Passions...... Pain & Pleasure

Passions…. pain  &  pleasure

Want to win, control, gain…..

Ego rules,

Passions run high

Reasons are subordinated.

Reasons followed as fear looms

Pain persists.

When her conscious turned to giving,

Passions take different shape.

Creativity and enthusiasm.

Heart sings.

Passionate about her work,

Joy and love flows.

A Bird

How does it matter what reigns?

Winter or spring,

Summer or rains?

Seasons for flowers to blossom or not…

All that matters is

I am in harmony,

And love blooms within.

I have wings or not……

Am I light enough to glide

And silently

Enter your heart?

(OSI Prompt: Humility. Thanks to my friend from Athen,  ρομπερτ)

Evening. Closer to truth.

 As a day slowly turns into an evening,

Brightness, shine and brilliance fade,

Vigor diminishes.

And

Revealed are true colors,

Beauty that cools.

For

Consciousness reveals itself easily

Through a fading form.

Sense of beingness begins to free

From mix up with form.

Soon

Form will dissolve.

Day will be over.

Stillness of night

Is eternal.

Truth.

Expressed again as Dawn.

Abundance

Where is abundance??

I heard a rich man in temple :

“Oh my Lord,

Please bless me with success

To win more contracts,

More riches,

More power,

more….

I will donate 10% of it

As I have been doing.”

And a poor man in his hut :

"Oh God,

Thank you for

For today’s bread,

I could share it

With hungry neighbor."

Bells of the temple rang :

Not Riches outside,

Richness within

Creates abundance.

Mountains

Mountains

One more among the crowd

I carry within,

Died today.

I feel better as I light his pyre.

It has made me lighter.

With each death within,

I am getting lighter & lighter….

I can fly higher & higher.....

Love for him now is genuine.

No wants, no demands.

Just love…for being part of my world,

Love of one being to another.

Looking back I wonder

When did he get into me?

Why did I carry him so long?

Why?

Questions lead me

To a dead end

Beyond which are huge mountains….

I am unable to cross….

With each death within,

I am getting lighter & lighter,

Gravity weaker and weaker…

I can fly higher & higher.....

Will I cross this MOUNTAINS?

……To freedom?
