Hopeful Moonlight
It was shining intensely
The full moon so high
In the illuminated sky.
That light brightened our way
A message of courage
Turned worries away...
A time to pray
To be grateful
For signs of clarity
Dwelling in our soul and mind
Feelings of purity
Unique of that kind!

Melody
Caring words, noble feelings, wise thoughts
Have been enchanting from afar.
A friendship so true, warm, and soft
Worth being a tune for your guitar.
We can listen to the strings echoing
Blessed melodies so high,
And telling stories of living
That joyfully reach the sky!

Landscapes Of The Mind
Thoughts travelling across lanes of joy
Leave footprints of cheerfulness
Speaking to us in a quietness
We'd love forever to enjoy.
Thoughts journeying through avenues of wisdom
Remain modest, serene, kind
Telling us lofty stories of a kingdom
Through landscapes of the mind.

Waking Up...
Waking up...
Beholding books, flowers
A blessing wrapped me up
In a sweet time of ours.
Energy quickly came
Instilling hope into me
It was that same flame
Daily nurturing me.
I want to keep believing
It will always be around
Sustaining our living
Under God's blessings found!

My Journey
In the silence of the night
I set my journey quietly.
Past memories were my company,
and I walked very fastly.
Here and there...
others joined me,
which was fair.
Stories were told
while walking my way.
Some obstacles I had to face,
but God was there
to help with my pace!

Belief
We believe in inner strength,
Determination, meditation,
Intelligence, divine signs -
Supreme Light -
Protecting us, cheering our heart
Filling it with love and art.
We talk to God, daily prayer
Imploring Him to bless
Our thoughts - innocently brought-
To pursue our journey
In eternal love and glory!

Silence
Away from hustle and bustle
Of the crowded town
Try and seek something deep
Enhancing an inner uplift
Rather than let you down.
Listen to your quiet Self
Be therein as long as you can
Welcoming the warmth and the quietness
Of thoughts, and emotions brought.
Practise it every now and then...

Sharing Peace
Lost in a musical pilgrimage
We were impressed by beautiful melodies
Whose awesome sounds deeply resonate
As a true spiritual privilege.
Mind and soul shared a peaceful mood
For hours experiencing as much as we could
Helped by a violin, a guitar, and a flute
Nourishing our heart so mute!

Moods
She woke up in calm, thoughtful mood,
Looked at the plants around
Thanking for blessings as she could.
But she felt sad and confounded...
Major concerns echoed in her heart.
Her son, who lives afar, didn't connect...
But when he shares news with such an art
She dreams of a new, exciting project.

Praise
An Angel has come to me
Manifesting much joy
And I stayed a little coy
On his approaching divinely.
He's brought clear signs of purity
Singing hymns of exaltation
Oh, such a deep incantation
Cherished in serenity.
We were granted blessings
What a deep emotion
Experienced with devotion
On a day of celebration!
