Rest

Madhavi...

Malati...

Drops rolling 
dripping off leaf tips
kiss the ground
sweet fragrance of rain released

Warmth on my boughs awakens me
We lengthen limbs
Reach for sun gaze
Swelling seed pods erupt
And scatter
Blooms burst
Nectar gushes
Blossoms free fall

(Sanskrit plant names)

Ponder

Workers of self worth, 
create castles higher

Bad masters abound, 
toss fuel on the fire

//Their success in dissatisfaction//

Projection of self,
desires proliferate

//Burning on in throngs of mass distraction//

Wrapped up in vines,
dogs barking at the gate

NEVER ENOUGH

//House alarm on red//

Barrage of critiques
Fighting hand and tooth

Grappling for rightness 
Monopoly on the truth

NEVER ENOUGH

Friends and enemies,
spinning with the globe.
Combat for control.

Banking on the things,
that crash crumble;
Hearts shatter and fumble.

IT’S NEVER ENOUGH

Happening in the name of the truth,
fog thickens, can’t see through
Thinking black and white, primitive ways.
Beyond that there are many shades of grey.

Never Enough

This whole cosmic manifestation is just like a flashing dream...

Dream...

Satsvarupam...

(Translation of the sanskrit:
This entire universe, which like a dream is by nature unreal, nevertheless appears real, and thus it covers one’s consciousness and assails one with repeated miseries. This universe appears real because it is manifested by the potency of illusion emanating from You, whose unlimited tr anscendental forms are full of eternal happiness and knowledge.
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.14.22

Lord Brahmā said: My dear Lord, You are the only worshipable Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and therefore I offer my humble obeisances and prayers just to please You. O son of the king of the cowherds, Your transcendental body is dark blue like a new cloud, Your garment is brilliant like lightning, and the beauty of Your face is enhanced by Your guñjā earrings and the peacock feather on Your head. Wearing garlands of various forest flowers and leaves, and equipped with a herding stick, a buffalo horn and a flute, You stand beautifully with a morsel of food in Your hand.
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.14.1)

Cosmic Manifestation

The One that is closer than your breath
than your breath
than your breath

The One that is closer than your breath
than your breath
than your breath

\\

Breath glides down
Mind rides along
Come back to calm
Come back to calm

Clear mirror
Water's surface
Present here, now
In nucleus space

Gates open
Breath ignites
Fire spark
Fleck of light

Pour oil
Orange swirl
Burn away
Make way, make way

\\

The One that is closer than your breath
than your breath
than your breath

The One that is closer than your breath
than your breath
than your breath

\\

Place the moon
In a lotus bloom
Petals unfurl
Come sit in the whorl

Cascading aromas
Revealing persona
Orchestral piece
My self released

On a jeweled seat,
Your lotus feet.
Flower necklace, 
Around bumblebees

This earthen vessel
It’s mind and senses
Focus freshened
Into transcendence

\\

The One that is closer than your breath
than your breath
than your breath

The One that is closer than your breath
than your breath
than your breath

Closer Than Your Breath

At the cliff…

looking down.

//There’s a risk in trusting//

There’s a distance…

to the ground.

Empty dry
In awe of endless sky

///////

I jumped into cloudbursts,
trusting wings to play with the wind.
Here in the darkness, 
I have come to collect liquid sunshine.

//////

I yell out into the navy sky.

///There’s a risk in trusting///

Over fields of untouched gems.

A song I am soaring in,
across valleys.
No more worries now,
in your song.

June Night

Here in this place
new light is streaming
now is the darkness vanish away
See in this space
my fears and my dreamings
brought here to you in the light of this day

Gather me in 
I’m lost and foresaken
Gather me in 
I’m blind and I’m lame
Call to me now
I want to awaken
I want to rise at the sound of your name.

(Remix of Gather Us In by Marty Haugen)
