Shall I Have My Bit of Earth

 Found this poem of mine , thought to share it

Shall I  Have My Bit of Earth

**************************

I am displaced, but labeled migrant

This is my fate, being weak or decent?

My committed love to my Nation

Too a reason to face the situation.

Am a bird without any perch definition:

The nests I make go trash, losing function

In and out situations make me lose my Worth 

My virtue-bond with life is amiss on the Earth.

 

Today the Internation Refugee day

What shall I perceive and what shall I Say?

Am a Global Kashmiri Pandit without edifice 

Shall I be having my bit of Earth in my fist.

Resonance of My Homeland

 A concrete creative piece of poetry deeply rooted in "Siva Darshan" written in Hindi by Jaya

Rendered in English as

Resonance of Kashmir: My Motherland

by Arvind Shah

How do I say a word, to convey

I am restless, my agony, to say

Am in misery, to find and tread His way.

May the vibes of Abhinavgupt, Vasugupt, then

Khemraj, Khemender, Kalhan, Bilhan,

Mambath …  Swami: Ram and Laksnman

Come as A Lucent Ray – A Bliss Vibe to me

to rescue me with a clue, bliss-track to see.

May I assimilate the vibe of the Cosmic Divine Scene:

The carding, the combing, the spin, the weave -

The phenomenon of Shiv Shakti to emanate

The warp and weft: the universal canvas to make.

I, in the Divine Chain, am, each and all, to bow

Committed and submitted devotion, to show

The Divine sages have set luminance to the Realisation

Of the tracks from individual definition to Supreme definition:

The Shakht – Trika – Shaiva Philosophy tradition, for salvation.

I hold the inherent Spirit of Divine Luminance of Shiv-Shakti

From my Divine land, Kashmir: The Land of Resonance

Pray Oh! My Mother Land, the Land of divine Sages and Rishies

Pray Give me – Give me, a touch of your Divine Luminance, to Be

Get my Individual Consciousness – Supreme Consciousness to see.
