The Mirror Of My Soul

Written for Poets United Mid Week Motif
Linking to:  Poetry Pantry #186

The mirror of my soul my moments reflect
Not just of this life but of sojourns in time
Somehow I know but ever warily suspect
But like a nurturing mother she repeats the mime

If only I look and heed her care
For she is the essence of His love
And yet I rebel and ignore and dare
And close my eyes to her and above

Gently she coaxes and shows me the way
Patience epitomised love never wavering
Until at last in my life breaks that day
When I finally understand my soul's labouring

The mirror of my soul my moments reflect
Not just of this life but of sojourns in time
My soul I am blessed, for you I have met
Now the journey with you in this life is sublime

Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation)

Written for:  Poet's United Mid Week Motif  and  Poetry Jam

Mid Week Motif - Newness
In 75 words or less: A New Year.  Again.  Are you a fan of "new"? Or are you tired of the whole idea of "new," preferring the tried and true? 

Poetry Jam - Fire
So what does fire mean to you 

When I first saw the fire prompt, the first thing that came into my head was the sun. I start each day with the Surya Namaskar so combining the two prompts I came up with:


The fiery rays of the sun
Heralds a new day
I bow in reverence
And duly pray

Surya Dev
May we feel your warmth
May your light shine bright
As we go forth

May our minds be illuminated
Like you light up the earth
May our thoughts be enlightened
And to new ideas give birth

Let each day begin
With the Surya Namaskar
Let us reflect your light
Like the moon and the stars.

~x~

Surya Dev (Sun God)

New Year Resolutions
I left a long time ago
Never comes to fruition
So now I go with the flow

The Universe has
A plan of its own
Erases mine enmasse
Plants its, firm like a throne

Its amazing plan
I've learned to trust
Sometimes hard to understand 
But always robust

Eventually I find 
They're grand and exciting
Better than mine
And always uplifting

New Year Resolutions
I left a long time ago
Never comes to fruition
So now I go with the flow

~x~
