15. Song of Spirituality
There is light in my heart
Subhash Sharma
Creation from Shunya, 1993. p. 33)
There is light in my heart, It is there from the start,
It mystery you want to know, it says hello hello,
It gives me a peep into things that are deep,
It has a beautiful glow, It says hello hello,
This light is subtle, it makes a whistle,
In the stars and the snow, It says hello hello,
It moves through the chakras, It goes for the yatra,
It has its on halo, It says hello hello,
It shows silver lines, bending space and time,
In nature’s beauty show, It says hell hello …
