Forever Young

Age: invented phenomenon
Completely void of meaning
Spirit experiences no ending
Only beginning, continuation
This is reason enough to be…
…Forever Young

forever and evermore

Wide awake in deep sleep
Vivid vision of life appear
Sorrow turning into joy

Echo of dissolved dreams
Waiting on wings of hope
Manifests on quiet screen

Never-out-of-season joy
Fighting in the mind ceases
Nirvana resumes its reality

Reunited

Cherished nights, treasured days
Relinquished tiresome thoughts
Eased escape from prison walls
Spent building and repairing

Fortress of life so resilient, so firm
Wild and free, yet gentle as a lamb
Sparks of craze ignited soul
Staging ambiance for lost hearts

Love never needed fancy words
Sincerity bestowed itself freely
Truth revealed its purest form
Set mind free to find spirit

Life long friends reunited at last
As if time stood still and waiting
How marvelous it is to be united
Soulful-mind together forever once again

After a While

Life circumstances linger on
Still need to enjoy everyday
Quiet mind and joyful play

A plant grows toward light
Never in a haste or hurry
Wastes no time in worry

Imitate life in such bliss
Effortless ease and style
Rest in peace and, smile

I Cry

When time seems too temperamental
When security blanket is uncomfortable

When I cross the bridge that I was afraid of
When spirit carries me throughout ordeals

When folks reach out and touch my soul
When someone lovingly hugs my heart

When I look within and see my true beauty
When my body aches and I when feel great

When I marvel at life’s uninterrupted bliss
When I honour my ability to create my reality

when life's rains merge and mingle with mine
When love is staring at me in profound silence

I cry!

Jolly Jiffy

Flurries and snow mingle in the air
Wonderment behold each breath

Mind travel to memories of spring
Heart lingers on in the frisky chill

A holy stillness wraps up the soul
Woolies and teas warm the body

Confidence

Courageously walk the path of resilience
Optimistic of being infinite potentiality
Nourish body-mind-soul-spirit with bliss
Fill with peace of mind and enthusiasm
Invigorate spirit essence of tranquility
Deepening and reinforcing self-love
Encourage everyday awareness of life
Neglecting none who walk this earth
Contentment that triumph over matter
Enjoying exuberance elixir existence

return of joy

Stumbled upon hounds of heaven
Absorbed by thoughts and voices
Inquisitive mind pondered on life

Cross-of-crux rolled off belief case
Self respect, poise and bliss revived
Immersed in the ocean of gratitude

Knew I had lost something precious
Journeying on my way back to reality
Not sure what- until the return of joy

More than a question

How are you today, my dear?
Empty and dull, was his reply
Relieved that someone cared

Instead her eyes wondered off
Looking for their next exhibit
Disquiet, he looked for a hole

Tried to contain frustration
Lips tightened, jaws locked
I felt the bulge in his throat

My eyes wandered up his face
His eyes fell abruptly in mine
Do I offer Kleenex, or a hug

Should I cry with him or smile
I smiled not knowing what to say
Like a ghost I just stood there

Took a few timid steps towards him
Big boy’s tears rolled down his cheeks
Unburdening his heart of anguish

Words were not even necessary
Language did not matter either
Just respect and acknowledgment

Soul Meets Spirit

Love is in the air

Its fire awaken

Souls sparkle

Passion unfurl

Two hearts greet

Two bodies meet

Two lives reunite

Aglow with bliss

Too close to separate

Yet free to be apart

Love comes alive

When soul meets spirit

Sensibility

Logic of awkwardness and timidity
Swabbed away spirit’s enchantment
Life and time on separate journeys

Reunited at the fork of the road
Determined to woo the reality
Life designed the predestined

Mutely nod in agreement of its fate
Time pleaded for a lighter sentence
Spirit’s sentiment ignite its consent

Contented with its new lease from life
Time humble acknowledged its limits
Vowing to enjoy journeying in harmony

Many Paths

Walk the road of resilience
Trod path of least resistance
Run the course of perseverance
Rest on the trail of inner endurance
Always alert of life’s many paths

