sadly
we’ve lost
every last notion
of the rhythms of life
atrophied links with nature
reduced to lost blind and deaf puppets
they’ve gone and ruptured
cut our umbilical cord
dying to heal
here and
now

G-lobal mission to share the truth
L-ets you hold the light;
E-arly twentieth February,
N-ew dawn denies the
N-ight.
M-ission to spread the gospel,
U-sing the word perfect;
J-ust let the Monday break,
A-iming to
R-econnect.
Forgetting the abstractions of our brains
And the scientific way in which our mind is trained
A thinking beyond the thoughts of materialism
A joyful try to connect to realism
Of the higher worlds of invisible existence
Emitting energies of unconditional love and acceptance
A deep mysterious darkness
In the realm of the world beyond
Brimming with light of hope and compassion
Waiting for our immortal part to recover its connection
To the truest deepest spiritual self in the core of glorious shine
To a universe entirely ruled by the love of divine.
Once upon a time,
We wanted the same world Caro,
But now you found another world,
This quick and early,
I tell you what, I’m sorry,
I’m sorry, I didn't get to hold your hands before your last breathe,
I know you won't read this sonnet, but this is my eulogy for you.
You stole my star and I’m broken inside ‘Cause you’re gone,
You have disappeared but will always re-appear in my memoirs,
Your history won't be wiped for as long I animate & generations to come,
Your death has really hurt me! Too much sorrow! Torrential tears!
I know, I will see you right there in heaven, Amen!
The fear is only God and I recollect you for being a religious lady, Amen!
I will forever love you Caroline.
But this gap in my heart you have left is so big like I'm to move mountains,
However, your street signs and symbols still stand in my head.
C-Love, we will miss you, Oh me... Oh dear… Oooooooooooh…….Oh God... Oh My.. Amen
Till we reconnect again Caroline.

Offshore caller sounded familiar
A magical voice ringing in her ears
Was it pure imagination or real?
Struck an instant chord a jingle so dear
A warmth lit her being amid growing cheer
Silly giggles and treasured secrets shared
Which lay buried deep within all these years
Hearts were soon bared abandoning all fears
Time too seemed to stand still to lend its ears
Thousand bells chimed within effulgent souls
Forty long years just got swallowed up whole...

I was glad to see them, the people I mean
I have become averse to the social scene
These days. The morals are sort of different
I am tired of defending my old argument.
It is not fun talking to people who drone and
Complain as if life was not hard before they
Came. More money, more money is all they can
Understand, and women who think you prey
If you smile, when I smile too at fresh flowers,
And joy when the bush break out in bird songs.
I have reclused myself while the standard lowers
I have exiled myself from superfluous throngs.
This evening was not so, we were like minded
Since thougths are shaped by the era of time
The indiviidual faults long ago left us so blinded
We found each company with each most sublime.
