh soul rise and shine like a star !
