There Was A Time

There was a time
When I loved you,
O my thought-world.
But now I love
The beauty of a silence-mind
And
The purity of a gratitude-heart.

Everything That Is

Everything that is
Is a golden opportunity to realise God.
Therefore, do not withdraw
From the battlefield of life.

O fault-finder,
I have all along been with you.
Now I definitely want to switch sides.
I want to spend the rest of my life
With the fault-mender.

To Be Truly Happy

To be truly happy
You must do two things:
You must overlook
The imperfection-evenings of others ;
You must look over
Your own imperfection-nights.

The ecstasy of aspiration-flames.

Yesterday my mind treasured
The fantasy of desire-fire.
Today my heart is treasuring
The ecstasy of aspiration-flames.
