In all that we are,
And in all that we do, we
Are your promise-drop.
🌼
If we leave this world
Just one thing, let it be our
Breath of gratitude.
🌼
🌸
Where the winds run high —
The air, clear, crisp and clean — there,
The pinnacle play!
🌸
My Lord, rescue me
From ingratitude island —
If you can find it?
🌸
🌼
I feel the presence
Of your heart’s smile in the soft
Morning air — I feel.
🌼
I see your face in
The sky-blue vast; in cloud-white
Brushstrokes fine — I see.
🌼
I hear you running
Through the green and the dense groves;
Your footfalls — I hear.
🌼
I catch your sweet and
Gentle fragrance as it plays
On the breeze — I catch.
🌼
I taste the nectar
Bliss of your ambrosial
Heaven-height — I taste.
🌼
I touch the edge of
The finite when your soul comes
To bless me — I touch.
🌼
🌸
Who says God is a
Non-interventionist — when
HOPE lives in our hearts.
🌸

🌸
Hokusai’s Great Wave
Never breaks — beyond time, it
Remains immortal.
🌸
12
🌼
Your gentle heart-waves
Wash over my heart — with all-
Embracing oneness.
🌼
In you, I see the
Unattainable beauty
Of heavenly heights.
🌼
In the core of my
Heart, I hear your sweet whispers —
In their joyful play.
🌼
🌸
Remember to pray —
Forgiveness alone will cure
Our forgetfulness.
🌸
The pre-requisites
For a happy heart — hands that
Pray and feet that run.
🌸
🌸
You are coming home
And my heart is thrilled — I can
Not wait to see you!
🌸
🌼
In the City of
Hearts — no stop and go signs,
Just signs of progress.
🌼
We are the life breath
Of our soul on earth — here to
Manifest one Dream.
🌼
Do illumine me,
Lord of the effulgent Light
With your divine gaze.
🌼
🌸
A starry night sky —
All the cosmos gathers for
One finite moment.
🌸
We have searched and searched,
For centuries — an endless
Journey — still, we try.
🌸
🌼
If oneness cannot
Find a home on earth
Then where will it go!
🌼
If dissent is the
Example we set now — then
What of the future!
🌼
Our role is not to
Correct a confused world — but
Pray that Light descends.
🌼
🌸
We are drops of Peace
Come to fill the ocean vast
With dreams of oneness.
🌸
At evening’s close, my
Tired heart is crying for
Your smiles of love-light.
🌸
🌼
To know nothing, is
By far better than to know
The gossiper’s tale.
🌼
O river of hope
Take our hearts with you to your
Vision’s destiny.
🌼
We hold desire
Tight in hand while time slips like
Sand through our fingers.
🌼
🌸
As the disparate
Sounds of day fade to night, our
Hearts claim the silence.
🌸
Life should not be the
Sum of shattered fragments, but
One unbroken whole.
🌸
Peace — so simple — yet
Difficult for a complex
World to understand.
🌸
🌼
For those who live in
The heart, the chains of the mind
Can never bind them.
🌼
We pray for God’s Grace —
Rather than wait forever
Until all else fails.
🌼
🌸
Where is the heart that
Never stops loving, and the
Smile that never ends?
🌸
For you, we care — there
Is not a minute in the
Day we do not care.
🌸
God’s concern is the
Golden thread, woven into
The fabric of life.
🌸
🌼
Each unenlightened
Opinion is complicit
In truth division.
🌼
A Oneness Band will
Be playing God Songs in our
Heart Palace tonight.
🌼
You are such a soulful inspired and appreciator
🌸
All in a moment,
Your smile caught my heart in
Its skyward embrace.
🌸
The sleeping lion
Is purring, perhaps dreaming —
Of his own heaven!
🌸
🌼
O inner pilot
Of my life’s journey, how can
I ever thank you!
🌼
The world says and does
Anything — must we react
To everything!
🌼
Our souls are singing
And dancing on the highest
Branch of our life-tree.
🌼
🌸
Each and every day,
A new poem wings its way
Home — to your heart’s nest.
🌸
Our sense of oneness
Knows instantly, of that which
The mind makes no sense.
🌸
🌼
When heaven and earth
Meet, worlds merge and emerge in
Glorious newness.
🌼
In toss and tarry,
In the swirling currents of
Life — we learn to swim.
