The Mirror Of My Soul

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~

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
