BUTTERFLY BLUES


The summer wind in perfect


The flowers  are pink and merry


The grey asphalt reflects the warm golden sun


Flapping in joy


Pretty butterflies swarm the  road-ed sky !


Red, fast and reckless


Hurrying away to a  faraway land


The car speeds on !


As the two worlds collide


The butterflies dive  


The  wind shield shatters


As  traces of  colour and death  are left behind


The driver hums a tune


And the music plays on


Tell me Oh Lord


I may wash away the blood and colour!



But can You ever wash away the sin ? 


FLEETING WORLD


Dew drops!


Passing clouds !


Lightning strikes!


In this world is fleeting phenomena


The heretic says!


Just be!


And let it flow ! 

CRUTCHING OPINIONS


Bags loaded, wounds sore !


Dragging along all  the accumulated burden


Tell me dear friend !


How long will  you limp along  with two opinions ?


How long will you keep clinging to ideas


The heretic says!


Throw away your crutches


Flap your wings and fly away


Fly away!



Fly away into the world of non-duality 



STRIKING JUDGEMENT


In one judgement


Heaven becomes hell


In on thought  


A thousand worlds collapse


Attraction and aversion


Are  mere afflictions of the mind


The heretic says!  


Judge not !



Let the lightning strike where it likes 



UNWANTED VISITOR


As an  unwanted visitor you  once came knocking!


When the door was closed and shut


It was I , who foolishly let you in !


Alas now!   You have out stayed your hospitality!


You have burnt down my house of peace


You have poisoned my garden of Love


You have overthrown my free will


Now ! All that is left of me,  is my weary  scalded soul!


Tell me dear Anger!  



Will you stay on  till  my soul burns away ? 



REFLECTION ON THE CHAPEL WALL


Secrets spoken in sunlight




Sparkling beams  



Dancing ripples  



Left over puddles from last evening's rain  



Now Reflecting Hope on the chapel wall



PUDDLING THROUGH


The red sea of a puddle seems far and wide



Aware and happy 



Wet but hopeful 



Pedaling mindfully like Moses  



My tyre splits through the ripples !




PUDDLED DELIGHT


Sudden showers on a summer night 


Puddles filled with street lights 


Leaves sprouting


Hearts glowing 


Happiness and joy


Now rippling in delight!
