Your Sunrise

e5a6e080c190dd7423c30b8d58ab5b9f

Keep silent the speaking mind
With hearts like the rising sun
A beauty so splendid it blinds
What is human but sacred light?

Never will you cage the sun
How has the darkness come?
Hiding in the shade
It is we who make our tombs

Escape from the shadow of doubt
If you wish to know your truth
Climb the ladder of Being
You’ll become what you are

On the journey from truth to truth
Let virtue live within
Let beauty spread around
Let prayer make you move

Don’t be stuck here and there
Everything should move as one
The way of peace and balance
Knowing the truth of things

Having knowledge of the sun
Knowing it waits inside
Born to displace the night
Quietly watch the miracle

The sunrise within

Nature Brings me Life

c3f80061bf3d91b2fd795add808bdeee

Nature revives my soul to life
Sitting under the smiling sun
Lying on a warm bed of grass
Singing hymns with blooming flowers

When I feel the darkness spreading
Nature revives my soul to life
My arms spread wide as the ocean
The breeze carries me to heaven

I dance my heart out in the rain
Soaked in mercy from head to toe
Nature revives my soul to life
I laugh out loud and thank the skies

The face of beauty everywhere
The world full of splendid light
Whenever I feel dead inside
Nature revives my soul to life

Beauty Everywhere

cd02e903e7ef05286c56c0224b769bd8

Watch where your feet land
God is hidden in the world
Do not step upon the flower
The fragrance of the Sacred

It doesn’t matter where you look
The face of Beauty everywhere
The world is a temple
Where patience teaches peace

What does it mean to be human?
Stirred of divinity and dust
It’s not difficult to choose
Is bronze the same as gold?

Do not become Truth and Beauty
How can you become what you are?
Dust has settled on your heart
Dance, just dance and shake it off

Smile my dearest Love
All these worries aren’t you
Be clear and still like the river
And see how the Divine is reflected in you

On Those Days

2989ed139340c9e9bdf2398d9adf2138

On those days

When my soul comes to life

It becomes the Garden in which I walk

Embraced by the warmth of the sun

Receiving, the cool breeze flows through me

This is my paradise

Where beauty surrounds me and gratitude fills me

This is Paradise

I am Love and Love is me – How Lovely

There is no need to understand

All is known

With a single sip

Of Reality

The World Is Crying

4bb9301e88a99cf084f82ed9a034a379

The world is crying out for help
Empty stomachs scream in pain
Listen lovers of hoarded gold
Give and turn your hearts
Into priceless jewels

The world is crying out for help
Ignorant hatred fogs the world
You who claim to love the truth
Clear the air and speak out loud
Do it even if you stand alone

The world is crying out for help
The sky is raining blood
They hear their mother wailing loud
Why don’t her children
Heed her call?

The world is crying out for help
She cries for there is always hope
As long as there’s a heart that loves
The odds are in favour
Of our world

Naught But a Seeker

4540e86c5811ee2828aa602a75cabd56

I wandered for many years
A thousand rising suns
A thousand silent nights
I journeyed like the ocean
Moving from shore to shore

Every now and then
I would come across some people

With my unshaven beard
and worn out sandals
They would beg the question
I would answer proudly

‘I am naught but a seeker!’

And they would always be impressed

One day
As I continued to travel
(without a compass)
I met a man with a musky scent
Clean cut and brand new clothes
He sat on a meadow green bed
Watching the sky sail by

As I approached him
He turned to me and asked…

Judgingly
I replied proudly

‘You wouldn’t understand’

Yet, he insisted and argued

‘What harm could an answer cause?’

And so I said,
without thinking
For my tongue had
Memorized the words

‘I am naught but a seeker!’

He asked gently

‘What is it that you seek?’

I hesitated
Thought for a while
And in a half life
I said

‘I seek a treasure buried so deep
The world calls it an ancient myth

I seek the rays of the sun
That will bring life to my soul

I seek self knowledge
That is, knowledge of the Self

I seek real love
That is, love of the Real

I seek the universe in a grain
And a grain that’s the universe!’

With a great smile
The man unwrapped his hand
And presented a golden key

Pointing to a mountain
He said to me

‘There is a door up there
It will give you everything you seek’

I replied indignant,

‘Please keep your key
I already told you once
I am naught but a seeker!’

My Love

5f668889fd898bbabed352a6dcf132cd

My eyes swell up in tears when I think of you, my Love
Like leaves covered in drops of dew

My heart jumps up in delight when I think of you, my Love
Like flowers at the first sight of spring

My soul is filled with strength when I think of you, my Love
Like lions protecting their precious cubs

I become nothing when I think of you, my Love
Like moths burned in their love of flames

I become everything when I think of you, my Love
Like the rare souls that find you
Within themselves and without

Fountain of Love

17ebda7eda1fe106455df949f9de323c

In this world of hatred
Storm clouds brew in hearts
The souls of men are starving
Still you give me cause to smile

With you by my side
I know not any fear
I only feel your warmth
Hear your song in my ear

I could spend a lifetime
Staring in your eyes
Lost within your world
I dare not even blink

As you hold my hand in mine
We dance through the streets
Drawing in the people
We give joy to who we meet

Wherever there is love
You’ll find life and hope
One spark starts a fire
Soon the whole world is consumed

My heart is such a heart
Filled with love for you
The world is transformed
Everything grows anew

I have become a fountain
A wellspring of your love
The thirsty come and drink
Souls are nourished once again

The day that love is lost
Is the day that all is gone
Today is not that day
As long as you know love

Your Prison

ec1c87ea2572f97535a03fde9b129091

You’re locked up in a prison
Rotting slowly in a jail
It’s amazing how
You’re the officer
Hands tightly clenching the key

There’s a world beyond yourself
One you won’t believe
There the sky is made of love
Raining down in laughter
Growing meadows that are free
And a brilliant shining sun
Smiling down without its teeth

Dig a tunnel in this world
Leave alone it’s childish games
Making you believe
You can really catch your tail

Don’t run around in circles
Ascend straight to the sky
Don’t carry all your weight
Leave all your baggage behind

Fly in the moment
On the wings of faith and trust
Run away from your dream world
And enter the realm of Truth

Miracles Don’t Exist?

c1360492e749024122eb370f0a745ac0

Golden mountains kiss the flowing sky

Musical flowers sing in scented gardens

Dancing rays pour on the crystal earth

Enchanted air streams through the stirring forest

Peaceful Springs gush from the living ground

Roaming Oceans listen to the splendid moon

And you say,

Miracles don’t exist?

Open your eyes!
