Soul Sickness
Soul Sickness can’t be cured with effort or will Something else is needed if the soul is ill. Climbing mountains high, or even a hill Going through some kind of boot-camp drill Will only distract, or at best, hours fill; For Soul Sickness, there is no magic pill.
What the sick soul needs is time to be still Empty itself from all, be naught and nil; Until Grace of God, soul’s soil may till And sow seeds of life, reap, take to the mill.

Color & Light
All around, many a colorful sight Is created by the power of the light In the darkness of black midnight We see no color or shade in sight. Deprived of color, in our fright We simply blame the dark night. We avoid the blinding light Of the daytime sun beaming bright. Sun carries all colors in light white Source of all light, gives color might.
The world of appearance we embrace Its cause, the mind, we displace Succumbed to the powerful time and space We blame the mask, ourselves disgrace Yet our mind is the place Which appearance will replace And our mind's source is God's grace Which gives rise to the human race. We turn away from God's face The source of mind, time and space

Gardener & Teacher
I planted some yellow daffodils Using my best gardening skills. Unbeknownst to me among the seeds Were mixed the seeds of some weeds. Very soon my garden flowered Was then by weeds overpowered, I had to dig my garden deep Uproot the plants and burn that heap.
Many teachers are false preachers Their plots, minds of naive creatures. What they teach is half-truths Their teaching simple minds soothes. A half-truth is half false In spite of its living pulse: The beautiful truth brings delight The lie, the weed, transforms that sight.
Ignorant gardener who flowers breeds Among the seeds plants the weeds, The false teacher with good intentions Among truths, many lies mentions; Gardener will dig his garden deep, False teacher's flames to skies shall leap; The gardener his plants uproots, False teacher brings many false fruits.

The Traveler
A man once asked, "who are you?" "A traveler, just like you!" "All my life I've lived here And here I will disappear!" "That may be so," I told that man "look another way, I'm sure you can. You may be born in this place And here death will know your face, But in the long term perspective You only have a brief time to live. You come here from another place And you'll go to a different space, But for a brief life time or so This part of your trip you'll get to know. You too are a traveler, like me Our difference, the way I see To cover much space with time I race, You'd rather stay longer in one place."

Calm before the Storm
They say there is a calm before the storm Yet there is a calm of a different form Coming in the storm's aftermath, Followed by another stormy wrath.
Before and after a storm there is calm Before and after calm too there is storm. In the desert there is cactus and palm One prickly, other into food transform.
No point blessing one, the other curse Face one, with the other yourself nurse. Through tough times lighten your purse In good times generously disburse.

Walk the Talk
It is so easy to say Such & such is the right way But when it’s time to play And my neck on the line lay No more time to talk But the talk I must walk My fears all surface Challenges I must face It becomes though to tread The very path I dread Integrity will demand By my own rules I command And if I take a stand I must first understand What others I have do The same I must do too And if on this path I encounter much wrath So be it, I must face That wrath with much grace Else stop my talk Till the talk I can walk.

Heart’s Design
Heart for spreading love was designed Getting even, comes from the ego mind The heart that can’t put things behind Will only punish and bind. Put outrageous and unkind Conditions out of your mind; If these, by love were defined To all misdeeds would be blind. Noble heart banished, confined By the calculating, despotic mind; Yet if the heart freedom can find Will be generous, loving and kind. Heart for spreading love was designed All else is simply maligned.

Take a Chance
Once upon a time I read a book by chance Where Gandhi said take a risk in romance I took a risk with an intent and loving glance But the lady did not wish to dance.
I learnt a risk is only a risk If we are willing to accept failure brisk, And if I never took that chance How could this experience me enhance?
The question is did I lose Or was failure if this I did not choose? I succeeded for now I prance Regardless of outcome take my chance.

Sunflower
When the sun rises from the East Sunflower like a solar priest Turns towards the sun facing the light And then tracing the solar flight Chasing its beloved all through the day So long as the sun is on its way. With each flower, a thousand seeds Follow the light as the flower leads. Each day the seeds with the flower grow Each reflecting the solar glow; Until the flower will release each seed And each seed a flower will breed. Earth sunflower, we the seeds Like a Pearl amidst galactic beads Hurtling with so much delight Progress its divine plight. We take part in this flight And behold the divine sight Until Earth will let us go And from each a new world will grow.

Exploration
Early adventurers would bravely explore a region, Though not easy, their numbers were legion; They'd enter an unknown land, yard by yard Explore, overcome, advance, the easy and hard.
Life too is the adventurous exploration of an unknown land Step by step explore, challenge, take a stand. Birth is like entering a region without a map, Death none other than falling into the final trap.

Rationality
My friend said, "scientific rationality is the only thing that makes sense, For subjective feeling and personal belief there can be no defense." I said, "I understand this is your feeling and belief, I shall not argue, to avoid any unwanted future grief."

Horse to Water
You may touch a bird, if not by hand, by song To take a horse to water and make it drink is wrong. If one can not see, can use another sense But if one will not see, will only put up defense.

The Priest
Pre-dawn darkness, a savage beast Until sunrise lit up the east Before me it laid out a feast Enjoy the feast I could do least I was the flock, nature my priest.

Birds on the Roof
The birds congregated on the roof While in the sun I sat aloof One by one they fly and go I wonder what it is they know And soon the sun sets down on me I need to go and let them be.

Waves
The rolling waves against the hard rocks harshly beat Upon the sandy shores, prostrate at my feet. The rolling times, the hard hearts harshly treat The whole world will the gentle heart kindly greet.

Life's Theft
Often in life I choose a goal And proceed to play my role. If life's goal from me didn't hide I'd never have agreed to its stride. If we knew of life's theft None would have come, stayed, or left. Our mortal shells, a temporal Show Eternal souls eternally glow.

The Pearl
There are many fish in the ocean that swim and swirl But it's the oyster that turns water into Pearl; Ideas numerous, as many drops as the ocean can hold But it's the person who can turn ideas into gold.

Saint & Philosopher
The bowl that floats on the ocean, can only the waters crown, The sieve that tastes the waters, in the ocean will drown The philosopher who describes love and truth is but an empty crown The Saint who embraces truth and love will gladly drown.

Reflections
Gazing into the waters, I saw myself at the edge of a pond I gazed at my reflection, it gazed at me, I felt an eternal bond; I saw my own image, was a mirage, a creature water bound It saw a mirage craning over it, a creature bound to the ground.
