Summer breeze



I know you're there
Like the sun after sunset
Hiding under the dry summer leaves.

I know your eyes are still yellow,
From the nectar you drew
From the flowers around you, in your sleep.

I know you're there, somewhere
Under the clouds. Hiding
In the shade of a big banyan tree.

Watching this silent circus of time.
I know you're there ... like the wind.

We walked down the road



We walked down the road,
On a silent night, riding the moonlight.

We felt our heart and soul,
In the silence surrounded.
We watched the wooden dolls
Come to life and dance.

We dreamed a little house-
Beside a lake, green and blue.
We dreamed the sky would be
Red in the morning hue.

We saw it with our eyes,
The sunrise and sunset.
But, why can't we hold on tight
To this quiet commandant.

Fear


That was me and now I am,
A wasted thorn,
silently thrown.
There was me and there I was
Walking
In the dawn,

Where was I, Oh where I am
In a tunnel
underground.
Who was I, now who I am
I've forgotten.

There was once a time forlorn,
A time when there was beauty around.
There is now more than love.

No heart to feel, but for fear alone.

-- Mohan
