Ode To My Great Guru

Ode to My Great Guru On a silent,spotless teak deck in Lake Tahoe, a guru stood in silence. Immaculately dressed in navy pressed slacks and navy shirt. The daylight highlighted his gray hair with a melody of sparkling mirth. Looking out upon the waters as the golden sun on Tahoe was joyfully rising, The American Robins greeted him with their cheerful morning chucklings. His wrists, gently on the teak railing rested. A huge acorn sat, as his only tall,silent companion with assorted rocks that sunrise. Tall, scented Pine trees were all about him filled with Western bluebirds, who seemed to greet him, "Hello"! His steadfast, inner peace with this world, always so magnificently, fully,and joyfully apparent! And I, knowing him so very well. Ah, too sweet, it made my humble chest swell! His love for people and his commitment to this great planet? Eternal and wonderfully,apparent and yet forever growing! For each and every human being upon it. Unlimited, in it's profound humility. So blessed am I to know him. So very dedicated to all of humaniity.      November 14, 2019

Arturo, I get your point and do not disagree with you. His influence on our family has led to greatness for each one of us. And then taking what we learned out into the world sand doing our best to make ot better. A significant other is marvelous, indeed

Not a sailor,you silly! It's not someone I love, like a beau. Beaus do not work on making the world work for everyone. Beaus are not known by millions, hold Worldwide conferences nor own corporations, hold scientific conferences. I left his name out with full intention. I wanted concentration the Poem which you and Charmaine both liked. I thank you. Panagiota
