Just as all our limbs are integrated,
though each organ has a different role,
know everything is interrelated,
each one inseparable from the whole,
which we too are, as the light we extol.
Meditating thus, that we are the all,
from cave of our heart, bursts forth a bliss squall.
The sun is our eye and heaven our head,
breath is the breeze and blood crystallised light,
wherein once we are by throb of love led,
radiance of our aura pristine white,
engulfs the universe with bliss delight.
Meditating thus, our form is transformed
and bastions of heaven, peacefully stormed.
Text without context
Are words without soul
Man without nature
Won’t exist in this world
Life without relationships
Are shoes without soles
We’re all interrelated
By the soil of the earth
Spirit of forest
The air that we breathe
Clean flowing water
Every living thing needs
Flowers exude aromas
Smiles must have face
It’s the unseen intentions
Our spiritual grace
Economics is complicated,
Incomprehensible.
Though a few specialize in it,
a million depend on it.
Country by country
being control on its own.
interrelated and interconnected;
united in that sense.
Over the years
without knowing,
all of us, contribute in it
aiming for its growth
that will benefit the many;
and develop and improve
for our better living.
ONCE UPON A LIFETIME
I came unaware; a heartbeat
comfortable in place
forced onto existence
on a starry night
before the light began.
time opened up
and reality flew by
on a memory tapestry
Interwoven signed and
sealed as a solitary life
from the beginning
to the end, all was
destined to be remembered
by thoughts alone
creations of vanity
shared in a connected
cosmic consciousness
we can only guess at.

SYNOPSIS
From birth to death
Life is a creation of unknown origin
intertwined and interrelated
with all earthly things.
existing in the end,
only in memory
Aggravation waited.
Health always debated.
Material things created.
Mental capacity unstated.
History always elated.
Final breath is fated.
Future is overrated.
Partners never sated.
Love cannot be slated.
Compassion will be desecrated.
Desire falsely translated.
Life is overly stated.
From the day we are created.
While we are all interrelated,
We continually face each other abated
Awaiting our dignity to be dictated,
We fail each other blindly sedated.
If we are lucky we go through life conjugated.
