Asceticism and realism were embraced in baptism.
The era of waiting is gone. Emmanuel exists.
The spirit in him fluttered into doves of optimism.
Mercies fell amidst musing humanity like mild mists.
The graces with which he descended from the highest heavens
Radiated like a thousand moons. People stood perplexed.
The sun rose from all directions, against solar sessions.
Philosophies and theologies have become complexed
Does a ruby, sapphire, or topaz need a fire test?
Does the one who's born without sin need baptismal cleansing?
Designs, yet devised by destiny, need to be re-dressed.
Doesn't all disciplinary decay need dispensing?
He's the one who comes to take away the sins of the world.
By his ransom, the freedom of creatures will be unfurled.

Isn't the thing that makes a thing a thing that thing's essence?
Concrete being within the being which is quintessence;
Atman, the nucleus, is the essence of human life,
That protects, like a shield, the human selves from every strife...!
Jesus Christ, the Lord, is the essence of the Christian way,
Mystical asceticism makes our minds in truth to sway;
Service to the beings becomes the essence of great saints,
Way to perfection leads to joy, though has many constraints...!
The sun and the moon shine with the brightness of their being,
A flower blooms and sheds its scent at everyone's seeing;
Each being in its consciousness lives and lets live others,
This is how the universe goes on though no one bothers...!!!
Can one a whole day spend saying 'sorry':
Can man fill with 'sorry' back of lorry?
Methinks it would make a sight gory
Craving 'longest sorry' for one's glory:
Someone quite like you hairy or furry
To with 'voiced sorry' your favor curry...
It was a full day of it to a boss
By a stretched woman fearing sad job loss;
She had, too, written an apology,
Which had permitted some tautology:
"I'm working singlehandedly alone;
No great help from calls with my handset phone".
Really, alone bearing a most cruel cross
Once, a rolling stone gathering no moss.
Then, work she left for Evangelism,
Lately struck by its rare magnetism;
Preacher's new message Asceticism:
Man should be snubbing all cynicism...
Her boss was shocked that her last name is Ross.
He'd met twelve Ross that tried nothing gross.
Closed shattered the walking desert!
Moving airy mind in the open sky
finds the wings
Everything is there
In this universe, a full of adolescent beauty
No, I really didn't bring anything
At the wharf of primordial unearthly female genitals
In the convergence of enjoyment
I am a beggar
No, I have nothing
Being an anchorite, I am rapturous
In the verse of longer song,
In the deific rhythm of ektara
love comes, love goes
to the unknown confused noise
The poetic mind is empty with the antenatal river
So, still sings in the guise of asceticism

It has been a while since I've seen a smile
asceticism to clear out bile
Now all the while I sit and wile,
the hours away cause I'm all about play.
lemonade maple and pepper
to rinse away the sins of my wasteful existence
Of eating **** and getting tan; of missing school and having senseless intercourse. .
I stopped calling friends I stopped eating food.
I only drink syrup, lemons and fire.
I start to meditate when the day starts I can't wait; but how long will it last with out bowel movements; am I really human?
I'm on day 5 and having nightmares after surprisingly mild hunger pains; I'm tearing open my chest for an alien to bed down with straw in my empty intestinal track.
I start to eat again too soon, call back up my *****y girlfriend, and quickly gain 20 pounds of fat.
Now I'm a realist no longer conscious; I threw out my resume, I gave up on cosmology.
I don't go outside, I envy the man who dies; I'll never try again.
The magical rainbow appears in the blue sky after the rains,
It is a vista of hope in the dark and pains.
The magical rainbow comprises of seven colours i.e. vibgyor.
Each is significant in its own manner.
Violet signifies royalty(bravery and loftiness).
Indigo underlines authenticity.
Blue highlights peace
Green the colour of vegetation and prosperity.
Yellow signifies brightness
Orange the colour of asceticism.
Red remarks bravery and temper.
Night follows the day,
making all cheerful and gay.
Darkness follows the light.
Encouraging all, to the evils fight.
Happiness follows the sorrows
Which none can lend or borrow.
Sometimes sun and sometimes rain
Buffeted all alone in the mighty ocean of
grievances and pain
When all the hopes dash the ground and arises
a feeling of low.
After the rains up above the sky shines the magical rainbow.
It is a lantern in the dark.
Its appearance is as sweet as the words of a lark.
Its colours are each of a different meaning
It is in disguise to us a blessing.
