Who Are We (Part 2)

Mother Mary viewed the room with a discerning eye,
'Not good enough, I'm afraid!' she said with a sigh.
'But...but!' Mary Magdalene stammered,
'I've cleaned every corner and inside every cupboard!'
'I know dear,' Mother Mary said with a smile,
'I know you've been at it for a while!
But remember who is coming to dine,
I want everything to sparkle and shine.'

At last came the awaited night,
T'was one must admit a glorious sight!
Heavens themselves rejoiced at the event,
Every little star to witness was sent.
The stars twinkled merrily,
Greeting the clouds as they floated by gently.
The sun did try to peep, albeit unsuccessfully.
The silvery moon appeared nearby,
Graceful as she flitted by.
The sky glimmered and shimmered ,
As the world waited with bated breath to see,
The spectacular event that was about to be.

First came Lord Buddha in his saffron robe,
Legs folded in a Lotus pose,
Meditating with his eyes closed.
A golden halo round his head,
A trail of peace and light it shed.

Allah and Mohammed the Prophet came next,
Bobbing up and down in their moonlike crest.
The Prophet surveyed all around, his eyes piercing,
Healing, soothing while conveying Allah's blessing.

Shiva and Shakti together followed soon,
One half was the sun, the other half, the moon!
Fused together in perfect balance,
The world looked at Shiv-Shakti in awed silence.

Mother Earth sat beside dressed in finery,
Bedecked with flowers and full of greenery;
Clad in earthly colours, a symbol of abundance,
Lush and fertile, you could smell her perfumed fragrance.

Lord Krishna stood tall holding the reins,
As the chariot raced through the heavenly lanes.
His body gleamed blue in the moonlight,
Shining, dazzling, blinding bright.

The Universe was lit with a blazing light,
Changing hues of yellow and white.
Heaven and earth their joy did share,
A hum of harmonious notes filled the air.
A sigh of satisfaction rose with resonance,
Expressing gratitude and great reverence.

The Divine Group sat around the fire,
Handshakes,smiles and greeting one another.
'We're glad we've convened this historic meeting,
Mankind as you know needs some tender assisting;
Let us give and give as much as we can,
For every child,woman and man.' Thus spoke the Prophet, conveying Allah's thoughts,
A nod of approval from all it brought.

'A book bank we can put up and preserve,
Our combined teachings for those that deserve.
A cosmic treasury  will be created indeed,
For each one to access when in need.'quoth Jesus.

'Man has within his field,
Qualities he needs with life to deal.
Love, compassion, strength and unity,
Peace, free will, devotion and integrity.
He has a wide choice from which to choose,
For himself and others he can freely use,'said Shiv-Shakti in unison,
Thereby avoiding any form of confusion.

'Sensitivity should be added to this,
To every rustle, whisper, twitter and hiss.
Nature which surrounds and shares abundantly,
Should be revered and preserved lovingly,' quoth Mother Earth.

'I think that grief should also be included,
Loneliness,sorrow and of being isolated;
In the depths of his heart when he feels pain,
Deep understanding of the self he will gain,' quoth Buddha.

Lord Krishna listened to the lengthy discussion,
In the end, he came to the following conclusion:
Lord Krishna summed it up thus,
Imparting the eternal truth to us:

"Dark and Light are part of the whole,
Both in life play a special role.
When the dark draws near,
In man it inspires survival of the self, ego and fear
Of losing things and those that are dear.
When the 'ego' is released from the core,
He'll know there's freedom, there's love
When you detach and let go.
He'll realise all thoughts of separation
Was a man-made creation; a mere illusion.

In delving deeper and deeper in him,
He will draw closer to the source within.
Then the 'oneness with the Divine' will dawn,
Present in him since the day he was born.
Thus he will discover the essence of life; its true meaning.
He is now and always a divine, spiritual being.

Who Am I (Part 1)

"Who am I?" I sometimes wonder...
A question on which I deeply ponder...
Me, myself and I...
Difficult to understand but I must try...

Energy I am,circling and free,
Swirling,surging in waves like the sea;
Magnetic and bringing connectivity,
Between each and every 'chakra' in me.
                                           Energy I Am.

