There is no time to speak
When I am at work
There is no need to speak
When the work is over
...
Should YOU show up when I am in bed
Still awake
All aware
Neither sunk in regrets
...
Dear friend! Lose the weight of your SELF.
The heavier you carry your SELF
The harder you might fall
...
To the sun I rise
With the sun I climb the height of life
With the sun I hang in the open sky of life
With the sun I climb down

No Time To Speak
There is no time to speak
When I am at work
There is no need to speak
When the work is over
Let the work speak for itself
Rather than its doer
I learned thisfrom the Creator
Who speaks to me
Only through her Creation.
