The child in man as grows oldA child as grows enjoys rainbow of joys,
Many a marvel in a wondrous world,
Joys mingling with his toys get newer buoys,
A world of birds, butterflies gets unfurled.
Comes as his youth, what change are only toys,
Rewards of life innocent stay no more--
Boys chasing girls, and girls giggly at boys,
And soon...

Improvising ExistenceImprov is an unscripted comedy form.
Starting with an idea for a sketch,
actors interact with each other,
making up things as they go.
As one person responds to another,
“No, but…” squashes spontaneity,
while “Yes, and…” builds the banter,
propelling witty action forward.
Quick and clever dialogue
promises even more to come.
Then, after finding an apt ending,
a brand-new sketch can begin.
Our lives are...

Night out at the carnival
Hand in hand we walk ~
cotton candy and caramel apples,
music, rides and fanfare,
sounds of joy and laughter in the air.
Let the festivities commence:
flashing lights and chaos,
screams and giggles,
rides and arcade games.
The carnies are hyped up
with their wiles and guiles
to entice us in all ways.
Summer is not complete ‘til
we’ve had our fun at the carnival.
Reality and...

Zen modealong our spine we feel cool heat
mirroring the frontal lobes
essence of presence is upbeat
light of Self glistening in white robes
we are awake and yet in trance
in our form bliss mists patrol
nodes within in joy prance
we are still, God is in control...

BUOYANCYBUOYANCY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A boat drifts softly, hull like a feathered whisper, tracing sky and sea.
In its wake, a gentle sigh—clarity in the vast blue.
Buoyant, I drift free, the weight of time slips away.
Crystal waters gleam. My thoughts thoughts dart like fish in the deep.
The boat softly sways. Joy, a vessel on this sea, carries me onward.
I sail...

A Good Sense Of Humour Blunts The Sharp Blades Of RealityHow I hate it when they call me a clown,
Yet I can't help but make people laugh.
It comes unbidden, needing no invitation —
As though a trove of jokes is placed in my mouth.
Often I try to bridle my face and talk tough,
But when a flume of gloom drowns spirits deep down,
Then my sense of humour...

JoyIn the heart, there’s a joy,
How do I convey this feeling?
Have you ever seen dolphins leap,
Or the regal flight of eagles soaring high in the sky?
Joy is an experience,
Etched on the walls of the heart,
Sometimes it arrives as the beauty of a rose,
At...

Mid-Laughter and LightsThe lights blink like fireflies
as laughter echoes the summer air,
rides spun dizzying circles
as I sniffed the scent of popcorn everywhere.
Ticket stubs in sweaty palms,
fingers laced with sugar thrill.
Goldfish prize in plastic bag
and stuffed bears won with lucky skill.
Each booth--a doorway to memory,
in twilight and at the break of dawn.
The fun, joy, and the...

King of Kings
Remind me, Lord – that You have heard, whatever comes, whatever this life brings, I know the King who writes His light over the spirit… gently revealing, a love that never leaves, a hope that always brings assurance of the King of Kings.
Let His blessings flow,
A river to sooth my soul
Lifting my heart, ‘tis all...
