gong is struck once twice thrice
river ripples response
sunrise fading slowly
crown opens in petals
face lifts to sprinkling light

Rings loud and clear
Midnight hour
Panic in the streets
Humanity running
Fear on the faces
Prophency spoke
Earth below took it as a joke
End of civilization
All because the world didn’t pay attention
The Moon is now blood red
The world wants to be forgiven instead
Stars falling from the skies in wrath
Disobedient detail
The Earth on fail
Earth that will pay
There is no getaway
Laws of Heaven
Earth below, your fate
You run but it’s too late
This is the date
Revelation led
Gong has sounded
Destruction and Death that will come
Lives torn
Everlasting fate
Soul’s loss
Heaven called Earth for a response
Earth refused to acknowledge
Blood on everyone’s hands
Names and images abruptly erased
Sorrow having no pity
Humanity deleted
Reality check being wrath
Earth’s days cut off
The hour came and descended being proven
“In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God”
~ John 1.1
Pure intent from the mind of God released,
pervades vast space with the vibration ‘Om’,
reverberations with which He is pleased,
since all that that’s manifest, is His home.
In each atom of space, God may be spied,
by eye of the Self in cave of the heart,
seeing all’s unified, though multiplied,
entwined with the cosmic gong, He did start.
As both subject and object in the dream,
as also awareness in which all’s held,
prismatic refraction colours does stream,
which in timeless time, in God’s heart must meld.
As the beginning, middle and the end,
all vibrations, gong of Om does append.
heart winked at love
the peace dove cooed
above, within
when on table went bust
Horn Haiku I had to adjust
tell tale and into head thrust
God forbid what I did
was to act like a little kid
who had flipped his (her or their) lid.
when we had an urge
after there will be a surge
are required to purge
(did play a dirge)
(have to see a surge ((surgeon))
(erupt when we encourage)
(would disappear when we did discourage)
(prefer pizza with my porridge)
(when the bells would ringy
I did become dingy)
on side watched boat list
when my point you must have missed
would become an anarchist (anti-Christ)
would be weak and weary
God could made weather dreary
tune we should carry
(which would seem very scary)
(which may vary)
(when we quoted a query)
while God is great and pure
made us safe, sane and secure
life we can endure
(what we knew for sure)
(life can be a cure)
(destroyed by der Fehrer)
(we would take a tour)
(cooked meat on a skewer)
(saw on an auto Gravier)
God’s light is real
as is bliss appeal.
Let us return home
to cosmic gong Om.
Betwixt objects sized,
we are hypnotised.
Foxed by illusion,
we’re in delusion.
Gong Om does remind,
we’re not body-mind.
Let then each heartbeat,
focus on God’s feet.
Here on earth but yet
let us not forget,
we are living light,
that shines within bright.
Within our heart dome,
resounds God’s gong Om,
that when desires stir,
we yet do not err.
Awake or asleep,
we feel bliss mists seep,
deep within our core,
as blessings in-pour.
One with the Om gong,
we amble along
joyful at all times,
heeding God’s love chimes.

Gong of Om, within us resounds
It’s the cosmic current
Bliss throbs within us gently pound
Rhythm thus concurrent
Nectar vectors mapping
Bliss spirals form wrapping
Sound of one hand clapping
We are home
Gong of Om

Quietus
The gong of Om
Our gasp does not last,
for what’s past is past,
so best we don’t rue,
the vanishing dew.
We exhale a gale
on which others sail,
who we so ensoul,
thus blissful and whole.
Silence has a hum
of a divine drum,
as the pulse of life,
fills us with joy rife.
Dance’s enigmatic,
so why be static,
choosing to outpour
love through every pore.

cherry blossoms
in the temple
a gong sounds
I'm going with the chi inside of me. I'm humming to the sound of the gong. I'm saying good bye to anxiety and emotions that don't belong..Let the tributaries flow and set me free. They've been there all along. I'm listening to my blood as it speaks to me, it's writing a brand new song.
Boeing, Going, Gong

737's high on marijuana ~ So Long
He lights a stick of musk incense
to trounce the air that reeks of gloom.
The Queen`s side pose on fifty pence
deflects a brazen bullet of doom.
From bulling boots, a startling sheen
reflects his face and then his bride,
no tank is like the limousine with
blacked out windows--hitch a ride?
He seeks the light, like manic moths
before he signs the reaper`s scroll.
Though trenches hide all khaki cloth,
all bullets burrow like the mole.
He sees the spectre`s dusky grin
a bugle now plays `The Last Stand`.
Stars are nails in twilight`s coffin
hammered in place by warfare`s hand.
Like Quasimodo striking bells
this hunchback soldier triumphs through.
A fife is blown to drown out shells
though nothing's there. His mind. Askew.

PART 2
So we bring ‘Kaya’ now,
is this love?
Get up stand up,
could you be loved.
Liberation in Zimbabwe,
we are yet to see this.
This bad card,
can easily yield war.
Because these ‘crazy baldheads’,
are still running amok.
So we best plot our exodus,
assured by the three little birds.
Iron lion zion,
one drop one drop.
The deputy ran for dear life,
when you shot the sheri .
Hence tonight we`ll be burning
and looting,
in search of a redemption song.
And so ‘Tu Gong’ ,
stir it up.
No woman no cry,
no longer waiting in vain.
It is indeed a natural mystic,
forever loving Jah.

PART 1
Jammin jammin jammin,
jam on rightful king.
In the lounges of Zion,
with your childhood ally.
Peter Tosh together rocking steady.
Rock on as it were in Trench town.
Robert Nesta Marley,
the stone that the builder refused.
Reggae`s undisputed cornerstone,
you adviced judge not.
That we check out,
the real situation.
And that one love,
should emit positive vibration.
Africa unite,
smile Jamaica.
Who the cap will t,
time will tell.
We shall pay no mind,
to top ranking.
We shall be,
easy ‘skanking’.
So much trouble in the world,
but atleast the sun is shining.
