(Dedicated to H. H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar)
Down with cravings and out with fear
Restless like a ghoul, evanascent like a tear
Fretting around in cold, sharp mercurial logic and reason
Lusting for the world in every season
I moved feverishly in the cold rain
My soul asunder, my life in pain
I lived the meaningless existence, the endless strife
But it changed for good with the breath of life
You took away my shallow breaths, my long sighs
You gave me love, You gave me the breath of life
You took my reasons and gave me joy
From an ailing man You made me a blissful boy
Jaded my confusions, made my mind as sharp as knife
Taught me to love again, gave me the breath of life
Practices shall take away strands that remain
And one day I will be whole like you free from all pain
I surrender my lust, my greed, my confusion
And pray to be with you in every season
To know my soul, be blessed by the breath and You
To be able to live every moment as new
To be in your grace and spread the light
To be an instrument of peace, to end people's plight,
Give us all the breath of life...
