EMPTY ME ....

EMPTY ME 

The mind on its wondrous way 

started filling the hearts empty tray 

with pleasures and desires of its own 

the heart pleaded and begged 

it even screamed and cried red 

but the mind refused instead 

Empty of all man made 

is how I came here heart said 

don't mess just keep me that way

for that's how I want to stay 

painted only with truth and love 

your actions make me sick 

please stop this dirty trick 

This noise drowns my silence 

it's in silence that I pray 

it's in being light that I shine 

that I hear and see the divine sign 

then with the help of winds of time 

I can take the long steep climb 

Empty me fully oh dear mind !

of all the heavy clutter and grind 

scrub away the layers of desires 

brush away the cobwebs of greed 

so that I can dissolve melt and merge 

with the divine and fulfill my urge !
