I
hope my poems touch someone...anyone...that is going
through pain...be it mental or physical...and is inspired
to keep the faith and believe that WaheGuru
divine comes to ease my sufferings and take care of
everything...that WaheGuru
will be there to lift them above their pain as they
hold on to the Guru's hand...he will lead them to a
land...so beautiful so serene...unimaginable for the
human span...a joy so intense unthinkable for a human
to understand, and lead their life according to this
quotation from Siri
Guru Granth Sahib..."jo nar dukh men dukh nahin
mane sukh saneh aue bhey nahin jake kuchan mati mane,"
and then there will be only "anand" and joy
beyond understanding as we...feel God's presence all
around, and feel that connection to him, take ground,
strenghtening our faith.
POEMS
OF LOVE
I
began to write poetry during some critical trials
and turbulence in my life, and I am in awe of the
miracles that WaheGuru has done in my life, so I express
my wonder in my poems, which are heartfelt and passionate.
In a recent 'Gurucharni lagna' of my niece, Nimrita
Kaur, I wanted to give something special to her and
I could not think of anything more precious than something
that came straight from my heart.
In
my poem, I gave Nimrita Kaur my blessings to "always
have WaheGuru in her life" as she embarks on her
path into the future.

A
HEAVENLY BLESSING
A DIVINE MIRACLE
A GURU, WITH NO HUMAN FORM
BUT AN OCEAN OF ‘NAAM’…
SIRI GURU
GRANTH SAHIB JI
NOT JUST A HOLY BOOK
BUT ‘THE GURU’ FOR ANYONE THAT CHOOSES
TO LEARN TO BE A ‘SIKH’
OF ANY CAST, COLOR OR CREED
A BANI FROM ‘AKAL PURAKH’ 
WITH THE OMNIPOTENT’S SPIRIT
AND STRENGTH
‘DHUR KI BANI’ … AS BEAUTIFULLY SPOKEN
BY OUR BENEVOLENT
GURU’S…
BLENDED WITH THE MAGNIFICENCE
OF THE BANI OF THE ‘BHAGATS’
MAKES US COME TO A REALIZATION SO TRUE
GURBANI IS THE HEAVENLY LIGHT
THE BEAUTIFUL INSIGHT
AS IT PREPARES A PATH
FOR US TO FOLLOW
IN THE AFTERMATH
AND A PATH
TO FOLLOW IN THIS
EARTHLY FORMAT…
AS WE REALIZE THIS WORLD IS BUT
A BUBBLE
THAT WILL BURST ON THE RUBBLE
AND THEN, THE RIVER OF LIFE
IS NO MORE
NO MORE, IS THERE ANY STRIFE
AS WE HEAD TO GOD
TO ANSWER TO THE LORD
FOR DECEITS, LIES AND ALL…
SIRI GURU
GRANTH SAHIB JI
A LIGHT HOUSE
IN THE STORMY SEAS
OF THIS EARTHLY FIRE HOUSE…
A HEAVENLY SHIP
THAT WILL TAKE US
ABOVE
AND BEYOND THE TURMOIL AND THE BONDS
OF THE EARTHLY PRONGS
THE ANSWER TO OUR EVERY QUESTION
THE DIRECTION TO OUR EVERY MOTION
THE FORGIVER OF OUR EVERY SIN
A CONNECTION…
THAT TAKES US ON TO A JOURNEY
THAT LEADS TO RESURRECTION…
AS WE READ THE PEARLS OF THE ‘GURMUKHI’
THE BEAUTIFUL WORDS
FORM A STRING SO STRONG
UNABLE TO BREAK, SUSTAINING ALONG
AS WE HOLD ON TO IT
FOR A BEAUTIFUL LIFE
FOR NOW…
AND IN THE HEAVENS BEYOND…
WE ARE IN AWE OF THE MIRACLES OF GURBANI
FOR THE GURU IS IN OUR HEARTS
AS WE READ THE SCRIPTURE OF GURBANI
AS IT LEADS US ON TO A DEEP UNDERSTANDING
FOR OUR REASON TO LIVE…
AS GURBANI STATES “EHO TERA AVSAR EHO TERI BAAR”
AND WE TRANSCEND INTO A STATE OF ‘SEHEJ’
WHERE THERE IS NO NEED
NO WANT
BUT A FEELING BEYOND
UNDERSTANDING...
TO JUST WANT
TO SING
THE PRAISES OF WAHEGURU…
EARTHS MAY COME AND EARTHS MAY GO
MOUNTAINS WILL TURN INTO RUBBLE
THEN TURN INTO PEAKS WITH SNOW…
BUT GURU
GRANTH SAHIB JI WILL FOREVER BESTOW
BLESSINGS UPON US
AND CARVE A PATH FOR US
BEFORE THEN, FOR NOW, AND FOREVER MORE! --
