so shifting into staid silence tranquil
at our blissful core where God keeps no score
we dissolve in the void our egoic will
that divine grace may...

Long run

High jump

Grand prize

immediate and intimate to us,
the flavour of fragrance was lost to sight,
lost in symbols, which began to nonplus.

sorrows and bliss elations,
arise and in time subside,
as on earth we wingless glide.
Step by step, we join the dots

On the eve of his coronation
Disquiet or fears about
Letting down our nation?
Or perhaps calm and optimism
Joy, p...

joy that comes and goes
but soul,
in the boat God rows,
feels how rapture grows.
