Ranu Uniyal: Poetry (Life, Cognition and Creativity)

Ranu Uniyal
To you I surrender 

O my Lord! 
This verse of mine will quell my grief 
If I add thy name to my vocabulary.  

O my Lord! 
This dress of mine will feel like silk 
If only I stitch it with thy thread of love. 

O my Lord! 
This blood of mine will give me strength 
If you mix in it thy healing touch.  

O my Lord! 
This breath of mine will shed its impurity
If it feels you flowing through my veins.  

O my Lord! 
This body like an envelope will keep me safe 
If you hold me tight with thy wisdom.  

O my Lord! 
This life of mine will be free from disappointment 
If you take away from me all my desires.  

O my Lord! 
This soul of mine will unfold thy face 
If you bless me now with thy eternal grace.
***


Let the soul speak 

The day I realized 
I am a guest 

I laid my enmity to rest 
The moment it dawned 

I am a pawn 
I gathered my frown 

And swept the lawn 
The hour it struck 

I might fall 
At the next call 

I started dancing 
As if at a ball.
