Spiritual Heart
Head illumined and heart aglow
Presence observes world around flow
There is no doing to be done
For we’re in the boat, God does row

Here we are, in linear time
Propelled by our tranquil heart’s chime
We feel complete, with bliss replete
Entwined with the divine sublime
Each form’s God-presence that we greet
Spiritual heart’s steady beat
Makes us in but not of this world
Our head surrendered at God’s feet
Immune to barbs, upon us hurled
As a bliss mist, we’re with God curled
Heart vibrant in the joy current
Higher wisdom in time’s unfurled

Freedom, equality and brotherhood
In the french revolution had happen should
But led simply to build a guillotine.
Not even Robespierre his head save could.
Newborn people of world has a bloodline
Which marks her/him to be ugly or fine
No equality or brotherhood are acting now
No real freedom or Justice can destine.
It’s time to change and reach a splendid glow
The hateful racism outlaw to throw
We are all equal, free and fraternal too
It’s time for mankind a spiritual grow.

Shiva and Shakti, both are one
Light of the spiritual sun
Sprouting from Hirayangarbha
When our lower mind comes undone
Pure of heart are free from dukha
Distanced from earthy brouhaha
Spiritual heart, all aglow
Awakens consciousness Buddha
All enabled in stillness slow
When love fragrance, we do follow
Trusting God, ceasing to resist
Nonchalant eye, soft and mellow
Love alone real, is truth gist
An open heart and unclenched fist
Shining in self-luminescence
Known when we become a bliss mist

For so long you’ve been hiding from me in seclusion
Wise Muse, I must gasp as I make an intrusion
I know your plan was to lead me to such splendor
Now I inhale a spiritual transfusion
While struggling in a world of carnal illusion
I needed to accept grace for absolution
Stone mountains, yellow flowers and a cool, clear lake
Have led me to ponder thoughts of adoration
There are times when the world’s harshness cuts like a knife
We lose too many moments focusing on strife
Above those azure skies, our Savior smiles down
And leads us to an Eden of eternal life
Inspiration now flows through my pen thanks to You
In this serene outpost, my spirits will renew
Natural beauty is one of Your greatest gifts
The dawn of a blessed new age may now ensue

Knowing not the way, we yet pray
Seeking boons from God, every day
Goalposts shift, fickle our desire
Why not then make love our mainstay
Our ego once burnt in the pyre
Resolve’s steady to climb higher
Overcoming bondage to mind
Save God, there’s nothing we aspire
Sans desire, our past’s left behind
Head melds with heart in pathways kind
We’re poised thus, detached and vibrant
Memory too, we don’t rewind
Pure of heart with loving intent
Soul imbibes the divine current
Manifest as bliss explosion
Renewing moment by moment
By cessation of volition
Gain into heaven admission
All enabled, here now, within
When we grant love beats permission
We feel complete, heart free from sin
Blissful rapture tingles our skin
Boundaries blur, nodes within whir
Heart beckons, so we dwell therein

WAITING FOR THE NIRVANA
Physical world runs on the mandate of physics
Controls the levers of life’s complex dynamics,
Every action has equal and opposite reaction.
Don’t follow the axiom, you become your relics.
Spread love if you don’t want to be hated,
See beauty in everything God has created,
Empathy will flow unlimited from your heart,
Your karma will give you inner bliss unabated.
On the pages of Geeta preached thus Lord Krishna:
Act unattached on the dictate of ordained karma
You’ll face life unruffled equally in joy and sorrow,
For you’re only an actor in the creator’s drama.
Captive soul unliberated, you come again and again,
Tolerate in repeated lives the agony and the pain.
Glow your karmic existence in the spiritual light,
You won’t wait long for the eternal nirvana to attain.

"In the misty corridors of the soul"
Sublime glow glitters from heavenly pole
Radiating jubilant hope-filled light
To exude warmth for blest reaching-out role.
With triumphant heart of sharing delight
Revived soul now readies toward faith flight
Exalting God for His abundant grace
Smiting gloom in response to earnest plight.
Midst spiritual zest propped by valiant brace
Grateful soul continues to run life’s race
Persistent in conquering grievous pain
Strengthened with ministerial divine rays.
Victoriously treading steward’s terrain
Vibrant soul* spreads love along cheerful gain
Praising the Lord for life, wondrously whole
Since He is the Almighty Who does reign.
*Luke 1:46 ... My soul doth magnify the Lord.

The doubter's eye yelled, "show me, god."
Go for stroll in quiet cloud laud.
Look where he might track down calmness.
Who can see black bug fold their nod?
Who sees our veins in the darkness.
And wowed the bloodstream in process,
And views embryo's feed in the womb,
Though hears and sees what is voiceless,
Love is clearly starting to bloom.
And knows what he claims in the gloom,
On the vast seas, warm ships of chance,
Wind, blowing past your flower's tomb.
Rising one's rate of mindfulness.
Looking backward to your justness.
We've been imbued with a pulse feast.
Bringing the soul's grace to brightness
Bliss, wholeness In a calm exist.
Keep god's still voice in the spirit.
Grace strike when our ego is shorn.
Praise, the soul's promise, mends the beast.

“Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.” Psalms 72:18 of the King James Bible
Wondrous prayer moments are God’s great gift
propelling my heart for triumphant lift
with welcoming peace of divine leisure…
toward task-fulfillment midst time so swift
Finding wondrous joy in simple pleasure
like my child’s mirth that money can’t measure
prospers me with wellness and health-delight…
bringing sweet cheers marked by caring treasure.
Staying jubilant is my wondrous plight
trusting the Lord against gloominess’ blight
conquering selfishness and rudeness-clout…
such is daily goal for spiritual might.
Worshipping with wondrous gratitude shout
my vibrant faith in Christ overcomes doubt
even when guilt attacks to create rift…
still I worship, vanquishing haughty pout.

Reading to me is so fascinating
With learning gains, surely liberating
Meeting mind’s search for wonders, never quenched
Enriching heart through counsel, delighting.
Complex process of thinking fortitude
Reading brings me nigh to God’s quietude
As I encamp in His Scriptures, musing
Bracing up my spiritual gratitude.
Mystery to my finite perspective
Though science makes it simply instructive
Reading midst its awesome complexities
Illumines me by its truth’s directive.
Comprehending still remains mysterious
For my seeking intellect, still curious
Since its blessedness I cannot fathom
In Bible study for faith victorious.
*Nehemiah 8:8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.

Propelling the will to strive soaring high
Midst inspiring words for celestial fly
Poetry springing from the depth of heart
Enlivens hope against worthlessness’ sigh.
Exposing realities of word-paint
Verily presenting truth without taint
Bringing enlightenment glow to the mind
Advocacy poems stir up with “Don’t faint.”
Creating vivid scenes for soul-delight
Indeed exuding bliss of love so bright
Uplifting poems hoist kindness to reach out
With friendship-warmth kindling fellowship light.
Midst liberty bursting out bounty-gain
Proclaiming serenely, “The Lord does reign”
Divinely exalting poems prop worship*
Beautifying life against woe and pain.
Along free verse or rhyme’s melodic flow
Driving toward spiritual go and grow
Gratitude poems expose faith in action
Praising God to radiate prayer glow.
*Psalm 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.”

Tribute to Sam Kauffman
Jubilant!!! Indeed reigning with serenity
her earnest words exalt the Supreme Almighty
“Breathe of God” “Giving Godly Grace” surely proclaims
“Lord of the Morning” --- “Resurrection” verity.
Triumphant!!! Such expresses her hope so gracious
midst “Agape” showing “Joy of the Lord” --- precious
from “Eternal Emmanuel” “Our Bountiful God”
oh, “Amazing Grace Inspired” healing the anxious.
Radiant!!! Her poems shine along great Saviour’s glow
affirmed by “Redeeming Faith in God” of trust-flow
with her reliance to HIS “Eternal Embrace”
as “Prayer Warrior Blessings” she knows will follow.
Vibrant!!! That marks her sweet relationship with Christ
echoing “I Thank my God” since she’s well sufficed
filled by “Treasures of my Soul” she does testify
in her “Psalm* of Joy” lyrics, wholeheartedly priced.
Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Embracing the Sky
Ice crystals float in the sky mix and mingle with the luminous cloud
envelope illusions dance with enshrouded mystery glowing and proud
Celestial spheres know no limit as the gigantic prisms condense and reflect
light the seven-coloured path for human megalomania to be disavowed
There are angles and degrees heights certain times when fire-rainbows flow
just like in our lives colours enlighten perspectives from which beauty can grow
Fluffy cyruss condensation navigates with ice halos around horizontal arcs
presents us what matters to contemplate a seeming ascent on vertical plateau
The full spectrum of tinges and tones resembles the chakras’ body soul mind
our vital energy in the search for spiritual completeness the Universe has designed
From feeling grounded in red wave length to being fully connected in indigo crown
the miracle before and above us contains a simple straight message for humankind
Awareness of awesome spectacles out of reach from devious attempts of control
guides us to pause halt appraise and engage in what the planet considers our role
To cherish nature and beauty compassion spread kindness earths’ spirit and love
and to be content with ice halos and fire clouds to make peace our ultimate goal

Summer is a God-blessed season of delight
Offering avenues toward life-building’s height
For body, heart, soul* and faith’s wellness-uplifting
Midst spiritual retreats during revival plight!
Summer provides time for nature-trip exposure
Of rejuvenating treks devoid of pressure
While climbing upward, reaching hill’s peak with triumph
Thanking the Lord that His creation gives leisure!
Great vacation-adventures reign in Summer days
With opportunities of joyous bonding ways
For families, fellowships and friendships’ reunions
Bringing loved ones together in gratefulness’ praise!
Let’s maximize gracious Summer privileges
Spending them well along wondrous advantages
With invigorating basking-in-the-sun bliss
And exhilaration-filled swimming laps’ plunges!
We indeed thank the Lord for His Summer blessings
Of physical fitness with sweet sleep’s amusings
Around strengthening social ties within love-cord
Upon volunteer-work of service appraisings!
Great experiences of Summer magnificence
Are grand memories with splendid iridescence
Imparting lessons for victorious endeavors
As led by God toward next season’s influence!
*1Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
