busy state
fullest living
rolling stone gathers god particles
watching humans
watching flag of nations
preparing how to arrive than considering political correctness,political incorrectness
busy state
fullest living
rolling stone gathers god particles
watching planet earth
counter normal adults,aggressive adults,dangerous adults
preparing how to actulise self-actulisation than considering like votes collection
busy state
fullest living
rolling stone gathers god particles
watching unknown
watching rebirth urges when last comes
preparing how to leave world than considering country risk,political risk
busy state
fullest living
rolling stone gathers god particles
All the morals and ethics in the world
As principles and values unfurled,
Mean nothing without appropriation
Into heart and soul with approbation.
We must absorb truth into our being
So inner light we are always seeing
As our guide into the next dimension,
Believing in eternity as a life extension,
Our truth must become as real inside
As real, right now, all in eternity reside.

Absorbing radiations and burping flare
Oh! pardon me for my shine
Luminous light of the mighty father,
The creation of heaven
and the fall of man,
Given powers, the hand i couldn't reach,
The hidden strings of the puppet master!
Elemental force,
strongest at my atoms than protons
Casting light building spectrums,
Perceiving the world;
the colour wheel,
Absorbing energy from the wild winds
And reflecting radiations,
A body as a temple;
A mind of a seer
And my visions are prophecies,
Decorated my temple with the finest garments;
jewels and marbles,
Ye be marveled at the sight of prosperity.
Wide Eyes Absorbing That Magical Scene
Upon night's clear sky, moon glowing its best
Soft breeze, swirling gently in silent tune
That gleaming star shining high in the West
Companion for Heaven's striking big moon
Wide eyes absorbing true magical scene
With its proof we are souls wanting to fly
Earthen ground reflecting brightest moon-sheen
Tears born of pure joy, not a sad, sad cry
As dawn comes to wipe, to gift us new views
We may feel pains of sorrow losing this
Should we not celebrate having the two
For surely either lost, we'd dearly miss
Should mankind ponder why such great, bright gifts
Tis Heaven's view to earth, that so uplifts

Sonnet-10
Note-
This sonnet was written this morn, as I watched dawn approach this happy family home, hidden away in these magnificent hills!
Earth, Sky and Heaven sent moon's gleaming views away to birth early dawn's great gifts to mankind!
You don’t consume a second meal
Before the first’s digested.
Your senses need some time to sort
The tastes you’ve just invested.
The same holds true for things you see
Or places where you travel.
Experience requires time
To stick, or might unravel.
When news is gotten, good or bad,
It takes a little while
To seep inside and be absorbed
In your specific style.
You cannot rush the process;
It may sometimes be quite slow,
But bombarding of the body
Or the mind’s not how to go.
ABSORBING NATURE
Jet stream shoots
Between two mountains cliffs
A breeze of honeysuckles I smell
Shooting stream
Jet between two mountains
Cliffs of honeysuckles to enrich
Mountains cliffs
A stream jets a breeze felt
Honeysuckles smelt and landscape blooms
Waterfall
Mountain parts water pours
A course emerge a spring to love

Sweet sound of nothing
A rarity for certain
Frees chaotic mind.

I saw you today
On this day I feel new
No longer blue, or sad
or any of those emotions
I sometimes have
There was some forgiveness,
in your voice
Those words
danced on the lobes of my ears
I was quiet too the moment
absorbing
Then the tears
You said,
I believe you
