Keeping poise in fortune,
Set my heart on entering the fray;
Making courage, control and persistence
My weapon to conquer the affray.
Never will I shrink from obstacles,
Even when they seem like profanity;
The divine light of aspiration endures,
Even the darkest kindle into luminosity.
When thorns filled my path,
Or the vast sea spread its gown,
Even the sun's relentless blaze
Seemed as if heaven had come down.
With The Himalayas as my guide,
I vowed never to retreat;
Making valor, might and endeavour
My weapon to conquer the freight.

He poured out His kind, precious love
Raining down from His home above
Blessed me with His wonderful light
Ended darkness, worry and fright
Gave me joy I'm unworthy of
He touched my soul with affection
Assured me of His protection
Reminded me He died for me
Even before I bent my knee
Delighting in His perfection
He breathed pure generosity
Erasing animosity
Securing my heart with His grace
I want to see him face-to-face
His is love's luminosity
save screen of awareness, all fades with time
innate aliveness, blissful and sublime
no sooner we choose, to make heart tranquil
boundless bliss within, by grace overspills
there then thus being nothing to be done
God alone is; our soul and He are one

Brilliant light, soft white, engulfs our presence
Innocent heart joyous with excitement
Luminescent soul with love in parlance
Vibrant heart dissolves in the bliss current
Prismatic hues of love, enliven form
Ecstatic in our native element
Magnetic bliss bubbles, swamp us in swarms
Automatic and swift is souls ascent
16-June-2021
Moment by moment, we amble along
Nonchalant to life, as it may unfold
As we breeze thus, singing our own love song
Wondrous unfoldments within we behold
Vaporised presence has nothing it seeks
Present in the continuum vibrant
Bliss rapturous osmotically seeps
To each nuance felt, we are sentient
Mindful eye cognises divine essence
Resident in each pore of our being
Childlike joy is our dance of innocence
Witnessing petal by petal blooming
Simply by being, here and now present
Each cell of our form becomes radiant
