5th dec'09

Alone with myself, another age has passed,
The burden of time weighs heavy
on these shoulders,
Mundane routines of, daily trivialities
would lull this woman
into plain indifference
but deep inside where all
is aflame, nothing is missed
all are mere stages toward
the greater goal,
How is this jaded mind to
grasp the wisdom of the clouds,
to flow with the breeze of life
and rest assured in cosmic wisdom
Oh life, oh love spare me not
your dream child,
Lead me ever gentle,
to the bosom of the cosmic mother
for even if my mind forgets
the heart remembers, distant
dreams of previous journeys
Open my eyes to the signs
that I may continue my travels,
my journey, my growth
into the sacred grove of life
playground of the poets and rishis,
of ages past, and all eons to come,
May my soul awaken, gently stirred
by the mystery that encompasses it,
May it awaken, into the glory of love
the joy of compassion, the tenderness of life,
the beauty of creation,
Reaching ever higher into now
Inconceivable realms,
This is my prayer.