🌼
New world leaders should
Have an age limit — none more
Then seven years old!
🌼
🌸
On the mountain crests —
Home to ethereal heights —
There, gods meditate.
🌸
World transformation,
May not come in our time — but
At God’s destined hour.
🌸
🌼
Our philosophy
Of life, must be consistent
With reality.
🌼
Your philosophy
Of life, transcends the limits
Of reality.
🌼
God’s philosophy
Of life is perfection of
All realities.
🌼
🌸
Let us dive into
The endless beauty of a
Luminescent sea.
🌸
Out of your silence-
Heart was born all that has been
And all that will be.
🌸
Our hearts are longing
For ever-higher worlds — those
Blessed by God’s own Hand.
🌸
🌼
The piano — your
Field of Kurukshetra — where
Plays the battle high!
🌼
Sweet memories of
You still spread far across the
Vast inner heartscape.
🌼
I sail upon a
Sea of peace, because I have
Your smile in my heart.
🌼
🌸
Worldly thoughts only
Give us headaches — never mind
Illumination.
🌸
We are given to
Earth by the stars, to spread the
Light of the heavens.
🌸
No ordinary
Mind can contain all the heart’s
Possibilities.
🌸
🌼
In the seeking, in
The finding, in the becoming —
Our hearts are complete.
🌼
One glance from you, and
In a twinkling, the world goes
From darkness to light.
🌼
🌸
Let us pray, mankind’s
Actions today preserve a
World for tomorrow.
🌸
Let us pray, mankind’s
Actions today deserve a
World of tomorrow.
🌸
When tomorrow comes
And the world falls silent — God’s
New promise will dawn!
🌸
🌼
You touched our hearts with
Ageless grace — a child who jumped
Each hurdle of life!
🌼
Irrepressible
Joy you gave; inner beauty
You gave — smiles you gave.
🌼
🌸
The monsoon winds come
With the blessingful gift of
Transformation-rain.
🌸
To tally life’s worth
In wins and losses — yet to
Ignore inner peace!
🌸
🌼
The paradox of
Life — to find our true selves, we
Must first lose ourselves.
🌼
Love, devotion and
Surrender — the solution
To all life’s problems.
🌼
🌸
God loves happy hearts —
Just to be happy can make
Miracles happen.
🌸
Only in heaven,
Could such a soul exist, yet
You walked among us.
🌸
🌼
As the snowline of
Mount Fuji begins to melt —
Haiku waters flow.
🌼
I write heart poems
On the wind, and bid them take
Sweet tidings to you.
🌼
May gratitude tears
Fall like gentle rain upon
Your forgiveness heart.
🌼
🌸
As birds fly south on
Ancient wings, so there is a
Season for each soul.
🌸
We are twice blessed — once
When we know, then when we
Know — what to forget.
🌸
🌼
Let centuries pass —
Time is of no consequence
When you are with me.
🌼
We are not finite,
We play not finity’s game.
We are — infinite!
🌼
🌸
Those were the years of
Wonder, when seconds contained
Eternity, and
We ran with light speed to catch
Infinity in our hands.
🌸
One gratitude thought
Is all it takes to open
Your forgiveness heart.
🌸
🌼
We swim in the peace
Of a meditation sea —
Absorbed in silence.
🌼
In ways unforeseen,
Your divine countenance draws
Our hearts close to you.
🌼
Poet of the heart,
You need no words to express
Your innermost dreams.
🌼
🌸
Why crowd our minds with
More thoughts — when we have far too
Many of our own!
🌸
Inspired thoughts have
A line of sight directly
To the heart of Truth.
🌸
🌼
An inner door will
Open — just patiently
wait
And quietly pray.
🌼
Even when you are
Not here, you are here — because
Your heart is with me.
🌼
🌸
We are pilgrim souls
Following our gratitude
Path — to our heart home.
🌸
This much, I do not
Know — when, where, what, how and why,
Yet, I do know — Who!
🌸
Each gift I receive,
I offer to your heart from
Mine — without a thought.
🌸
🌼
You came into my
Life at just the right time — of
Your divine choosing.
🌼
The innocent eyes
Of a child see most clearly —
Goodness in this world.
🌼
Let us please our Lord
Supreme for at least one day
In this fleeting life.
🌼
