First Things First
First things first...
Hold on to all things with yr left hand. The possibilities for alternatives.
Hear all the white keys on the piano. The purest tones.
Have a drop of lemonade. The most intriguing sensation for yr tongue
Feel a kiss from yr parents. The greatest love of...

First Things First
First I liked your voice
I really liked it though it isn't often on
Then I liked your smile from over the table
Soft and real and centered on me only

And I thought it cannot end like this so

Then I liked your hand 
giving me tight space for...

First
things first,
we
align
head and heart
with love,
that
presence
be blissful,
in resonance
with God’s pulse
throbbing
thus
in the
vibrant void
within
our
body
now.

First things first, as we age, bliss bubbles burst
With flow of life flirt, free of desires erst
Essence of presence, vibrant innocence

On our heart hangs a warning: joy alert

Ego urge reversed, no fears to avert
To divine love and...

first things first, we quieten heart
melding our mind therein
all souls be one, none stand apart
as bliss throbs on our skin

all we do, is be still
shaped upon the anvil
surrendered to Gods will

quenching thirst
first things first

First things first, feel bliss bubbles burst
It’s a love burn benign
Embrace life fully, unrehearsed 
With love and light, align

In staid meditation 
One with all creation
Imbibe God’s vibration 

End soul’s thirst
First things first

Inner conflict ends and we stand erect
This path seems simple but it’s a learnt art
First things first, let us meld head with our heart
With childlike trust and joy, add love to cart
Life becomes blissful, serene and...
