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 ??
