Prayer For Cleansing - A Dead Soul Born (The Rain in Endless Fall)
walk through nature's dweeling
hide from obscure trees listening
winter brings gloom, brings remnants of
our shadows
twilight casts shadows on those who
espouse their fate
ice pricks necks like knives, leaving
shards of cadaverous skin
tears spout from my eyes, shunned from
mankind's den
gathering sunlight, gathering night's
frigid air
sharpen wood to impate myself, no
more will words torment
floating downward, sleep eternal
born from wombs of cruelty
leaves escape to be alone
rope suffocates short breaths
an angel screams to take me home
try to find solace in heavenly stars,
under skies above
submerge beneath the cold river's tongue
my soul died a martyr for pain
golden rays of soft yellow light
accentuate the harsh, stinging rain
snow starts to fall
my tears start to freeze
nature brings forth her cold winter's breeze
my heart has been shunned, i fail to care
nary are those whose dreams i do share
waking from eternal slumber
to find my wrists slit open
demons chase me behind the sun
dreaming from another's body
my life eradicated
my nightmares have just begun
Hindu Cremation for my father Mr Rajdeva Narayan Sinha (04:15)
logs of wood are then placed on the pyre atop the body. The son circumambulates the pyre three times
with the pot of water he has brought with him. He sprinkles water on the pyre as he goes around.
After going around the pyre thrice, he stands at the head of the body and drops the pot so that it
breaks. He then takes a lit log of wood, with which he lights the pyre on all four sides, while the
priest recites prayers to Agni. The mourners then leave the pyre and bathe in the nearest river ...
G-d bless your father and his soul! May G-d be with you and your family!

"O Death,
I come to you in humility
I bring you nothing:
no house, no money, no family...no ego.
I offer you only my body
which I sacrifice to you
on my funeral pyre.
Respect me O Death,
for I have made the ultimate sacrifice.
I give you my life."
