SIMRAN --- A REMEMBERANCE









YOU are the music within me
Yes,  YOU are always with me.....
If YOU say just once, this is what remembrance is,
This is what Simran means..
Then YOU are always with me...

Just tell me when YOU are not ??
As i wake and the donkey work begins
YOU are with me,
Sometimes with eager expectation
For possibility of bliss with YOU
And sometimes with putting just one foot forward
One step at a time...
Sometimes with trepidation
Sometimes with frustration
But YOU are always with me.

YOU are there when i sleep over,
YOU are there when i triumph in waking up
YOU are there in every song, in every word
A sudden lifting up of spirit
A joy , a smile , a bliss a laughter bubbling up with
A heavy tugging of heart, a pin holding it down
A missing, a cry, a yearning , a tear
Tell me when YOU are not in any of these

YOU are there as i watch illusion within illusion
Sometimes asking me what am i doing ?
Sometimes enjoying the whole drama with me.
Are YOU not there as my feet become light
A dance, a whirl, a bounce, a twirl..
A question , a why , a how , a cry...
Do YOU even know i exist?
Or is this all rosy glass dreaming within me?
Are YOU not there then with me?

YOU are there in my hopes, my dreams,
YOU are there in my fights and my screams
YOU are there as i lay waking
YOU are there in my invitation of dreams
YOU are there in search for YOU in dreams
YOU are there as another day lies waiting...

With every meeting YOU are there
In expectation of one lover’s glance
With every ending the wait for another
Much better much closer chance
I become alive with YOUR grace
And dying a thousand deaths
With YOUR every ignoring stance.

Tell me when YOU are not with me?
With all the hopes of YOU asking me
To leave everything behind today
And  just fly with YOU
To knowing this ---- that if it ever happens,
GOD only meets just once...
And this awful weird pain in chest..
Honestly tell me...
There is a presence an Ehsaas with me
Can YOU deny that YOU are not with me?
This constant waiting within me
Of something about to happen..
I miss YOU so much that it’s like
ALWAYS HAVING YOU WITH ME....

Kya simran ishi ko kehtey hai ??
