Hanuman I become original

Wrote this in 2009 ...

To thee O lofty hanuman,
I give a wakeup call
to thine incredible power,
I pray with all my all.

Today I need your courage,

To see that you are in me,

I need thine strength to live my legend,

My lord - understand me.

As ye gazed upon great Lanka,
I gaze upon my ask,
as thee grappled with tumult,
my tumult I unmask.

In this mirror of karma,

I see all that I lack,

I see forgotten powers,

Of Pavan bring them back.

This is indeed my purpose,

The journey I had dreamed,

Drunk with pride and idealism,

This is what I screamed.

My arrogance is gone my lord,

And my virtue is strong,

I want to live a life of dharma,

I want to sing the timeless song.

This is but another shore,
among the shores to come,
and as my doubt I relinquish,

Hanuman I become.

Hanuman brave, hanuman strong,

Hanuman the invincible one,

With every step and every breath,

Hanuman I become.
