let the days of ease begin
by Raj Arumugam
let the days of ease begin
days of love and longing;
let there be grace in the heart
and the spark of life in one’s eyes
let us dance
in the elegant halls;
and let us walk leisurely in the shade
of willow and cherry-blossoms
let us seek
peace in the self
and offer this to who would want;
let us have minds as clear as water
that shows one’s form
lets us make love then
below the cypress that lines the lakes;
and when we sleep, let us dream
of nations and multitudes in peace
let us go, you and I,
let us walk these days given us;
let us walk this earth
revel in this energy in us;
let us walk hand in hand
as we live in
truth, justice and peace
let the days of ease begin
days of love and longing;
let there be grace in the heart
and the spark of life in one’s eyes
