Sacred ghats of Kashi

As divine bells awaken the sacred city,

the soul dives into the corals of calm.

Witnessed the aesthetics of life,

Assorted yet clumsy,

upon the ancient ghats of silence.

Broken beads conquered the shore,

Sacred ash flying around like celestial boons,

Teaching the sacreds of simple life,

where flames and river breathe as one.

The city filled with hope and bondages of life,

Returning to the soulful bliss of divinity,

The city of Kashi taught me the

beauty of clumsiness in life,

Inviting us to celebrate life as it is.
