Om Mani Padme Hum (draft ii)

paani paani ker gaee mujh kO Qalander ki yeh baat

tu jhuka jub ghair kay aagayna munn tera na tann

                                       (iqbal- dayar e ish'q)

i want to write a story

a story

about the waves

twirling around my bare feet

om mani padme hum

the waves from the atlantic

and the caribbean sea

must have traveled

unhampered miles
vying with each other

to embrace the pink sand

at eluthera's lighthouse beach

their foam, froth and fret

and the crisis of their history

to meet the lover

only to move on
and return

AllahHooAllahHooAllahHoo

these waves could teach those

stuck forever in timelines

as they encounter
in their travels and travails

nets, debris, boats, breakwaters

clouds that float to peaks ..

snow, water, rivers 
and back to ocean

love and yearning undeterred

om mani padme hum

AllahHooAllahHooAllahHoo

paani paani paani paani
om mani padme hum
