Wish List of the Soul

Health, wealth, success, grandeur, and happiness,
Name, fame, status body-mind homeliness;
Family, friends, love, and self-fulfillment,
Thoughts, words, and actions purity movement...  

Within the heart of the ninth clouds floating,
Through mysterious Milky-way boating;
I want to have in each realm my own say,
This has been my trance-mad daydreaming way...

My soul leads me through divine love and joy,
Betwixt fact and fancies I often coy;  
Elegant hills, vales, and landscapes I see,
A drop of mighty seas I want to be...

Pains seep in like water into cracked walls,
The deep within depths toward fullness calls; 
Self and ego like snake and mongoose clash,
Holiness, yet, like lava waves does splash...

"Self and ego like snake and mongoose clash, Holiness, yet, like lava waves does splash..." The concluding two lines are like icing on a cake. The clash between the warring selves is beautifully depicted through the image of snake and mongoose. Congratulations on your great win....dear friend.
