Freedom

My soul is trapped or so it seems

In a body where restriction teems

It feels like it is disconnected

Torn, tattered and fragmented

I must find a way to free my soul

From the clutches of life's control

Stitch it up and keep it together

Yet break free from unyielding tether

In quiet solitude I sit still

But noises around me seem so shrill

Turbulent thoughts shake my resolve

I quietly pray so they may dissolve

Slowly chatter around me fades

Through the mire my mind it wades

Something lifts and oh it lightens

A serene connection to Spirit heightens

I am floating like a feather

Earth and Heaven come together

The scattered fragments slowly bind

Enlightened is the feeble mind

Body and soul merge like one

The mind no longer on the run

Seems I've suddenly found the key

To set my restless spirit free

Freedom freedom cries my soul

Life is beautiful, and I am whole.

Meditation is freedom!

Truth about life

image from http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/

Life is a journey

That is the truth

Feels like a tourney

But no one can lose

Life is an illusion

That is the truth

A temporary vision

Like passing youth

Life is a lesson

That is the truth

Each soul's mission

A path to smooth

Life is a moment 

In time and space

A way we have chosen

And blessed by His grace

A Place in the Universe

image source google images

A benevolent Universe

Lights my path

Sending me messages

in a myriad of ways

Helping me traverse

through this lifetime

as in lifetimes before

My immortal lover

Holding me 

in an eternal embrace

Leading me 

In a cosmic dance 

Comforting me

Protecting me

From the beyond

My Spiritual guide

Taking my soul 

On a journey 

Through space and time

Helping me 

to liberate myself

From the effects of Karma

 to attain Moksha

My place in the Universe

Is with my Divine Soulmate

In His heart

By His side

Helping humanity

Together

From age to age

To eternity

Moksha - liberation from samsara, the cycle of death and rebirth

Quiet Conversations

How strange that I posted a 100 word poem on my blog Someday Somewhere just yesterday. And it fits today's prompt at Verse First .

Your task for this week's Verse First is to write succinctly and boldly about a personal experience. As you do so, rest assured that your readers will share some common ground. Be aware that the writing heals you and the reading heals others.  The only rule: No more than 100 words. Succinct. Bold. GO!

So I share it again ...

Each morning I waited as I stood in line.

I loved those moments when his eyes met mine.

No words needed just the beat of hearts.

His time on earth was over, so he left for his home in the sky.

Now I lie alone in the darkness and as I listen to the sounds of silence, I close my eyes.

No words needed just connections through thin veils.

And then I pray to the Heavens with devotion and faith.

And in my dreams He comes to me to comfort and love.

No words needed just the fusion of souls.

Garden of Dreams

image by Evgeni Dinev http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/

A beautiful meadow surrounded by hills

A waterfall gentle and grand

A place in nature where I connect with Spirit

Where the answers I seek are found 

A place for poor children, safe and fun

Making their wishes come true

Down by the seaside surrounded with palm trees

Watching the ocean blue

This is the path that my soul wants to tread on

This is the way to my bliss

I sit in quiet meditation in my garden of dreams

Walking the road that is His

~x~
