Reflections

Reflections

The twilight reflects
The night to become
As people slumber
Awaken
Minds controlled
By the shadows within
While outside
There is light
Their false security takes over
And they do not see
But reflections of a life
That is not
But should be
For real freedom comes
Not from sleep
But from understanding
That shadows and reflections
Are just limits
To be crossed
In the search
For the true me

Not Alone

Not Alone

The night air
Gives wings to thoughts
Each step
Is lighter
More focussed
As the goal sharpens
Making it easy to see
Not only the shining lights and stars
The times and the time
When I carried alone
The meanings, sufferings and victories
Of a life
Now shared
With one who can see
Who I am
Traveling with me
Beyond and above

Night Shine

Night Shine

Good night
Say I
It is time to go
Dream another dream
Finding the way
To another day
Coming after
The shining stars
Brilliant in the night
Shining the signs
That you find in your sleep
Composed like a song
From the tunes
Of the daily lights

Smiles in the Rain

Smiles in the Rain

It winds
It rains
The autumn days have arived
Like before
And like the after
A new morning is here
Bringing smiles
Driving away tears
Washed away
Like drops from the sky
Taken far above by smiles
Bridging the pure soul
To the center of light

First Arrival

First Arrival

Before you were here
How could I know
The universal significance
Creation's arrival
The difference it makes
The power it takes
To change and evolve
From darkness to light
The key to understand
The true question
But not the answer
To the meaning of life

Time and Beyond

Time and Beyond

Beyond time
Time exists not
Motions freeze
Freezing itself
Has come to a stop
How can changes change
When time it self is not
If time is not
Can I see when time
Is yet to become
Yet to be?

Say the Word

Say the Word

Say the word
And it shall be done
Say the word
And the seas will depart
From the sandy shores
To the ones with golden hearts
Say the word
And peace will be found
For those who
Not knowing
And maybe unwillingly
Deserve it the most
Say the word
Say it but once
It will be enough
To keep life alive
For the future to come
