Hasmita Shah, 2012

Pirouette around a ring of love peace and compassion

Circle it with lots of friendship and positive action

Clap in a vibrant stroke of laughter and happiness

Jiggle in a generous measure of warmth and gentleness

Sweep away carefully the insidious anger and hatred

In your beautiful recital this is definitely not needed

Radiate a picture of inner bliss and serene tranquillity

An image deep in meditation a portrait of divinity

Stomp out the heavy burden and tensions of the rat- race

Relax and take your dance of life at its rhythmic pace

Stamp out the greedy shadow of rampant materialism

Search instead for the ultimate truth and spiritualism

Step back contemplate and reflect on your life’s art

An exquisite dance radiating from within your heart

In every subsequent recital pay due care and attention

And always in your dance of life strive for perfection
