Not Funny!


Not  funny!

He said no, she accepted,
He was not cooperative, she was patient
He threw tantrums, she kept quiet
He lied, she understood
He ignored, she tolerated
He criticized, she remained positive.

When he turned sarcastic:
Witty though it seemed
It pierced deep,
Hurting CHILD in her.

Reacting sharply,
She exited the scene.

Passions...... Pain & Pleasure


Passions…. pain  &  pleasure

Want to win, control, gain…..
Ego rules,
Passions run high
Reasons are subordinated.
Reasons followed as fear looms
Pain persists.


When her conscious turned to giving,
Passions take different shape.
Creativity and enthusiasm.
Heart sings.
Passionate about her work,
Joy and love flows.

A Mom.


To many she may appear to be
Burning out…..







She is just fulfilling
Her need within,
To love.

Her Family.

A Bird


How does it matter what reigns?
Winter or spring,
Summer or rains?

Seasons for flowers to blossom or not…
All that matters is
I am in harmony,
And love blooms within.

I have wings or not……
Am I light enough to glide
And silently
Enter your heart?

(OSI Prompt: Humility. Thanks to my friend from Athen,  ρομπερτ)

Evening. Closer to truth.



 As a day slowly turns into an evening,
Brightness, shine and brilliance fade,
Vigor diminishes.

And
Revealed are true colors,
Beauty that cools.




For
Consciousness reveals itself easily
Through a fading form.
Sense of beingness begins to free
From mix up with form.


Soon
Form will dissolve.
Day will be over.





Stillness of night
Is eternal.
Truth.
Expressed again as Dawn.

Abundance

Where is abundance??

I heard a rich man in temple :
“Oh my Lord,
Please bless me with success
To win more contracts,
More riches,
More power,
more….
I will donate 10% of it
As I have been doing.”

And a poor man in his hut :
"Oh God,
Thank you for
For today’s bread,
I could share it
With hungry neighbor."

Bells of the temple rang :
Not Riches outside,
Richness within
Creates abundance.