Win-Win

Existence doesn’t wait
It gentle leads the way

Love doesn’t demand
It dwells in the heart

Time doesn’t return
It offers moments

Money doesn’t satisfy
It presents gratuity

Bliss doesn’t diminish
It constantly changes

Enjoying life is not easy

It appears so sometimes

transition of trauma

Emotional commotion
Punctuated by death of joy

Exposed to excess agitation
Worn out nerve sheath
Uptight and spooky

Episodes of panic prevail
Soul feels meaningless void
Overly guarded, paranoid

Dissolution of mental chaos
Prolonged absence of sorrow

Barriers began to walk away
Joy of being alive resurrected

Deciphering

Thorns of life jab
Heart is bleeding
Drops of grief and sorrow
Flow endlessly
Life seems callous

Symphony with time fades
Meaning loses its edging
Nothing makes sense
Emotional heaviness abides
Questions loom large

Why me, why now
How can life be so cruel
What am I here for
Where is my soul
When will agony end

Solace approaches
Soul’s rhythm resonate
Just as the world turns
Circumstances change
Unveiling life purpose

It seem silly to argue
Life lancing the heart
Steering plans off line
Optimism on brink
Mock test of faith

That happened last time
The time before that too
And the time before, before
Somehow I shall remember
Next time thorns of life jab

Polarity

Without confusion there is no clarity
Without dark clouds there is no silver lining

Without valley there is no peak
Without peak there is no valley

Without death there is no life
Without life there is no death

Without emotions there is no feelings
Without feelings there is no emotion

Without instinct there is no consciousness
Without choice there is no negotiation

Without negotiation there is no choice
Without metamorphis there is no transformation

Without transformation there is no metamorphis
Without revolution there is no evolution

Without evolution there is no revolution
Without passion there is no compassion

Without conflict there is no agreement
Without day there is no night

Without night there is no day
Without sun there is no moon

Without desire there is no purpose
Without determination there is no hope

Without creator there is no creation

Without life situations there is no accomplishment

Bliss

Kindness that summons humility
Gentle wind that blows on my face
Stillness that soothe solitude mood
Stops that signal to pause a while
Living in and enjoying the present
Simplicity of childlike confidence

Comfort and Joy

Heard drumbeat
I turn around
Our eyes meet
Spellbound

Bodies greet
Minds romance
Souls dance
Perfect treat

strangers like me

One thing is very sure

God loves no one more

The saint and the sinner

Invited to God’s dinner

Each created to play a part

Straight from God’s heart

In everyone is a reflection

A model of sanctification

I peek at a stranger like me

All I can allow myself to see

A glimpse into its immortality

Reflects to me God’s identity

The Flow

Monkeys swing from tree to tree
Human shift from mood to mood
Rivers meander to meet the sea

All is well and always very good

Both sides of the coin

Were it not for life’s challenges
Insanity would bury creativity

Were it not for life’s challenges
There would be no new discovery

Were it not for life’s challenges
Brain and brawn would be extinct

Were it not for life’s challenges
Happiness would lose its magic

Were it not for life’s challenges
Choice would need no alternative

Were it not for life’s challenges
Living would not be so exciting

Were it not for life’s challenges
Adventure would be very boring

Were it not for life’s challenges
The universe would be forlorn

Everyday Essentials

Everlasting experience of God’s goodness
Peacefulness that revives drooping spirits
Awesomeness that evokes wows and ahas
Comfort flowing from a reassuring word or touch
Ideas that empower and expand artistic faculty
Sense of humour that outshines embarrassment
Restored graciousness to heal troubled minds
Generous serving of love to relieve weary hearts
Buoyancy of confidence, impartiality and freedom
Adventures that rekindles trust and childlikeness
Money to finance goods and services for survival

Lost And Found

Neither of us was available
We both felt so unsuitable
But the day we opened our eyes
Ourselves we chose not to despise

So in each other’s arms we cry
We laugh, hug, dance and sigh
Our love is all we’ll have to give
In its returns we always believe

There’s no need to run or hide
Now we can walk side by side
Waved farewell to years of strife
Vowing to experience bliss of life

