Without hesitation, choosing to yield,
that flickers in the void do not arise,
love blocking onset of angst, is a shield,
breeze that blows away clouds veiling sunrise,
becomes the favoured path of sages wise.
Effervescence of love seeks no applause,
being but a mist obeying God’s laws.

Faith in God’s words and proverbial grace
I’m surrounded by love since birth, I’m blest
Midst life’s struggle, ups and downs and stress
Hopes in my heart, a daily glow on my face.
Since God’s gift of life has ephemeral length
I’ve to spend it with joy as I share my best
His dwelling spirit in me rejoices more, I care
To spread my innate vibrancy in wisdom’s strength.

I can’t see the sun, but I know of it’s beauty,
a radiant presence, constant and true.
An Invisible warmth that gently touches my skin.
Much like the way I feel your presence around me.
I don’t feel its searing heat, yet it warms my face,
Its light reaching me even when it’s hidden from view.
A reminder of the subtle ways love can manifest,
in the quiet moments when I think of you.

Eighty-six billion neurons reside in your brain, every single thread entwined.
But they are not connected like the links grappled together in shackled chains.
Between any two neurons lies a place where whispers are shared, and secrets are bared.
And the name given to this space bet ween, where two remain two, but be as one:
The synapse. That space where the slow wind blows through which flows the willow’s woes.
That stage between words on a page, unwritten thought connecting writer to reader.
That break in syllables, echo of silence, unspoken sound binding heart to heart.
That flicker in time between two choices, unseen destiny wedding dream to dreamer.
That pause where inhale meets exhale, unfelt breath linking life to death.
That silent spark born in the dark, liminal light joining day to night.
Between this step and the next, unclothe the parts of your whole:
Where is it, O tapestry of threads, you find the synapses of your Soul?

She boards with a push, the wind moss and rose.
She doesn’t slow down and she doesn't explain.
She keeps moving on because regret is her name.
She is never alone, her bags packed tight, weighed down and heavy.
They all come aboard carrying her name, the ticket for one and one in the same, with all the stories of those whom she brang.
The world is flashing with the past in her eyes but you will not see the hurt inside.
Earth and ash, sun and moon.
The passengers they travel, together they stand.
A glance, his face is familiar, he closes his eyes.
Her scent, only a memory.
The view is flashing with the past in his eyes.
They all come aboard carrying his name, the ticket for one and one in the same, with all the stories of those whom he brang.

Oh, those times when it was just you and I.
Forever in your arms I’d want to stay.
I gazed into your eyes – in blue of sky
I felt immersed as all cares slipped away.
There was no past or future; we were one,
and one together, we were breathing bliss
as warm and comforting as springtime’s sun,
which on each rose’s petals leaves a kiss.
There was no time, and only peace we knew.
It stretched before us. Utterly aware
were we , that love - unspoken - is love true.
Accepting one another, souls laid bare,
I lost myself in you and you in me.
Unblinking bliss– we were so wholly free.

In the dune-field of the deserted scorched life,
clutching my desiccated desires I chase mundane mirage,
walk listless on the tormenting trail of strife.
Suffering to the core, I’m submerged in sordid mire.
Under the multi-layered receptive mind,
the soul resides at the inner meditative depth,
where awareness is the light of the eternal truth,
enduringly reflecting the sensitivity of the divine glow.
Trying to be released from the clasp of karmic destiny,
I transcend the expanding limits of heart-head linkage.
From the closet of mortal being I strive to set my soul free,
the patina of perpetual peace I yearn to flourish.
In the devout sanctum of heavenly freedom
my soul aims to attain the timeless euphoria of nirvana.
The beauty of the ultimate oneness it beholds,
vibrating with the rhythm of supreme elegance.
The darkness of the pasture of suffering gets illumined
with aura of the absolute, having thousand sun’s shine.
I find the lotus bloom beguilingly bright in the soul,
discover the enlivened constellation of innate bliss,

