time to turn back

it’s time to turn back
not just to clear the rack
but to make a new pack
filled with joy & peace.

filled with joy & peace
a life for, i race
in the maze
only to realise that I am in chain

only to realise that I am in chain
as my anger adds the pain
I long for a life, sane
but never willing to drop the ‘I’

but never willing to drop the ‘I’
I end up in hell,
as the centre is just ‘my’
sans ‘thy’
I wait for Shanti, on me, it turns its back.

it’s time to turn back
to be considerate on others’ joy & peace
so in my life joy & peace rain
as i seek the kingdom of ‘thy’
and paradise, in my life, comes back.