I can see, I can see,
Something moving inside of me;
Integrating, fusing, rejuvenating,
Masculine and feminine energies awakening;
The scales stand in perfect line,
When the' Yin' and 'Yang' merge like twins entwined.
                                            Balance I Am.

Connected to me, to you, to earth,
Connected to all beings at birth;
Connected to flowers and to the trees
To creatures, insects, birds and bees
To planets, stars and the sky so vast
To oceans, streams and rivers flowing past.
                                           Connected To All I Am.

To many Higher Selves I am linked,
To spirits, guides and angels I think;
To people who are just like me,
It is me, you, us and we;
To higher masters, consciousness and beings spiritual
Aha! I know! I am multidimensional!
                                           Linked To Higher Selves I Am.

There is a feeling that I can feel,
That draws me in when the layers are peeled;
Sympathy, empathy towards those in pain
Compassion flows in my blood, my veins;
With wonder I watch as it flows,
In me it seems to grow and grow.
                                        Compassion I Am.

My heart overflows with an overpowering emotion
There is beauty and power set in motion;
Beyond boundaries, beyond walls,
It encompasses one, it encompasses all;
It flows smoothly within the self,
In myself, yourself and all our selves;
I know! I know what it is!
Eternal, unconditional love is this!
Peaceful, soothing, gently it rolls,
Touching every heart and every soul.
                                       Love I Am.

Wait a minute, what do I sight?
In me a light, shining bright;
Illuminating, glowing and rising high,
Through my crown and to the skies;
To the ultimate source, to all that is,
Divine, sublime and pure bliss,
I am in Him and He in me,
Within me divinity, I can clearly see.
I am blessed, I am blessed,
I am glad, I went on this quest-
"Who am I? Who am I?"
I'll get to know more by and by,
                                Divine I Am.

The Lord's Prayer

Let me awaken to thy light
Radiant,brilliant,shining bright
Spreading over the universe vast
Each of us of which is a part
Thy light from the divine source
Guiding us through life and its winding course.
                                                          Oh Lord.

Like a child that frolicks and plays
Let me seek you and walk the pathway
Like a child that is open with nothing to hide
Let my heart be trusting,my arms open wide
Like a child that is full of love
Let me walk towards you above.
                                                        Oh Lord.

Into my heart I look and see
There is a child inside of me


Like a dove that is peaceful and tender
Let me in peace towards thee wander
Like a dove that is caged singly
Let me be tied and bound to thee
Like a dove wild and free
Let me fly high unto thee
Like a dove,the holy spirit that is
Let me be aligned to thy light in bliss
                                                    Oh Lord.

Into my heart I look and see
There is the dove, the holy spirit in me.


Let my eyes lift unto you
Let me let the divine light through
Let me inhale the light and breathe
Receive, absorb and fuse into me
Till my being is filled with love and light
Every cell reflecting and glowing bright.
                                                  Oh Lord.

Into my heart I look and see
There is the light, the divine source in me.

The child in me
The holy spirit in me
The light in me
The divine holy trinity in me.
                                                Oh Lord.

Pool Of Love


Love soaks itself
In all life's encounters
In every word                       
In every hug                        
In every thought                  
You spare for others.          

Love is believing
In life's magic and miracles
Whatever be your state of mind
Peace within,it will help you find.


Love is the feeling
When you turn towards the light,
When you follow the well-lit path
Without letting it out of sight.


Love resides
In the tongues of those not afraid to express it aloud,
With hugs and kisses,
And smiles that dart
Enough to warm the cockles of your heart.

Love is caring
For the world around you,
For the bird that sings on an unfelled tree
For the fish that swims in the unpolluted seas.


Love is not just a four letter word;
Love is to be free
As free as a bird
Free in giving, free in receiving
Free to open your heart,
In letting go and forgiving.

Love is when you give
With the fullness of your heart;
The more you receive, when with more you part.

Love is like an ocean,
Endless and vast;
You can help yourself to it and share,
Yet forever it lasts.

