Smile:)

    Sunlight shines across your face,
as a smile slips across your lips.
    The moon sulks,
at the entrancing incandescence,

of your shimmering eyes. 
    And the earth falls silent,
under the gentle caress,
of your Divine lotus feet.

     Oh Bhagavan,
my sweet Bhagavan,
you are delicious.
    The most flavorsome of prasads,
the perfectly seasoned dish.
     If I had only one wish,
it would be to have my fill,
of this most perfectly, seasoned, bliss.

    I always feel you're with me,
sitting quietly in my heart.
    I wonder how many times you've saved me and granted me a brand new start.
    I wonder how many times you've kicked me, when I've failed to play my part. 
    And I wonder how many times you've helped me, when it seemed I'd forgotten
how to laugh.

    Everytime I fall down,
you pick me right back up.
    Every time my mind doubts,
your love fills me right back up.
    Every time I give up,
on ever getting it right,
you smile and I smile
    And all of nature trembles,
with pure and utter delight.

    (When I was trying to decide,

 how to start this poem this smiley face manifested itself in the caramel at work. It was the condensation from the tray above dripping down on the hot caramel.) :)

The Time Has Come.

In the very centre of my heart,

lives a love that's unbroken,

untouched and unrealized 

and it cannot be spoken.

It's not a love of emotion 

or a love for promotion , 

it's pure and sweet 

and drunk with devotion.

The time has come,

to dig deep for that purity, 

to sacrifice our wants

and give up on insecurity.

No where will we find,

a love here on Earth,

that compares to the love,

that we have yet to unearth.

The end has come, 

for our half assed attitudes, 

we can no longer play out,

this life of ingratitude.

If we put others first,

with no thoughts of the cost, 

just ever so slowly,

this heart might defrost.

We have to begin,

to discover our purpose, 

why are we are here?

and discount all,

that is worth less.

We have to give up,

on just making do, 

the time to be earnest,

is long overdue.

What is our purpose?

Why are we here?

What are we waiting for?

What do we fear?

The time has come,

to dig deep for the truth, 

to live it and breathe it 

and stop looking for proof.

It's all our fears and our doubts, 

that hide faith from us.

It's all our fears and our doubts,

that create the distrust.

Every moment is now, 

every now a beginning.

Every moment is now,
and it's Time for a new innings!

All it takes is a smile,

to get this heart singing, 

all it takes is a grin,

to have your joy swimming.

Swimming in an ocean,

that's to the brim with devotion,
swimming in a love,

that's devoid of emotion.

The time has come, 

to raise our vibration,
and inspire us all,

to seek, 

liberation.

Finding God.

In order to find God we need to let go of all our attachments.

We need to let go of our attachments to being right and our attachments to relationships.

We need to let go of the attachments to our habits and our attachments to worldly things.

We need to let go of our attachments to being loved and our attachments to needing Love.

We also need to let go of our attachments to success and our attachments to security.

We need to move through from our emotional way of looking at the world and feeling the world, to a place of truth.

We need to live that truth.

We need to be that truth.

We need to own that Truth.

Thoughts.

If I could but rest awhile
and give up on all my thoughts.
If I could just rest awhile
and forget all there is,

but nought.
I might wake up sufficiently,
to realize,
what I have bought. 

It's lying in my bed at night,
trapped inside this head.
That I can hear the subtle insanities,
of my silly paranoid profanities. 

The damage that we do,
when we wallow in our fears,
is realized in our futures,
as we wonder at our tears. 

It's these deadly silent fears,
that kill our strength of will.
They'll kill our strength of will,
quicker than a malodorous little pill.

It's these negative misgivings,
that poison all our thoughts.
They eat away and contaminate,
all the good that we've been taught.

If I could just rest awhile
and give up on all my thoughts,
I might just find the very thing,
that rich and poor have sought.
The very thing that eludes us all,
that will take us to the source.
Lies deep within our very selves,
and will get us back on course.

If we listen to the silence,
that rests between each breath.
There lies the spring of all our wisdom,
that goes beyond all births and deaths.

The very thing we need to hear,
will be poignant to the moment,
and will guide us step by step,
each day,
till we reach our Divine atonement.

Swimming in Sunshine.

