Falling like rose petals, releasing my pain
Sweat falls from me like Divine rain
...
Ishvara Pranidhana
Surrender ego and gain the world
Beyond my self, the Self unfurled
...
Dhanurasana
What once was hard now seems to me
A joy, a comfort, setting free
...
Iamb, trochee, left unstressed
Decameter, pentameter, words unblessed
...
Complete the circuit divine
Hands and fingertips touch
With gratitude both yours and mine
We chant gently, saying much
...
When my voice has faded
And I am dead and gone
If all my love seems jaded
And all my dreams prove wrong
...
This is actually lyrics for a song I wrote, in a more lugubrious phase of my life...
Key of G,3/4 time
...
Another sad song from the lugubrious phase of my life...gotta write these down while I remember them, since I rarely play them anymore
Key of D

Savasana
Savasana
Hardest yoga posture of all
To just lie still and let it fall
Thoughts and ego, hopes and fears
Lust and love, sweat and tears
To lie there still and to just be
Present, fully, eyes don’t see
Ears don’t hear, no senses impign
Upon this sublime bliss of mine
I’ve climbed the mountain and now I’ll be
Content on the summit of this thing called me
Letting all my muscles relax
Let my bloated ego collapse
Perhaps the hardest thing of all
Still the chattering of the mind
To lose the ego and to find
My self and lose it, slip through the wall
-Sadhaka
