3. Meditation

Renouncing all attachments, pinned to things
Like ivy tendrils cling to prison wall,
We bend the ear to hear a clarion call
"Rest in the flame of Self our Phoenix sings!"

"This is your natural state" the brass bell rings!
"Dive deep in Consciousness of Real Being
To become the Light of effortless seeing
That I Am That I Am!" The bird sprouts wings

To inwardly soar and safely nest in Heart,
Released from snares, the properties of sense.
Unveil now our Natural Godlike part
Within, and like that Light rest in blissful ease.

So regain the 'One’ illumined, from whence
We strayed, and now return in perfect peace.

2. (Cont'd) Beauty

White marble of the Taj Mahal
Reflects the reddening dawn
Her domes and towers warmly
Greet an Indian Eastern morn.
So beautiful!

How idly we use this precious word
Born from Mother Goddess Aphrodite
Feminine wisdom, power almighty.
But some regard her as social duty
To acclaim the Arts
In fits and starts.

She truly is a gateway to the divine
Inside and out. ever sublime.
So we say yea to ‘what is’ revealed
In knowing this beauty all souls are healed.
