Sutras
(Dedication: For the pilgrim wayfarer in each
human face; and for my family, with love.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joy speaks of peace when love funds flow;
Calm now floods ease in inner glow.
Faith knows the way that hope finds love;
Devotion stays with truth above.
Go to a place where stillness calls;
Leave time and space as silence falls.
Arise my heart, let mind be still;
Soul journey starts with zest that fills.
Take time to pray beyond word spell;
Do not delay this lovely dwell.
The passing clouds tell of a glimpse;
Veils hide from proud but faith shows scheme.
Sit and align both heart and mind;
Spirit now finds a healing kind.
There is a time for prayer rhymes;
Let the bells chime as stillness mimes.
Words beyond words now echo here;
Joy seldom heard in soul's deep cheer.
Time within time, the stillness waits;
Sutras now chime here at soul's gate.
A mantra tints the fragrant hall;
Vision now hints as bliss sweeps gall.
The auric chant of this soul dance
Now feeds a charm in a deep trance.
Sounds repeat strains in mystic psalm;
Soul feels most plain the magic calm.
Echoes from far nudge deep within;
On flight of stars the child unseen.
Prayer funds joy in ecstasy;
Here love employs clear harmony.
Deeper than deep this inner shore;
Beyond deep sleep a precious core.
I sit here now as sutras come;
A muse endows the words I sum.
No man can write beyond the whole;
Words cannot cite the peace of soul.
I fly to space beyond all time;
I glimpse a face that hurls my rhymes.
Not I, not I, but a dear whole;
I simply try that profound Soul.
Then, I awake to sure aware:
For sutras stake what mantras bare.
Oh pilgrim dear, the night now ends;
Grace comes to cheer with sure Godsend.
