A Matter of Truth


In  ponderings of wanderings
Of contemplations incomplete
In one’s life are found blunderings
All human concepts have conceit

Bound of the precept of the truth
In ponderings of wanderings
Serpent slithers, always aloof
Nary a proof of his spawning

Many  lives he is squandering  
His power is in his disguise 
In ponderings of wanderings
By pretentious love, his devise

Lifting the voices of trumpet
Of truth never the plundering
The love of truth is triumphant 
In ponderings of wanderings
=================
 In honor of Dr Ram 
And contest

The concepts in life are just not perfected yet Dane, as you know!.... I have been taught more understanding by the precept Himself in the last two years... that has brought my soul's human concept in line with the true precept which is life, than in the previous 30 years. There is a major two parts that will eventually come together, which is the mind concept and the heart precept, when they do one will understand more fully the mystery. Agape, Moses

In ponderings and wanderings of contemplations incomplete. It makes perfect sense to me, John, I do it all the time. I think Dr. Mehta will read the deep meaning in your words. You are a man of deep faith that is easy to read. Thank you for my placement in your Give Me Your Best Shot Contest. It meant the world to me.
