Best Softened Poems

As you move,
Be humble in your development.
Leaving a softened Wake
So for those with you,
May experience the Joy of Peace.

Not an easy task,
Considering how the world
Is so easily provoked ;
Into violence
Into hatred
Into division...

The provocateur is hard at work,
Trying to sabatoge the work of the Soul
And the...

Sitting quietly, breathing in and out
Centred presence feels blissful and complete
Bliss strobes within let out a silent shout
Our vaporised self’s awash at God's feet

Time ticks away but we are oblivious
Grazed by bliss mists, we feel its benign burn
Ignition within is continuous
This play is enacted in...

...You make the soil soft
with showers, blessing
sprouting vegetation. (Ps 65:10)


What can cool my tongue
in drought but dew,
     my flesh but rain?
     
I've longed for a fruitful heart,
a rock softened by misty spray
	from the fountain.

In my dryness,
I looked...

Softened attention

Why would we dispose
fragrance of a rose,
uplifting spirit,
judging not merit?

Yet it is clinging,
to echoes singing
meanings we infuse,
as of our heart's muse.

Memory recall
stifles the bliss squall,
since we interfere
with love sparks that spear.

Though with feet on ground,
as free soul unbound,
each pulse we cognise
sans the urge to...

Softened attention releases tension
Taking us to another dimension
Not too far away, for it lies within
Peace beyond measure, free from thought flow din
Where bliss and wisdom mark soul's intension

At this juncture, it's worthwhile to mention 
Silence holds secrets for soul's ascension
Make oh hermit, fickle heart free...

Age hasn’t softened me
Weakened me a bit, perhaps
I speak of a truth I’ve earned
Cherish the right to speak it
Often to the trees and stars
Sometimes cursing those in cars

I ponder often the mystery of
Whose truth is truer
Can all truth’s be true
Or must one concede
Tap-0ut in accepted...

Their house was harsh with colors and shapes.
But then a bunny was left, her name was Ms. Lapes.
The house began to soften and turned into pastel hues.
A new loveliness presided all over the place, eliminating all blues....

Slotted rocks allotted in a stacked wall of stone
Greeted me gray as smoke, carved statue honed
Halted my walk among sun snuck tall trunk home
Flatly reminded my psyche I'd arrived here alone 

For beyond its forbode, forest sprouts unknown
Told to me only in rubbed limbs creaked...

Curiosity killed the cat, they say
but if we do not ask, we will not know.
Do we not, to the music, gently sway?
Let then our searching, be in stillness slow,
as open heart, scent of love does follow!
Awaken, oh hermit! Watch attention,
guiding it’s flow, in soft meditation,
wary...

The bright blue light
you sent that night
told me you're alright
Peace to you, wherever you are.

The clouds making way
on that particular day
told me you're okay
Peace to you, wherever you are.

I knew you would die
's why i wanted to try
and kiss you goodbye,
I love you now fly
Peace...

Our pristine doerless intent to connect
self with Self in the void of emptiness,
animates attention to so detect
subtle bliss currents, in vibrant stillness,
melding presence in the sea of oneness.
As we draw in the divine elixir,
our in-form nodes dance in joyful caper,
flowing blissfully without resistance;
soft and easy...

O' Holy Father come close to me
In awe let your consuming fire
Rejuvenate me
Spark and fire, your desire
You will you way, your purpose in me
~
Come purest spirit embrace me
Let my, mine burdens escape me
Saturate encapsulate come and guide me
Surround me with your guidance FATHER renew me

A HARDEN HEART NOW SET APART SOFTENED-

All I had was a heart of stone;
My Father came along and molded it
Made it soft, softer than clay
Remade me whole, a better way

All I had was a cold, cold heart
Jesus came along and warmed it up
Now I am...

I walked through a fire
It scorched and it licked
But my heart remains soft now
All the charcoal bits flicked

What remains is just sadness
At the thought of all loss
Though the flames served a purpose
Burned away all the dross

My hand held another
She got lost in the heat
Want to...
