Heart of a Flower

Wind flirts in a subtle hush
Its presence hinted no rush
Trees dance in contentment
Earth throbs with excitement
How I like to open up wide
Let the sun penetrate inside
Unspeakable bliss of purity
Perfumes transient eternity
No resistance; surely no pain
Love does not bloom in vain

Joie De Vivre

I watch young souls of many lifetimes stroll along
Reveling in nature accompanied by deep thoughts
Cyclists alerted the weary searching for rationality

Birds sing, stream gurgle and voices share stories
Trees and plush green grass supply welcome stop
Exchange of hugs and smiles brush off the tears

Wilderness offers benefits of sojourning venture
Healing vacation and frolicking in a forested city
Always more than what I planned as solo retreat

Spectacular Display

Amid the chaos of the city
There’s a beautiful garden
Full of colour and splendour
That uplifts the soul’s bliss

There’s a beautiful garden
With sweet fragrant flowers
That uplifts the soul’s bliss
While soaking in the sun

With sweet fragrant flowers
Begging me to stay around
While soaking in the sun
And absorbing tranquility

I lingered alone in a garden
Full of colour and splendour
As life got more meaningful
Amid the chaos of the city

Season of promise

Soon-to-blossom branches
Wave in merry gracefulness
Bare arms of skin and ‘bone’
Prepare to yield abundance

Redeemed wonder of life
Assure growth and rebirth
Serenity of inner sanctum
Salvage harmony with earth

Freedom

Freedom

Psyche stalks soul like a ghost
What should have and cannot
Plays hide and seek with what is

Punctuated by death of joy
Episodes of panic prolong
Soul feels meaningless void

Overly guarded, paranoid
Mind is in a state of frenzy
Wondering what life is up to

Life whispers its intention
Feelings regain integrity
Thoughts speak with stillness

Tired from its own brutality
Alas! Mind fell sound asleep
Joy of being alive resurrect

A day full of Light

real time living
resurrects dead dreams
fray of living depart
slow down has new meaning
heart stops it hurry gallop

the race with time halted
whatever God began
universe continues
according to life
all is possible

death is not the enemy
truth is not perishable
stranger like me
friend like thee
God knows all

i rest from suffering
i let fray take flight
bliss of tranquility
healing of mindbodyspirit
forever ready

holy reverence
eternity now
inner peace
magnanimity
equanimity

happy fitness
new life
freedom
bliss
trusting self

Joy fills the air

Joy fills the air on New Year’s Day
Folks meet to celebrate and pray
Voices rattling in delight
On this frigid wintry night

Tempting food on the party tray
And the display on the buffet
Busted diet plans right away
With each irresistible bite
Joy fills the air

Another year welcomed to stay
With its moments of work and play
And attempts to start a diet
Long past putting the skates away
Joy fills the air
