Theme: Destiny
Emotion: Joy
Color: Sapphire
Season: Midwinter
Form: Free Verse
Object: Crown
Verb: Carry
midwinter holds a sapphire clarity,
a brightness rising where the cold thins,
as if destiny were forming itself
in the quiet geometry of light.
you carry a small crown of joy~
not gold, not ceremonial~
just a precise glint of future
resting in your hands
A kind being stands out.
We recognize the warm intent.
Friendship always a matter of the heart.
Souls connecting at the root.

we teeter on the balance
of the scales of life
our soul saccades between polarity
right from wrong
left from right
observing an examination
of nature versus divinity
the weight of intention burdens the act
absence of regret is the conception of arrogance
obsession with opportunity is request for heedlessness
Concealing a dagger's not legit
even if not intending to use it

Signs are everywhere, they are like clues that help us to see clear.
Signs are messages, like when your stomach growls, it gives us the sign that we need to eat and make us feel full to continue on.
Signs come from many ways, they are like the darkness before the storm giving us time to take shelter and stay clear.
Signs are sometimes not there, we have to listen to our intuition, we have to follow our own thoughts, that make sense and lead us to a safe spot.
Signs are sometimes bad, we look at them and feel confused, and think wow, that is not true.
Signs can be good and bad, they can be placed to make you lose your way.
So, look and think, long and hard, do not rush to follow a sign, think to yourself if its good, and take care of yourself.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.

enhancing intention may cause awareness of a new dimension
It was never my intention,
not a conscious decision,
to cause you any level of grief.
Our give and take wasn’t as envisioned.
Blindly, I let you fall between my gaps.
It’s not right or wrong, but fact that
I got lost in a thronged rhythm
recovering from things life had given.
You have always shone a warm light
selflessly bright into my life.
Stern storms drowned my content,
turned me until forlorn bent.
I pursued a healing renewal but
my drenched attempts were futile -
I didn’t mean to hurl you into my duel.
Please accept my sincere apology
for giving less than you handed me.
I’d never set out to hurt another
but denying friendship gratitude
colors me pallid shades of rude.
Intentions

## My Court, Everyone's Refuge
Choose any path of **prayer, supplication, wishes, or calls**, all reach beneath me.
You **don't pay attention to time**,
Here, **my gatherings also take place**.
Just **don't bring any gifts for me**,
**Don't be sad about what gift**,
If **your intentions are true**, then
**I am also the true giver of blessings**.
With love all
**OM Jagdish Bajantri "Mhabharamnad"**

Coming back to recapture and constitute whys,
To understand our train of thought, the path we seek with our eyes,
The external influence that suggests and surrounds,
Take it all away and what have you found,
Lay your heart bare and what do you see,
Under all the layers of your reasoning,
What you grip onto so tightly in order to let go,
Take it all away for a moment and reevaluate your soul,
What pain pushed you and prodded you to run into your ways,
What traumas made you run away from your pain,
Take away your fix it mentality because control is not in your hands,
Lay it down at the alter and give it away again,
Give and love freely without control and confined,
Stop trying to conform yourself to free your own eyes,
Love the freedom to love...love the freedom to give,
Stop putting rules on your freedom to live,
If love breaks you open
And you have a chance to look inside
You might be surprised at what you find
If love smashes your expectation
And you have a chance to make your defense
You might be greeted with a surprising strength
If love disturbs your every intention
And you have a chance to meet your fear
You might be astonished at the things that become clear
If love crashes into your wall of security
And you have a chance to construct better walls
You might be captured by a decision not to rebuild at all
If love explodes into a million pieces
And you have a chance to walk away
You might be dazed by the unreachable splinter lodged in your heart to stay
Sitting in a body with intention,
Lifting my heart to listen.
Focusing my attention,
Searching for the lesson,
Through astral projection.
Thoughts travel best when,
Sitting silent with intention,
Allowing the mind to open.
Know you've been chosen,
Your name being spoken,
Across the ocean.
The Book Of Life open,
The plan set in motion,
Through actions and devotion.
A magic potion I'm holding,
Creation I'm molding,
Reality unfolding.
Information downloading,
Flowing with precision,
The right to decision.
Choose to accept your mission,
Step into your vision,
Listen to your intuition.
Evolution through intention,
Open hearts feel the lesson,
Opening to a new direction.
Nature give waterfalls
for human purposes.
People vote leaders
for government populace.
I chose you as my wife
for marriage sacredness.
A focused wave of Cosmic Intention,
An explosive expansion of Love Divine,
Sought me out among the atoms of creation,
A spark of God, seeking Itself through the Matrix,
Until I appeared upon the stage.
It’s absurd that I should be in this dimension.
How am I created in this place,
Inserted in earthly trepidations,
Until I return to Divine Love and Grace?
In the stillness of one trembling moment
I am aware I AM connected to all,
All time, all beings, all dimensions.
As I AM here, I am everywhere.
I can’t escape the edict of God’s Divine Law.
The Creator, being Perfect, can only give of Itself,
Nourishing and fueling each flame It sits in motion,
Asking only that we dance in unison
With Divine Love, Grace and Devotion.
