Karmic steps – “Maktub”

18 February 2009

Swept by throngs swelling around me
Peopled with king and commoner
Reined in by  invisible yokes of reason
and the warm tyranny of the familiar

Opened my eyes again
To hear a man call my name
As I reached for him I found a prayer
Seems to me we walked on water

Did I dream up the stranger?
I’m no longer sure I understand
The crossing deepens with every truth I discover
Sometimes I need a helping hand

I’ve stood outside the banks of heaven
Wondering if I’ll ever want to belong
Too inured by what sometimes surrounded me
To reach for that which, lay beyond

I’ve seen faith and action shorn of each other
Watched whole armies pick either bow or arrow
I’ve mocked warriors like that, been one myself
For thus I was led, but I no longer follow

I hold the thought and walk off my pier
with hands outstretched to grasp the other
and I’m on feet that are yearning to rediscover
The feel of karmic steps carved on water

Before one million comes one – “Maktub”

17 February 2009


There was one
who gave dignity to the dying
who brought hope to the living

There was one
who gave to a different degree
who proved with certainty
That before one million comes one.

There was one
who gave a handful and a smile
who brought rest for just a while

There was one
who did what was possible
who took small sacrifices & built a miracle

There was one,
now there are a million
There was one,
now there are a million

Coz when the horizon of a desert speaks of an ocean
A rain cloud is god sent, a raindrop is  ecstasy
before one million comes one,
each similar to a different degree.

Mindstreet – “Maktub”

16 February 2009

Mmm ..I take a step, in my sleep
The id lies bleeding in  mindstreet
My angels shot full of holes
But now I know how to get him home

Cos in this world, made of myth
The rules change with every beat
There’s magic in the air
Cos here the gods hear your prayer

Come act your dream in mindstreet
Do what you want, go where you please
Kick the devil in his B’s
Stop living on your bleeding knees

Will not give up, they say
This is the way to serendip
Close your eyes, learn to breathe
The oceans are just a few thoughts deep

Believe me, not in me
The messenger is rarely worth it

If you wanna trip, go inside
Where the secrets of the universe hide
And this is how it’s meant to be
The journey is the way you pay the fee

Come act your dream in mindstreet
Do what you want, go where you please
Kick the devil in his B’s
You don’t have to live on your knees

Keep coming back, oh yeah
Human kind has always sensed this track
Feels better every time,
to know that we are all divine

Come act your dream in mindstreet
Do what you want, go where you please
Kick the devil in his B’s
Stop living on your bleeding knees

In mindstreet, in mindstreet

Maktub – “Maktub”

15 February 2009

You ain’t dead yet
You’ve just stopped living
You ain’t alive yet
Just b’cos you’re breathing

There’s really more than you can take
between the shadows and the sun
But which part of you will hear what I must say,
the creator or  just the creation?

You ain’t dead yet
Go on, take your next step
For if you cannot see beyond today’s inheritance
Then the god in you is dead

There’s really no feeling that our souls can’t taste
between the shadows and the sun
But which part of you will hear what I must say,
the creator or just the creation?

Coz half empty, half full
It’s all inside your head
& sometimes what we think is the truth,
is  just a matter of context.

You see, we’re blessed with choices.
we fear what we don’t understand.
Life ends, that makes it beautiful.
God knows , so he lives in the mortal man..

I say to you, it is written
And by your hands it is rewritten
In those sacred moments,
when the creator walks through the creation

An ode to life – “Maktub”

14 February 2009

I’ve seen new life
And there’s new life in me
I wonder how you feel
When you see all that you see
