My Guardian Angel

Chosen by destiny
to watch over me
Watching yet allowing
my free will to express itself
Guiding yet not interfering
in my soul's choices
You are my guardian angel
I long to meet
Please show yourself to me,
my guardian angel
I wish to connect with you
in the visible realm
Please dispell my doubts
and lay to rest the confusion
wrought my my flickering mind

The Infinite Spiral

The ever expanding universe beckons us
to grow and expand beyond ourselves
To never stop growing
...is to be natural
This train has no destination
but only the journey
The vehicle never tires
to carry the burden
Till it is crushed,
by self defeating thoughts
Limitless power abounds within us
and unfathomable serenity
To grow is our only dharma,
grow into a higher
and yet higher dimension

Anger and rage

Angst and rage rises inside me
at those who betray others
Trust is a sacred thing
torn asunder by infidels
When anger turns to rage,
it burns those who come in it's way
Only an ocean of love
can pacify the rage
I have a bounty of love inside
to temper my rage
I vow today
to trust no one but God
The God inside me
and in everyone

Those who don't understand

Those who don't understand brotherhood
kill to expand their territories
Those who don't understand happiness
know only to cause misery to others
Those who don't understand healing
know only to abuse their bodies
Those who don't understand empathy
know only to cause suffering in others
Those who don't understand God's love,
try to steal it from others
Those who don't understand compassion,
hurt others to no end
Those who don't understand abundance
know only to steal from others to sustain themselves
O Lord, bless us all with the understanding
of your mighty nature, and ours. Amen!

The daffodil and the sunflower

The daffodils don't depend upon the Sun to bloom.
the sunflower does
But the daffodil cannot match
the devotion of the sunflower to the Sun
It brims with joy upon seeing the Sun
turning it's way and prostrating to it

The footprints

On the sands of time,
I saw some footprints
Small, faded and smudged
yet their print was deep
When I put my foot on those footprints
they did not match
I had outgrown the footprints

Thawing the heart

Melting the calcified heart
takes centuries
Yet the Divine flow of Love
Takes a moment to release the pain and unblock the heart

When God created darkness

When God created darkness,
He didn't create a heart for it
For He would have to 
fill it with Love
Defeating the purpose
of creating the darkness
He filled it with fear and hatred
for one and all
The darkness continues to fill with fear and hatred
anyone it touches
If God wanted Love to flourish
Why did He create the darkness?
When Light is created,
the shadow gets created on it's own
The Light cannot exist
without the darkness
But it is upto us
whether to choose the Light or the darkness

A life without purpose

A life without purpose
Is like an ocean without water
A heart without love
A mother without a child
A Sun without the Light
A star without a twinkle
A house without an occupant
A temple without an idol
A field without crops
A soldier without a gun
A throne without a king
A vehicle without fuel
A flower without it's bloom
A mountain without it's peak
Yet most of us roam the earth
as living corpses
Living a life,
Life without purpose

I Resolve

I resolve to give up vengeance 
I resolve to give up hatred
I resolve to accept love in my life
I resolve to welcome love in my life
I resolve to accept the Divine into my life
I resolve to spread love for the rest of my life

The Life bird

The life bird is trapped
between the haves and have nots
The life is trapped between the two,
one aspiring for the life of the other.
The life force in the cells is screaming
"Return me to my natural state"
Yet we abuse our bodies like hell,
strangulating it with toxins
The cells die a slow death,
choking on the poisons we feed them with
The stupor keeps us from the Truth,
buried deep within
Purge your body force
with life giving and enhancing wonders
Stop treating your body like a junkyard,
filling it with filth of the mind
Stuffing up to the neck with cancer
which eats away the Soul
Minute by minute, hour by hour,
making you waste an incarnation
Summon the life force within
to express itself
Make it cleanse your body divine
with life giving food and thoughts
Nurturing it with loving thoughts,
for one and all, even your enemies
For the enemy is the one inside
which separates you from the rest
The wretched mind swelled by the ego
lead astray in revenge
Calm it down with the calling of your soul
and loving kindness - your birthright
Summon the Divine in your flesh
and raise your body to meet the Heaven
For it is in the body
that the heaven descends to meet itself

Let me be me

Let me be me
nothing but me
Every cell of me finding expression
in the universe through me
Let me be me
nothing but me
When I am not me
I am not living
Following the clouds up in the sky,
let me walk in the clouds
Let me fall to earth if that's what it takes,
to walk in the clouds
Let me be the river and the Ocean
Let me be the bird which soars in 
the sky
Let me be me
nothing but me

The wind doesn't care which direction it flows 
The river meanders in whichever direction it finds a way.
The clouds don't have a set path to follow
Yet man wanders in seach of a path
Thinking and thinking before taking a step
Trying to find his place in the universe
Yet he creates only misery for the Earth and it's inhabitants
He has gone astray in search of his path
The only path is the Path shown by destiny
The only direction to follow is the one shown by Him 

The hunt for my abode

The hunt for my abode continues,
the one I envisioned in my dreams
I can settle for nothing less
but the one that's for me
Perfect in every sense
with no room for doubt or fear
The Lord provides for us all
the King as well the pauper
If you want a palace
demand it from your Father
And settle for nothing less
than the palace you deserve

The Essence

The river has become the Ocean
yet the river did not die
How can river be the Ocean
yet retaining it's identity as the river?
The Lord smiled and answered,
there is no difference at all
Between the river and the Ocean
for their essence is water

River becomes Ocean

When knowledge becomes wisdom
only sages can say
The shores of the river don't know
how long the river is or where will it end
The river needs to lose it's shores
to become the Ocean

Lend me your wings

Lend me your wings O Angels,
for I need to fly high today
Leaving the mundane earth behind,
up above in the Heavens
Heavens beckon me
for I am a celestial being trapped in the human flesh
Enslaved for centuries by the lust
of this enchanting world
Yet the divine spark within me
is as fresh since it was born
I long to go out of flesh
but not in death
I long to witness the immortal Self
and watch it traverse the Universe
Lend me your wings O Angels,
for I need to fly high today
