i used to be very opinionated
now i try to listen without reacting
i used to have an aggressive voice
now I try and speak without poison
my mind has changed direction
instead of ruffled feathers
i try to find a common ground
where there used to be conflict
the change has been ongoing
the reason for it meditation
calmness found in silence
the oneness found in allness
under construction
work in progress…
Poem ‘Allness’ read by the author.
communal kitchen double sink
group prayers peace maker
late nights get one to think
since they got to share an acre
who wants to be alone
gets referral from the gp
padded room of their own
surroundings a little creepy
make no judgement on the go
there is rarely one to blame
for a sold out magic show
brought the trickster fame
Poem ‘Community’ read by the author.
so you say you don’t care
the answer I hear a lot
what about your sanity
when I lose the plot
you say you don’t care
then ask me what’s the matter
when I throw a tantrum
plates and glass then shatter
when I ask you questions
you said it many times
our persistent beliefs
are like stingy crimes
then open your mind
into the world of caring
let’s live happily ever after
minds and hearts sharing
now wait no longer for the day
that brings us that much pleasure
give a damn or give a f-ck
just pick one at your leisure
mediocre life
from job to bed
selling your soul
raise the bar
load a camel
cross a desert
refuge in an oasis
who needs a car
fragrant spices
lamps and oils
awaiting at an
exotic bazaar
coins and trinkets
for a rainy day
collected and stored
in a glass jar
find your guru
under the bodhi tree
who do you think
you are
search on google
still not sure
sit in meditation
go beyond far
a chair or a bed
get inside your head
undergo an operation
without any scar
kundalini rising
if you have no clue
do your research
it’s rather bizarre
convincing as real
conscious energy
is what we are
god and a superstar