Naturalness

Every face I meet is you
Such subtle image of me
The mirror in your eyes
Reflected through smiles

I take a good look at me
Look intently back at you
Oh how you appreciate
Your reflection in my eyes

Comforting assurance
Mind becomes relieved
Heart’s tongue whispers
Not caring for verbosity

Touch of magnetic potency
Invisible, ubiquitous, alluring
Mind truss to genuineness
What a treasure to behold

Circumstances

I sensed that your mind was insane
Life was mangled and futile
I wanted to stay with you for a while
To comfort and help ease the pain

Somehow my mind also was insane
Life forced me to attend to my pain
I wanted to stay with you for a while
Life's fray got too tangled and futile

It was a tough decision to be sincere
Understanding of our journey is clear
Hindsight reflects true love and care
Offering help when we can, my dear

tearing and building

puncture the shield of doom and gloom
brush the heart with the soulful broom
tear down playground of stumbling block
no more hiding in the shadows of shock

there comes time when life finally make sense
lessons, awareness, inspiration, competence
shake off dissuasion and embrace pure light
no more dancing with zombies in the night

envision everything life has to offer for free
breathe in new expectation and opportunity
burst in song and bouts of contagious laughter
no more trading up now for eternal life after

Nature’s Masterpiece

Trees shed their clothes of leaves and streams gurgle freeze
Plummeting temperatures arrest earth’s vigorous activities
Proactive living continue subtly in the womb of creation
Sacred embryo in progress

Sunlight’s golden rays break through the clear blue sky
A touch of frost awakes the earth’s thirst for life
Birds serenade as the sprouts crack the thawed soil
Brilliant unfolding of life

Rich palette of bright colours fascinate the five senses
Fragrance mesmerizes and charms the sense of wonder
The wilderness trades spaces with simulated therapy
The triumph of hope

Life transform again with no ordeal of what could still be
Air is tranquil, crisp, still magnificent, and boldly colourful
Nature models its very own transformation of civilization
Time and time again

Innate Being

Incombustible
Inexhaustible
Unyielding strength
Impenetrable hardness
Indestructible fortress
Awakened poise

Why art thou so?

I am
Changeless
Ageless
Endless
Timeless
Formless
Boundless

I am-
-Spirit

Dei and Me

Didn’t always trust good intention
Rifts with God- conceal aggression
How does deity deal with rejection?
I did not care yet I wanted to know

Mind and body constantly inspected
Spirit’s void ignored and dejected
Heaven, hell- what’s the difference?
I did not know and I did not care

Spew trailer load of confession
Heart and mind woo Perfection
Would God renew their mission”?
I didn’t care; I didn’t want to know

Agnus Dei, I began to swear and pray
Qui tollis peccata mundim, o evay
Has thou really forsaken me?
I didn’t know and I did not care

Dona nobis pacem please, holy tension
God! I need some more comapssion
Looking with pity upon me- again?
It doesn’t matter; I just want to know

Help thou my unbelief, I screech
Touch me in places beyond reach
Don’t you know I long for you?

Surely I know you love me too!

A plea with life

Forgive me for running away
Often times I wish that I had stay
Thoughts of losing you, I dismay
Don’t wanna be away another day

Please, listen, and let me explain
Never meant to cause you pain
Thought it would have been best
This choice filled me with distress

The day I walked out the door
My love for you grow even more
I must confess that I miss you so
More than you would ever know

You said our love is meant to be
I walked away because I disagree
I thought that you were so wrong
I know now, with you, I belong

Please, give me one more chance
Together we will sing, and dance
I want to share life with only you
Oh, say that you actually want to

Footsteps

I hear one set of footsteps along my path
And dear God, I know that it is not mine
For if it were not yours leading the way
I’d be lost for I don’t know where to go

Each time the business of living drains me
And I feel like running away from the fray
I hear your footsteps and I feel safe again
And each time you carried me through it all

When I feel that you may have forgotten me
Your footsteps remind me that you are near
As I run to you and remain in your presence
I recall the many times that this had happened

So every time I feel frightened and all alone
I just listen for your footsteps along my path
For I know that you are not just guiding me
You are taking me where my soul finds rest
