Sensationally senile sedentary solid senators
solemnly, sincere, seriously self-serving

Tanka 
It is amazing
How many things happen 
In a tiny village
When you have time to see
How busy quietness is

Illness of boredom 
A sedentary affliction
Lack of imagination...

Distilling attention
A journey
Of entity sedentary 
In meditation 

Stillness orientation 

Something remains
Unresolved
Undissolved
That form contains

Pleasure & pain

I've chosen this path 
to take by my own free will 
I'm in no hurry   

at this cross section 
the road less travelled is good   
I'm glad to be here    

in this cul-de-sac
of sedentary and still   
thinking, as an art...

No sooner we fix an agenda
A wheel is set into motion
Destiny testing our charisma
Ever centred in bliss elation 

Outcomes any we are always equal
Seeming ripples a mirage illusionary
In an acceptant view spherical 
Consciousness calm & sedentary...

Cyanide candy,
Think of how that will work,
It’s brilliant,
Brilliant plan,
Precious food of yours,
Heaven forbid
Hell accepts
You when you take a bite unknowingly
No wonder
No wonder
Gain occurs
When a sedentary life is lead
A life that’s lead
Which ought to be dead...

 She walks by, leaving a trace of scent 
 with her own volition and beauty 
 Gracing the soul with sedentary thoughts 
 of loveliness and charm 
 The rose is an emblem of God's love for us 
 she is always, on duty... ...

Sid a sedentary popcorn
Married a pretty unicorn
They went for walk one day
Sid was crushed on the way
Unicorn was left with a corn

No longer in the workforce
big changes to my ways,
not something I am use to
my life, a brand new phase.

Lots of time, but no money,
a tricky lifestyle maze
the months, they change, seem swiftly
in my sedentary haze.

Must look for a solution
perhaps some games to play
as hours pass, they're fleeting,
my pill caddy tracks the days!...

Entity within our auric field
Seeks love and light rather than the sword we choose to wield 

Judging not we outpour love divine
Cajoling the thought form with God to gently align 

Love as the only real vibration
Each lifetron complete on choosing resonation 

Yet the choice must be voluntary 
Thus love nudges gently in stillness sedentary

Sylvia stays sedentary still seeking superiority 
Sometimes summarizing situations so subtilely*, 
Suddenly somnambulistic, she slips silently
Sensing some sarcastic silliness, soon senility. 

*alternate, archaic spelling for “subtly.”

The clear light
Golden white
A candle flame
Luminosity aims
Upon the screen
Images thus seen
Thought borne
Desires adorn
Unfulfilled desire
Of heart all afire
Choicelessly choosing
Dreams sequences musing
Until the spiralling energy
Becomes calm & sedentary 
Laying it’s head to rest
Within the bliss nest
Wherefrom it arose
From its eternal repose

Back In Bed Could Crash

To Wylie for a while will start to talk
After that shall take him for short walk
While we looked somewhere into the sky
Both he and I saw a beautiful butterfly.

Some say whole, complete life is sedentary
Which to me at times sure seems so scary
After short walk for home made a mad dash
So back into bed again he could crash.

How about that one? Jim...

Point of reference of introspection,
marks flow of attention sedentary,
being about consciousness correction
in alignment with our divinity,
igniting bliss in continuity.
Ego mind body association
spawns narrow thoughts inducing contraction.
Thus resting lower mind, free and unbound,
we feel fullness of bliss in cessation,
heart in the heavens and feet on the ground.

Disheveled as the fingers of morning  
this sage in her sedentary stoic seat 
needs no purge to enter gloaming 

Ripped at the seams by eventide
with hair of finest wheat 
she lingers fearless as the tide  

Dormant dreams at sundown's door 
chalk faced white as sheet 
she drowns, in the ocean bellied floor 

taken by the shackles of her wrists 
on leaden feet 
she walks towards the ether, in Gist...

Fictitious families
Dysfunctional means
Compromised children
Capricious teens

Serrated self-loathing
Culling scarred skin
Dapper diagnoses
Dulling depression’s din

Psychotropic pulses
Sedentary screams 
Subjugated subjects
Catharsis of dreams

Dusk dawning
In convenience’s vanity
Vociferous voices
Pilfering sedated sanity

Slurred smiles
Lithium lies
Hanging from vestiges
Suicide survives...

Tantra paths many
Highest, the one sedentary 
Awareness without thought
Lower mind begot
Thought free restfulness 
Just tranquil awareness
As a witness to everything
Be it seemingly still or moving
We simply look
No thoughts brook
Pristine awareness 
One with Oneness 
In an unbroken continuum 
As the centreless fulcrum 

Empty, void, free & unbound
Cognition spherical, feet on ground

In increments, reflection's waif
some sedentary lifting of restraint
is sameness from a will of dullness' taint
and compromised by feeling, urging's faint.

While courage in resistance pools intent
to greatness in truth's beauty, not event.
And gearing for concern, comes slow but meant
as when discernment's Grail is God's extent.

With thee, this cup of life, man calls content
is empty ~ less thy nearness fills this vent!...

Dweller of the void

How should we react,
when love itself’s hacked?
Why’d we trauma bond,
with frog in a pond?

Love that was is gone,
so smile and move on,
for although we care,
it takes two to pair.

Our preferred journey
is sedentary,
free from narrow strife,
joy suffused, bliss rife.

Free from egoic muck,
we wish all good luck,
imbibing God’s grace,
at an easy pace.

Say no to corruption, 
May it be a transition! 
Stay eco-friendly, 
Make it intently! 

Vanquish poverty, 
Vindicate prosperity! 
Integrity in words, 
Hospitality in hearts! 

Cognizance of calibre, 
Counter to briber! 
Industrial development, 
Immense employment! 

Induce space mission, 
Inculcate transmission! 
Sedentary is mortality, 
Make farming a necessity! 

Snatch your rights, 
Use them wise! 
Oblige to carve new India, Our true India!...

I could not stick my head in glue
To feed and wait with barnacles,
Or seek security among
Aggregate anemones,
Or anchor to tomorrow with sedentary polyps,
Or browse with slugs,
Or cling to rocks,
Or maintain the perpetual
Defensiveness of urchins,
Or achieve “being realistic”
With camouflaged bottom dwellers,
Or remain isolated in a shell.

I float on my colors,
Moved by current desires.
Developing backbone
To swim effortlessly
In the ocean of possibility....

Naked is the truth, stored in memory
Old wine savoured for us to make merry
Slipping thus into trance sedentary 
Time to time we do, rekindle the flame
Although in the now, things are not the same
Lightly we flit through dreams; life but a game
Going back also offers deep learning
In the here and now, wisdom imbibing
Ambedo musing, a divine blessing

Dreams within dreams 
Each real when in trance
Thus waking too a dream
Owing to its impermanence 

Looking back at our life
Reviving memory imagery
Like a movie we may replay
Review in nonchalance sedentary 

Upon resting lower mind
As we cease to weigh & size
Transcending identity limitation 
In the sea of Oneness we vaporise

Elixirous bliss unchanging
Wherefrom we look around
Our fulcrum joyful & centreless
Heart in the void and feet on ground
