I am doing this for you,

and for those who never made it,

those who fell by the wayside,

and those who simply gave up.

I am doing this for you,

so I can hold your hand

and be a bigger vessel,

to hold the pain and tears.

I am doing this for you,

to be the one gone forth,

because by doing it for you,

I am doing it for myself too.

It’s been ten years long,

since you passed away,

and then you decided,

you’d come to stay.

I was shocked,

when I saw you;

you know,

I adore you.

You never announced,

you’d arrive today,

you bounced straight in,

in your usual way,

announced to me,

you’d come to stay,

gave me a start,

unpacked your bags

and moved into my heart.

Our minds are music,

electric pulses and beats,

with the cadence of waves,

or the wind through the leaves.

Ephemeral thoughts,

glittering morning frost,

the more they glister,

the sooner they’re lost.

When hit by an arrow from Cupid,

you act extraordinarily stupid,

You lose your spine,

and lose your mind,

and the world you see isn’t lucid!

sun is dawning

and a new day forming

I see the brightness in the sky

let me hope this morning glory

swiftly brings me to my lover’s side

Alice

One of my favourites 🙂

Worldly Winds

Don’t cry, said Alice,

it’s all a game,

life and death,

it’s all the same.

Don’t be fooled,

it’s all illusion,

don’t believe,

your own delusion.

Look in the mirror,

what do you see?

a collection of habits,

that I call, ‘Me’.

Step through the mirror,

beyond the girl,

and look into,

another world.

Experience,

is one third true,

but only for,

the reflected you.

So don’t believe,

all that you feel,

the crux of life –

nothing is real.

So, White Rabbit,

I would say,

there is no point,

to run away…

and Hatter, dear,

we’re all quite mad,

pour the tea,

and don’t be sad.

A love like ours

could have illuminated

eternal night skies.

Instead our tears

light up the firmament

and the stars burn our souls.

When you left,

you took us all with you,

the old, the young,

the Saints and the Sinners.

A gaping chasm,

left in your wake.

Three decades of grief,

the tides of loss,

your fall from grace,

as you plummeted us all,

into oblivion.

Yet – you shine brighter,

and more fierce,

than any star,

I’ve ever seen.

Meditation

In a grove, a daisy grows,

against all odds, between the crags,

in harshest winds, its body bends,

and in sun’s rays, its beauty plays.

Just like this, our heart should kiss,

sublime compassion, on the cushion,

let our mind dance with divine

integration through meditation.

Oh dear what can the matter be?

I let go of an old self view today,

It was there so long, it became just a habit to me,

I didn’t even know it was there.

First I kicked off my slippers, and took off my cardigan,

Removed my glasses, and put it on top of them,

Started to dance to the sound of five rhythms,

It felt like I floated on air!
