As A Child Remembering Sept. 26, 2014   As a child remembering the snow-drift skies In the silence and serenity of night, The crystal window dazzling to the eyes And all his morning world bedecked in white. Older now the seasons take their toll But the child within the man remains And waits upon the Spring within his soul Honours the hours, bears the body's pains. For joy was born in consecrated birth And life in all its rushing beauty came

Return in Calm April 4 2014 From a distance I retain The memory of fragrant days Tormented not by fires that burn Within the depths, a resting phase While sleep attends my journey home To a place known in the silent heart Where flowers sweetly whisper, "Come And set the mind at ease, apart From mortal cares." The Ashram's peace Dwells constantly within me now And all these worldly troubles cease Within my calm untroubled brow.

If She Cast Her Glance Upon Me April 22, 2014 When I approach the hour of my death I will not rail against the gods nor shout But draw in joy the full and final breath And never let the flame of love burn out. I will quietly ascend to realms of peace Knowing time is timeless and the years Of the wondrous inner journey will not cease. For I shall live again and love though tears Attend me as I tread the upward way. A hundred lifetimes nothing if She cast Once more her glance upon me as I pray And rest my head upon Her feet at last.

No Waylost Years Dec. 28, 2014   Singing through the solar stillness I heard the eternal sound It was a stellar melody Achingly profound. It seemed a flute of ecstasy Circling round my soul, Sweetly from eternity Its life-enhancing call. At times I seemed to hear the OM Creator of worlds and more, A voice sang sweetly, "Come, O come And touched me as never before. On earth we bear relentless noise

-05_On Neruda^s Love Poems.htm On Neruda's Love Poems April 9, 2014 Reading Neruda's love poems this I feel, The woman that he loves is some divine Eternal feminine, a maker of worlds, Executrix of One who stands behind. His words, both intimate and sensual Soar beyond this life of lust and need And even Nature from his mighty pen Apotheosized and beauty is her face. Sadness and longing his expressions too Of dreams that lie in us awaiting still The moment when the soul steps forth and sings. All life is prelude to our awakenings.

On the Road to God April 17, 2014 Waiting in the morning to awake, The dreaming night persistent in the mind A thirst of soul these visions cannot slake. The seeing heart alone must pathway find As day must bridge the chasms of the heart The impenetrable mystery fill with light. And yet these co-joined twins live not apart, Together face the demons we must fight For of soul's constitution they are one. Now the dawn and evening put to rest And from entangled dark the brilliant sun Renewed hope brings to the spirit's inner quest. The challenge we must face is new-begun And though the outer life impose its will An inter

Reading Savitri by Candlelight August 24, 2014   Reading Savitri by candlelight I chanced upon a line that lifted me Beyond myself and then my soul took flight And reached the borders of infinity. I saw the stars harmonious and bright Blazing with the radiance of love, Striking out all darkness till the night Was filled with beauty and from those worlds above I dove into my body without pain And saw the earth anew, inhaled her air Grateful to touch the scented soil again Upon this spinning globe so blue, so fair. From consciousness to consciousness arise, Ye children of the dawn with diamond e

Kennedy   Where were you when Kennedy was slain And all the world in bitter sorrow wept. Could hope in human hearts live again When peace and truth in all the nations slept. His faults we knew, his trysts in open view, The failures of his presidency shown To those wished no change nor all the new Ideas among the young that he had sown. My mother waited for the local train Arriving in a soft and sleepy town I saw her face contort in searing pain; 'He's dead' she cried 'and we are left alone.' I knew that from the earth a light had gone A world that through him found the upward way, Prepared for all the battles to be w

The One in All April 16. 2014 All this life is marvellous and pain No more nor less than pleasure one might say, For all assumes its place when what we gain Is inner growth in stations on the way. Loss is terrible to contemplate, We are consigned to it, our human tale, And yet it's joy towards which we gravitate And love our foundation stone although we fail And fall at times and time and again must rise And bear the conflagrations of our past, For that which burns us also purifies And that which seems ephemeral shall last Beyond the setting of ten thousand suns. Self-pity is the most piteous state, Fo

The Terror Faction November 9, 2014 Darkness' forces in the world prevail And men to violence their souls align To Falsehood knowing not that they will fail. Of immanent defeat we see no sign, Embracing evil they rush to fill their role To counter the Truth now rising from the earth. When will we meet each other soul to soul Acknowledge the truth that all are blessed from birth. These enmities we hold from ages past Symbols of a deeply twisted will To subjugate the brother-foe at last And gloating hatred's eager coffers fill. No end can yet be seen of human hate. The eternal doors have opened to a few And all the gods and angels on us wait, T