Love is when with peace you are filled,
The seeds of which can be sown at will;
With kindness, tolerance and unity among men,
No war, no destruction,
No bloodshed again.


Love lies
In the eyes of a child,
Innocent, trusting, with arms open wide;
In the arms of a mother,
Who gathers with gentleness
In the blessings of the Lord,
Showered with tenderness


Love lingers when you remember
A kind word, a fleeting gesture
Shared feelings, time spent together
That which cannot be erased
That which remains forever.

Love is the closeness
You feel with someone
The feeling remains long after
they are gone;
You feel grateful they were in your life for a while,
Grateful you have precious memories
by your side.

Love fills you up
When you walk towards home holding God's hand..
Knowing that if you wilt,
With his palm, you he will lift.

Love you find
When slowly you awaken
To feel a gentle hand
Steering you along
Towards the light and source
where you belong.




The Garden of Eden


In the heavenly garden of Eden,
Beautiful and vast in size,
Mr Love and Miss Compassion stood,
Gazing deeply into each other's eyes;
They were to be married soon,
The courting period was bliss-- a boon.
From their hearts love overflowed,
Though filled to the brim, they could still contain more!

Mr Peace and Miss Harmony strolled by,
She in a silken gown, he in a bow tie;
One with their surroundings, one with each other,
They walked hand in hand- in perfect step with one another.

Mr Happy and Miss Joy sat in a tree,
Chomping juicy mangoes and watching the bees;
When their gaze fell on the lovers
Whom they could clearly see,
They clapped their hands and couldn't contain their glee!

Miss Faith, Miss Healing and Miss Unity,
Sat discussing the sea of humanity.
"I believe in the essential goodness of man!"said Faith.
It was a statement oft repeated to her mates.

"If goodness in one could connect to goodness in another and another
and another,
This great wave of universal goodness could be pooled and shared
together!"said Unity;
A wish she hoped would turn to reality

"It can be done! Never fear...
My soothing balm will dry every tear;
Every hurting wound will lessen,
Every painful thought will soften!" said Healing with great fervour and feeling!

Grandpa Wisdom listened intently,
A frown knit his brow, he nodded sagely;
"Man has to deal with other emotions as well,
Negative and strong in his heart they dwell.
'Anger' invades man and all else is pushed aside,
'Rage' follows soon enough and sits by his side.

In the heart where 'Jealousy' is harboured,
'Envy and 'Spite'are also favoured.
'Intolerance' creeps in and and makes his way
Positive emotions are held at bay!

To you Love, Compassion, Peace, Harmony,
Happiness, Joy,  Faith, Healing and Unity,
All I can say is this--
Be around for man
Or 'you' he will miss.
Temptation is there lying in wait
To lure man away by throwing his bait!

Man may stray or be in doubt,
Turn away or seek you out.
Like a shepherd who guides his wandering sheep
Help man climb the mountain steep
Till he sees the blinding light--a wondrous  and glorious sight!
Guide him to his abode, his cosy nest
Where he can lie down in peace and forever rest."

We Are One



From where do we come?
From....
The same dust
The same light
The same source.
We Are One.

We open our eyes to Mother Earth and the sun...
As a new born infant
From outside of a mother's womb
As an independent entity.
We Are One.

As a child,we play,we laugh,we have fun...
Shining with innocence
loving with abandon
expressing without hiding.
We Are One.

In our journey through life, by emotions we are overcome
The zenith of joy and happiness
The depths of sorrow and disappointments
The laughter, the tears
The love, the fears.
We Are One.

The differences outside come undone...
When we see the same blood coursing through our veins
When we hear the regular beat of our hearts
When we  trace the same breath, the same cycle of birth and death.
We Are One.

Surrounded by nature whose beauty can be matched by none...
We gaze in wonder at the same sky
Wish upon the same stars
Partake of the same light from the moon and the sun,
We Are One

In the quest to satisfy our needs and desires,a race we run...
Unknowingly towards the same destination
Using different paths
Towards our almighty creator.
We Are One

In the eyes of the Lord who does not shun...
Who allows us to make mistakes
Who watches us stray
Who gently embraces us back to his fold...
We Are One
