Now Dragging Dull Days
Bleak, Bitter ! Now dragging dull days.
Too long Past and too short Future
At present, in senile decay.
Does not matter, rue or rapture.
No dynamism., life stagnant,

transcendencethough we’re caged in this body-mind
within our heart always springs hope
as we shift into pathways kind
opting to with love to elope
our heart tells us we’re always free
though we’re caged in this body-mind
yet once with God’s laws we agree
we escape lust’s demonic bind
imagined fears are left behind
when to the truth impulse we bend
though we’re caged in...

Fear Will Breed Hate"Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the hater." -George Washington Carver
"Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they can not communicate; they can not communicate...

The Heart Of NightThe heart of Night pierced by first light,
Dawn gives birth to a brand new day.
And wildflowers instinctively;
begin opening their petals.
Shadows scurry back into cracks,
the heart of Night pierced by first light.
And color steps from the shadows,
as the moon completes its cycle.
A spectacular sun rises
once more, to push back the darkness.
The heart of Night pierced by...

an unheard melodythe orphaned child gazed at the moon
consoled not by love from afar
he sat alone, holding a spoon
stark solitude was his soul’s scar
the lamp in the sky has its moods
the orphaned child gazed the moon
when it is pitch dark, his heart broods
callous too seems, the sun at noon
“if God’s real, grant me love’s boon
that tender touch...

play of illusionsall that is, is a play of light
crystallised as myriad forms
known by sages who have clear sight
bravely weathering life’s fierce storms
if we’re enabled, we can see
all that is, is a play of light
the sky is veiled by our mind tree
fear makes day too seem like the night
soul has fallen from heaven’s height
this manifest...

The Words of My Mouth
Difficult to speak right at right moment
Words of mouth thrown once can't be taken back.
I try to be polite on each comment.

ECHOES OF THE SILENT SHORE
Oh, echoes of the silent shore...
Reverberate serene delight
As soul is joyous all the more
To bask toward God’s caring flight.
I’m gripped midst streams of blessing flow
Oh, echoes of the silent shore...
Caress my heart, smiting pain’s woe
Whispering God’s love to the core.
Enabled indeed for faith soar
Grateful soul persists to prevail
Oh, echoes of the...

As boundaries blurEach morn at dawn, we are reborn,
then tendencies come into play,
attachments which are not yet sawn,
within feeble form made of clay.
With ego cravings left behind,
each morn at dawn, we are reborn,
in warmth of heart, loving and kind,
regardless of how life rolls on.
Soul’s the canvas we write upon,
as the radiance of the sun;
each morn at dawn,...

As the Aster Blossoms Fade to GrayAs the aster blossoms fade to gray
A thousand-strong fleet trespass upon a bay
Their leader sought to be the Lord of hosts
To wage this war he spared no cost
Then winter knell takes autumn's breath away
As the aster blossoms fade to gray
The grain has gone, the fight must cease
But sacred honour stands in the way of peace
Factions...

Mind of the HeartLine of inquiry:
“feeling not thinking, soul with love linking ~
we attained God consciousness unblinking” - Unseeking Seeker
The heart has a mind of its own.
The brain may think another way
till spirit moves you to a zone
that shines in a more brilliant way.
Embrace those things that bring a glow.
The heart has a mind of its own.
When you...

Deja vudéjà vu; we’ve seen this before
logic says it cannot be so
have we walked through a time warp door
we can rest not, until we know
perhaps we’re perched on time’s hilltop
déjà vu; we’ve seen this before
reality shifts, doubts don’t stop
truth of what is, we can’t ignore
yielding, we give silence the floor
whence we see that life is a...
