A day Like Every Day.


It was a day like every day.I had gone for my meditation sitting that Thurseday.It was over by 9.30 A.M.I had to go to bank for purchase of a draft for payment to some book purchases pending.While at the bank I spoke to some of my collegues who had worked with me.Also while returning my music class mates spoke asking me of my experiences while travelling.All in all the time was 1 afternoon when I returned.I cooked and ate.I was seeing one of the C.D's done for me by him.

I feel now I should have called him.Perhaps things would have happened differently.I was not yet normal after those months of travelling.Perhaps fate made me not do that phone call.I received the call at about 2.30 from his friend and I feel that gut feeling in my inside.From that moment onwards,life moved in slowmotion.

Jayamala.

A Dream.



I have a dream of going elsewhere,

Boating to a destiny that is different.

I want to be free from this pain,

This pain of being.

Jayamala.

Here And There.




I just wandered,here and there,

Searching for you,my glow in life,

I could see all the darkness around,

Could not see your glowing self,

I lost you and here I am ,

Searching for you here and there.

My muse in life,my light ahead,

Looking for you I lose myself.

Here and there I see some specks,

I reach and hold nothing.

For you are that glowing sunset,

With dazzling specks spewn around.

I had but caught you,only for a little while.

Jayamala.
