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

In A Time Gone By

Written for: Real Toads and  Blogadda WoW

Linking to:  Poetry Pantry #182

Real Toads prompt

What would it be like if we were stuck in (or have regressed to) the past? Write from the perspective of yourself or another person (real or imagined) who can’t seem to live in the present or look forward; someone who dwells in a supposedly more magnificent or rewarding past time, and behaves accordingly.

Blogadda WoW prompt
Your entry must contain a word in all its three degrees of comparison. For example: Good, Better, Best! or Great, Greater, Greatest!

He looked magnificent

Lean and tall

Upon his chariot

I watched in awe

His bow and his arrows

He carried with grace

Strength of a warrior

But gentle of face

He seemed so familiar

Yet I knew him not

Who was this stranger?

With eyes tender and soft

Graceful and ethereal

He looked so Divine

Joyous he made me feel

Somehow I knew he was mine

Did he know that I watched him?

For suddenly he smiled

My senses he made them swim

As his eyes beheld mine

My garland of flowers 

Upon his neck looked so grand

His heart he empowered

Into my trembling hands

In a time long gone 

Was this love sweet and pure

A match made in Heaven

Through aeons it endures

Let me stay in that moment 

When his eyes beheld mine

And true love was unspoken

And hearts were entwined

For great is He, my love story
Greater than any in time
The greatest ever in glory
And supremely sublime

My take on Sita's view of Lord Rama

(And don't forget to read Lord Rama's view of Sita at She Looked Most Beautiful)

The heart of gold you gave to me

A symbol from the blue

An angel handed it to me

In a dream I lived with you

Your soul you merged with mine through that

A message of your love

My body bathed in your enchanting glow

And peaceful like a dove

The heart of gold you gave to me

A symbol of our love

My heart is joined with yours you said

In an everlasting bond

~x~

This poem is based on an event that took place during one of my meditations recently. Feeling blessed.
