Man

Busy in feeding yourself
You forget your transcience here,
Too soon have lost sight
What you came with to earth
And what you will carry from here.

You came in all alone and all alone
You shall to your destination repair.
Collecting stones you build a house
And call it your home, aware
This perishable dust mansion

Is the evidence of the eternal.

Birth Right Happiness

What boots to chase what flees
Alike to my fugitive years,
Often mistaken for me
That have still shorter date
And melt sooner than my dirt cloak,
Save dwell in thoughts fair and fair in heart
That are my last call at night
And first wish as i awake.
.Living by their standard
Is my measure of happiness-
A goal i strive towards,
More often than attain.

Choice

Life bifurcates itself
Into Moses and Pharaoh
As objects of desire
To awaken Man's capacity
For choice.There's a hidden power
Within him
And when life repeatedly turns him

From one state of feelings to another
To reveal
The Truth through opposites
It grows stronger in insight,
Sinks not in sin, alive survives,
Illusion-the bandit that assaults
Human hearts.

Water

Owns all, possesses nothing,
Service bent, never spent
Ancestor of all living things,
Steams upward heat held glorified,
As stretching body of the sky
To draw down from heaven grace-

Shower made falls fast and thin
On oldest survivor, Earth-
All ears, listen through the ear
Of each dropp eternal music
Whose separate consciousness
Dances the rhythm of the waves.

Tree's Myth

Knows it not joy or sorrow
Lives it only for silent service;
Casts out its self,
Retrenching its lavishness
To let go what's transcient,
To keep itself for another,

Dies with the seed in new life-
An opening soul out to nature,
What took the whole of creation
To come alive- the mystery known,
I should know what God and Man is-
Alas..infinity always between us.

A Dear Childhood

Nostalgia that arrests the moments
Before they flee
Nudges its way into my consciousness
Walking me back to my first look of grace -
The dwelling place of my origins
Where voiceless my spirit

Near but unattainable
Still wanders wondering-
Speechless behold before we part.....
Oh thought form.
A tie Time cannot dissever. Only
What i've lost is what i possess for ever.

Body's Diary

Earth made for earthly world
Turns earth into man
Notwithstanding love is soul bred.
Sleep struck, plays dead,
Warm to touch but what's warmer
Awaken by the dream of the real

Unlinks to relink to link few can think-
Eternity contained in time-
Through a hole in our life
Of which we know nothing
As unaware the' wear and tear', we wear
Is but a corpse masqueraded as body.

Dawn

Sun lit glow aglow set the sky'
Space mere shape around me
Earthly body warm awake
Independent of man and choiring crikets

Yet only for them, i would not be here
With the fire of the first sun,
But without anywhere to rest
Cannot stand still or put on hold,

Only wane to end, forever to begin
To light polish sun mirror
With some other fragment of life,
Conceiving day.

An oyster's being

Inward inverted in shell shut as in self'
Tempest tossed, in ocean lost
Yet still lies, still in life
When storms subside to stillness.
Greater than the wonder of the deep

The wonder that holds it whole,
That blows breath to the real within-
Sheer revelation of its being
Made mother pearl, hole proof,
Quick to catch light when sun buried,
Moonlike reflects hidden light.

Mother Moment

What's nature's decree
Is but an image of you
Already containing me,
Not brought, on my own come,
As flesh's truth at mother moment,
In the process of creation

As you conceived life. that splits by itself into,
Two from one- wonderful economy
Of providence, to make a life for me,
Snapping blood cord to deliver
A mother to her baby, allowing the new born
To create a mother.