The scene was set, the date was on
Preparations planned, what could go wrong?
As time elapsed, the time to meet
The nervous energy felt so sweet
The ticking clock ebbed and flowed
The journey there was fraught and slowed
Anticipation of thoughts entwined
Could this be a meeting of mind?
Controlling heartbeats, the exchange begins
Random chatter inquisiting
To test the thoughts of one another
And gauge the life to be together
The evening ends in sweet abandon
The journey home, time for reflection
And so begins the enticing prologue
The key to a fragile heart can unlock

heartbeat and breath
branches rustle in winds
in stillness of the morning
a touch of sadness
talk of rain
I want to look
beyond a veil of clouds
and see the sun
yet I feel
the pull of
the passing moon
the world turns
the world around me lives
the world around me dies
I feel that, too
it’s almost November
another year passing
it always does
I want to fly
a V formation of geese
circles the sky
soon to follow their callings
and fly south for the winter
in every beginning an ending
in every ending
a time to start again

Within me is a deep innate ingrained and instinctive vibrance and passion.
Betwixt and amidst the throbbing of my heartbeat is a ticking pulsation,
that is life, that is vitality and sparkle. I hold the enduring perception of
awareness and appreciation. Yet, I have moments of doubt but with inborn
faith I can conquer any battle, forge any mountain, swim any ocean.
I float in a dream
of heavenly bliss and joy . . .
with unblinking faith
Animating and invigorating is life and instinstive is the force I need to define
my inflexible drive and defined path. I may be detoured at times but I am
able to find the spirit residing within that leads me on this euphoric journey,
called life and through time.
each day a journey
among my heartbeats pulsing . . .

When we find our morale at rock bottom,
It appears the earth has come to a standstill!
Finding ourselves amidst darkness all around,
We are in a dungeon with no escape, we feel!
Unmindful of our innate abilities, at times we forget
To bounce back, like a ball hit against a wall!
Seeds sprout piercing the upper layers of the earth,
Sensing the touch of raindrops from clouds so dark!
A word of consolation is enough for a soul
That has fallen down, to rise up like a spring!
Things that appear dormant in nature for the time being,
Can erupt like volcanoes unwarranted any time,
Animating their innate vibrance to everyone's surprise!

ANIMATING INNATE VIBRANCE
Beating, pulsing and trembling, the life force within us
Needing nothing more to make its presence firmly felt
It celebrates, to have been given this one opportunity
To be, to survive and thrive, amid gloom and despair
As freedom demands much in compliance with nature
Animated, it can with strength, traverse so many years
Almost defiant with its innate drive and single purpose
To create and procreate, but also trying to understand
Its source, whether unique or common in the universe
And when that question is solved, to revel in its role

Didn't Albert Einstein
say that space is also time?
that matter is also energy,
just another synergy,
and the universe is ours
in the space between two stars?
Does everything repeat
in the space between two beats?
and do my heartbeats frame
all spacetime by any name?
Can open minds and open eyes,
and open hearts see peace arise?
If I miss you 'tween two beats,
will I see you when it repeats?

Between the pulse of our heartbeat simply present
head- heart linking
dwelling in time with stretched blissful peace
awareness became unblinking.
Between heaven and earth the ethereal pulse of God's creation
sifting through the soul like a fluttering kite in motion
Here we are in a dwelling place of quarrel and demolition
only peace can assuage the heart and give it, its contrition
In the middle of war stretched across landscape of your heart
"The Lord's prayer," in a lilting whisper, you got this to an art
Give us today our daily bread and help us to do our part,
it is only love agape that gives our soul a fresh new start
Connecting spaces of our head-heart connection a mantelpiece
decorated with meditative awareness and unblinking utter peace
"Lead Us Not Into Temptation" let me decrease as you increase
seed and bloom inside my heart and help me fold this crease
Side by side two strong bookends holding together what rends
with a soulful melodic vibration I arrive at every bend
"May Thy Kingdom Come" and live within me til the very end
side by side, ... like two old reliable and sturdy bookends.
