I lay me down and I feel my strength and energy gone;
I lift my head and eyes to you to help me to carry on.
All melodies are gone; can you make me listen again to a song?
I look up to you because I need to be strong.
I look up to you to get some attention;
I need your help, I need your intervention.
Thinking , tangling in solitude.I beg you to shine on me;
When storms have come and rain is pouring on me. Set me free!
You are the only one that knows what I go through;
I lift my head to you and my soul cries .Who else can I turn to?
Every road I’ve taken led me only to regrets;
I look to you to strengthen me and make me move on and forget.
I look up to you to remind you that I exist;
How can’t you help me? How can you be so hard on me and resist?
My soul wanders sadly, unending .Show me some kindness;
I lift my head up to you to let me still and talk to you in your silence.
Mesmerized by your power, still I’m afraid and retreating;
Awed by the beauty called forward , still I’m mesmerized not moving.
Longing for the touch, love, the gentleness of the caress that I can’t feel;
Listening to voice rhythmic and soothing ,yet afraid. I look at you, keep me near.
I look to you to pull me towards all what is offered and open my eyes to see;
I look to you to make me feel safe. Stop the storm tide and pouring rain on me.
I’m standing unable to separate from all that is known and what is untrue;
Standing unsure lost in my dreams and I still look up to you.

Namaste means “I honor the place in you in which the entire universe dwells . I honor the place in you in which is of love, of truth, of light and of peace .When you are in that place in you ,and I am in that place in me ,we are one .”
