Awaken The Soul



Profuse riches and worthy treasure,
Possessions in plenty all you gather.
You build your forts here-to-fore,
Bountiful colours of fake, you adore.
None of these with you will remain,
Bare woodlands will be your domain.

Oh my heart, why indulge in sleep,
The journey to divine is yet so deep.
Seek nothing now, but the Source,
That is the remedy, the Only force.
Like clouds, survival passes away,
Awaken the soul, travel Enlightened way.

Oh beloved, death lingers over your head,
Will suffer many cycles, if in this you forget.
Love for Divine is the light of essence,
Without it is an ocean of darkness.
Set free from illusion, surrender in Love,
Be one in Him and rise above!

Beauty All Around He Spreads For Me




In His heavenly canvas with love only,
Created the world when He felt lonely.
Acts so artistic when He composes a life,
In a lump of clay He pours in His light.
Sprinkles love to mould in the mixture,
Till he crafts it in His own picture.
He is the Lord of utmost glory,
Beauty all around He spreads for me!

Lit the sun and fixed it in sky,
Tossed the stars up in the high.
The love Sun holds for the Moon,
Tenderly brings it out from gloom.
Sun offers its flaming golden caress,
To make the moon glow in the darkness.
All work of nature embraces love for me,
Beauty all around He spreads for me!

Glosses of paint He sprays in the garden,
Gives them life, dresses them to be flowers.
Fanciful blossoms display their colours,
Invite the bees to be their lovers.
Deep in love, honeybee kisses the petals,
In the fond of nectar, lovingly it settles.
With all this love, He brings me honey,
Beauty all around He spreads for me!
