Verse

 

I live to tell another tale

Of the love of blossoms

Marigolds, Hybrid teas, Tulips and Dandelions.

I live to take another breath

Of rapture in the rising sun

Lost in the flood of His golden warmth

Flicking away the shadows of the night.

I live to smile another smile

At a toddler's energy, a teen's anarchy

And a planet taking refuge in fear

Masking its face in the faceless threat!

I live to shed another tear

Of emotions that hover over the empath's head

Sensing the pain in a distant strain

Of a song strumming on the ukulele

Strung with choice fibers of the heart!

I live to let the insides beat

In response to all things made of love

I live to make the soul dream

Of a release from this mind's stream..

I live to dance to the DJ's tunes

Tapping my feet, swaying my head

Grooving to the full throated croons

Of myhnas in the distant monsoons.

I live to watch ladybugs and dragon flies

Having field days in the backyard 

I live to crush figs with my incisors

Devouring the bounty of the Being.

I live to grin ear to ear

At the Divine design, at the Aha Moments

I live to mess , I live to fuss

On this stage of make belive

Flowing with the illusion.

I live to learn, I live to know

To grasp what Is and the thoughts Let go..

I live to scribble another verse

I live to count the years in reverse!

How long did I live? I stand still and muse -

Let me count the ways to amuse

My inner child, the eternal being

Living yet another year, in absolute knowing

That she knows not beyond spreading her light!

Giving her love and basking in that delight.
