Sutra 5 from The Holy Science
“The Omniscient Love aspect of Parambrahma is Kutastha Chaitanya. The individual Self, being Its manifestation, is one with It.”
~ extract from ‘The Holy Science’
Immersed in this density, soul’s light veiled,
to be love enabled is our life’s goal,
so once elixir of bliss is inhaled,
we reclaim brilliance wayward ego stole,
fulfilling here in earth, our ordained role.

What Matters
When they ask: the answer is, I want to be cremated
Smoke the man from yesterday that occasionally crumbles into tomorrow
Let the wind carry the residue of inspiration until it ashes back to God
Then spread my ashes in any of the places unchecked on my bucket list
Don’t keep any of my un-swept broom dust

A Honeylike Horizon In The Air
This is a new golden horizon
This is a heavenlike season
Where everything is beautiful
And a serpentine rainbow looks wonderful
In the sky, in the heaven, in the air
Look! Countless birds are diving in the atmosphere.
This is a brand new season
This is a honeylike horizon
I wonder if this is a new spring
A new style to speak and to

Effervescence
Effervescence
There’s a cartoon I once adored,
Its colours danced, my young heart soared.
The screen would sing, the voices ring.
And joy was such a simple thing.
But years slipped past, the hues grew dim,
The songs grew faint, like an old hymn.
I packed it away with my forgotten toys,
Forgetting the spark of those innocent joys.
And then one day—it caught

All Of The Little Things Our Little Brains Choose To Remember For A Short Little While
Isn’t it odd?
All of the little things
that remain in our
little brains?
One day, you’ll
be walking down the
street, just minding your
own business, when suddenly
you’ll stop.
A sight,
A sound,
A scent,
A memory,
Something you have
never seen, heard, smelt,
or even experienced before
will catch your incomplete attention
so completely.
And send you to
the most magical of
places.
Something from your
childhood,
Something from the
small town you drove through
last autumn.
Something

The Alchemist's Lament
I spake: "Thy love's grief dwelleth in my core,
A breast brim-full with sorrows, evermore.
So long as in my head thy tumult lies,
Vain phantasies I bear, by nights, by sighs.
An hundred years have flown, yet not thy grace;
Save grief of parting, naught is my embrace.
In vigil lone, my heart with blood was stained,
By rival's tyranny, in

Hot Air Balloon Rides
Excitement built up,
riding the hot air balloon
with my two daughters.
Turned to fear for falling fast,
bounced on the ground, and then dragged.
The frightening ride
happened in New Mexico
sixteen years ago,
did not dampen my spirit
for riding another one.
Felt no excitement
nervous from the prior ride,
calmly went for it.
Magic moment in the sky,
view of sunrise and balloons.

From Ashes, I Arose Anew
Your love flew wingless with the summer wind,
And left me stranded, hopeless, in a pit.
Alone I became too much for my mind,
With my love jailed by your self-written writ.
I was consumed by the flame of your rage,
Yet from the ashes, I arose anew.
I found a heart whose kindness could assuage,
And clean even a faintest thought

One Year of You, Melissa
One Year of You, Melissa
One year ago, the stars began,
And heaven said, "She is mine."
A small spark, a breath so new,
The world was brighter all for you.
Your giggles flower like morning sun,
Your eyes, two stars that brightly shine.
Each step you take, each sound you make,

Jump for Joy
Jump for joy, not my knees,
but in the Spirit with ease.
Jump for joy, Hallelujah!
View King of glory with awe.
Jump for joy all my days.
Floodgates of heavenly praise.
Though the flesh is weak,
in quiet & quickened hymns I speak.
Jump for joy, my shadow all,
then with faithful love I fall.
I bend, I bow - His glory seek.
A little

Sweeter Than All the Roses
SweeterThan All the Roses
Wishing that I could roll back the years,
And stop my hot, burning tears!
Though no prayers, can turn back the clock,
As you slept in my arms, with only one sock.
No more seeing you in Wal-Mart, silly -dance!
Only in

The feelings we feel
Happiness is like waking up to see
my favourite dishes for breakfast;
toasted bread and fried eggs.
Getting to school early and scoring As on all my tests.
Then I come home after a long stressful day at school.
Taking a bath and settling down to watch my favourite TV show;
just to see... it has been taken
