INSPIRATION

saraswathi
river of knowledge
into our hearts and hands how did you flow
from the heavens of imagination
or from the hearts of inspiration
from the swirling stars of mystery above
or from the hidden crystal chalice of love

your voice like river water rushing
like windsong, fragrant, teasing, blowing
your songs of secrets ancient and divine
unchain our hearts from burdens of time
sing you of timelessness in soul song
free us into a place where we belong

shantanand
embodiment of inspiration
lost we our hearts and hands to you
dare we drink of your enchanting dreams
to unveil visions glorious and supreme
dare we sing your songs of timeless love
and say to this world, “enough is enough”

your love like silent water flowing
flows far flows deep, beyond understanding
what raag what taal can sing you true
who embraces all who come to you
save our own heartsong and heartbeat
imperfect, unfinished, lovingly offered to you