Swimming in sunshine,
bathing in light,
awash in your moon-glow,
never far from your bright.

As I sit quietly, eyes shut,
and the mind starts to roam,
your flickering candle of moth-light,
shepherds me home.

Your beacon of love,
banishes the dark of confusion,
and lights up the path,
that eludes all illusion.

Swimming in sunshine,
bathing in light,
awash in your moon-glow,
never far from your bright.

A Moment In Forever.

Leaping into the air
I leave the world behind me...
and for a second,
all of its worries.

A child again,
for a moment, in forever...
I remember....
busy doing I forget.
Then I spring into the ether
and I remember again,
what it is, that I had forgotten.

But again,
it slips between my fingers like water,
misplaced but not lost,
with faith the only cost.

When I leap into the atmosphere,
for one breath, I am weightless,
for a blink, I am timeless,
for a moment in forever,
I am free.....

The Light Turned Green.

Sitting at that red light,
the clouds parted
and the feeling
and the experience,
of true surrender,
hit me squarely between the eyes....
and dropped me.

For a brief moment I understood.
I felt the burden of carrying,
all those worries and fears and expectations....... lift.

For a brief moment,
sitting at that red light,
I experienced bliss, God's grace,
call it what you will,
I was free.

I was free to soak up,
that beautiful love,
that unquestionable love,
for free.

Tears welled up in my eyes....
my chest expanded....
and then.....
....... the lights turned green..... :)

I Looked Into Your Eyes.

I looked into your eyes,

and wanted nothing,
knew nothing,
felt nothing. 

I looked into your eyes 

and I loved you,
but I did not need you.

I felt not the need to talk,
to ask,
to own,
to understand.

I trust you felt my love,
but felt no need for proof.
I looked into your eyes,

and saw you,
felt you,
freed you.

Your love embraced me,

and made me whole,
lighter, larger.
I felt your love of my love, 

God's love,
loves love,

and I smiled.

I had given nothing,

and received nothing.
No thing had I given,

and no thing had I received.

Like a wave I reached your shore,
and was home.
Like a bird forsaking its nest
for the first time,
I swooped into your open arms.

Absorbed into my true nature,
my God nature,
 my love nature,
I was lost and found,
in the same breath.

I looked into your eyes,

and saw me,
in Thee. 

That's what set me free. 

Love Wins Love.

Close your eyes for a second and as you breath in, imagine breathing in the feeling of great love.
Envision that love filling every part of you and lifting your spirits up to the heavens.
Hold your breath for a second and then slowly breathe out, feeling that love imbue everyone and everything around you.

Do it for a little while, early in the morning, before you start the day.
Then try and remember now and then
throughout your day, at work, at home,
singing in the shower, anywhere.

The first time I tried, I had the biggest smile on my face and I had the best day. Everyone was happy, I felt like I was a magnet for love and a conductor for love and a transmitter for love.

So give it a go, you deserve it and the universe can always find room, for some more love. :)

As Big As The Sky.

I hope reading this, helps you, as much as it helped me, writing it.

A mind that's in doubt,
has a heart that's in drought.
Doubt eats away
and keeps sweetness at bay.

A mind that is sweet 

and full of compassion,
has a heart that's in love and
drowning in passion. 

A passion for life 

and all it's unexpected adventures
and a passion for love 

and all its unexpected connections.

A heart that is sweet,

cannot be resisted. 

It opens all doorways 

and can't be desisted. 

When we look the world in the eye,
with total approval,
it'll melt away all our hurts,

a timely removal.

For if we keep judging others,
we're only hurting ourselves. 
We're creating the doubts,
that are harming our cells. 

For cancer is caused,

by this dark, harmful thinking
and keeps our sweetness at bay
and has our hearts,

slowly sinking.

Sinking into a bind, 

of self loathing and pride. 
Stuck in our hurts,

with nowhere to hide. 

It's only on the opening,

of our souls to the world,
that our worries 

and neurosis,

will slowly unfurl.

It might be awkward 

and embarrassing, 

to us, 

at first. 
But it's our only way forward,

from our shyness and hurts.

For when we open our hearts,

with no thoughts of the cost. 
No longer will our souls,

be helpless and lost.

When we open our hearts

and look the world in the eye. 
Nothing can resist, 

a love as big as the sky.
