When I Befriended The Sun

                When I Befriended The Sun

                        

When I befriended the Sun I felt its Infinite Power To see the morning Sun Brings hope cheer and faith The reddish , Orange and Yellow hues A feast to my eyes A warmth on my skin It stirs my Soul   When I befriended the Sun I felt its Infinite Power To see it rising high Spreading the radiance On the wide blue sky Oh! What magnificence Graciously Warm and Bright Oh! What a radiance   When I befriended the Sun I felt its Infinite Power Of Golden Yellow at Noon Bright on the sky torrid and vertical The Swollen white  achingly bright Still hot and gorgeous Fierce and Radiant Oh! What a Power   When I befriended the Sun I felt its Infinite Power Pacing down in the late afternoon Of radiant yellow Still high and unclouded More intense, fiery and glaringly hot Yet Splendid and Invincible Oh! What Resplendence   When I befriended the Sun I felt its Infinite Power Ready to settle down Amorous and crimson Sensuous, Mystic and Potent Still luminous and ethereal Retaining the aura Stealing my heart Oh! What Liminal Mystery   When I befriended the Sun I felt its Infinite Power It gives me the strength to illumine A longing to see it everyday Surges in me daily When I miss to visit it It greets me with its rays Peeping through the window   The sun is indeed Powerful Do, Spend some time in the sun When I befriended the Sun I felt its Infinite Power With its Spiritual and Prophetic aura

The cats came I served

The dogs came I served

The Peacocks came I served The Squirrels came I served

The ants came I served Different breeds of birds came I served

But when the pigs came I drove them away For they looked dirty All rolled in mud

They  looked very filthy I shooed them away I felt disgusting To see their filthy body

Some food for the peacock I had left them on the altar The pig were nibbling them Voraciously at the backyard Eating in all their glee

On seeing me they fled I could sense the fear All their glee was gone Did I serve them right?

Those preening eyes spoke millions Did I look so dreadful For pigs to see on fleeing me They needed but a morsel of food

Hunger it belongs to all creatures equally I could feel their eyes speak I could sense life in them It was then I saw the divinity in them

Now they come and feed And I don’t shoo them away I keep  Something for them to come and nibble For I now see Divinity in every soul

Purity in Intention Matters

Purity in Intention Matters       

It was the Morning time I was busy working A call came The mood changed
	The mood changed The thoughts waved The negativity thrived The purity of  intent waved
The purity of intent waved The negativity thrived Took the hand towel And lo! A scorpion bit
	Lo ! a scorpion bit Realization dawned Negativity pricks Purity of intention matter
The work was  against me  The intent to pull me down I forgave, I  moved on Could see  the doer’s downfall
	Could see  the doer’s downfall Realization dawned Though it was not the intent I really saw it happen
Purity of intention matter Let it be on  your platter Is part of spiritual journey Beyond the earthly
	Purity in intention matter For the state of inner cleanliness It Make things ethical Makes things uplifting
Purity in intention matter Attachments to objects is ignorance Attachment to truth Delivers it.
	Purity in intention matter Stick to what you do Bother not the result Keep doing what you do
Purity in intention matter Not to find fault But to do What is right
	Purity in intention matter Connect to the voice within It disciplines all impurities Leads to path of pure deed
Purity in intention matter Let it not scatter Let’s hand something to others Let be on a silver platter
