Ode to Summer '03

May your Sunflower
catch its morning ray
and reach to touch
the face of the smiling
ever-happy sun~

May the warm breeze,
dancing through the fields,
stir up intoxicatingly
ever-divine fragrances~

And may the entrancing
humming of bees, lead
you to  the ever-secret
Nectar within.

THE MOUNTAIN LAKE

 Dear friend, do you want to know how
to live your life as you were meant to do? 
Sorry, I am not going to tell you.
However I will give you some advice. 

Go to a mountain lake, listen and learn.
And do as the lake does. Be still.
Reflect the infinite sky and the
ascending trees in your waters.

 Feel your depths where not even reflections
come. And welcome the streams from the
surrounding peaks that have been sent
as an invitation from the distant ocean,
delivered by fleets of clouds.

 Feel those merging waters and hear their, Ahh.
Let them flow into your depths with all the
streams' sentiments. Then neither holding nor
sending, just allowing the water to return to its
messenger, hear the roar of thestreams
rushing downward, shouting their return.

 Which is greater you might ask:
 ocean, lake, incoming streams,
or outgoing rush?
Who am I to say?
I am only water.

~Janaka 

 Love Is…

Love is incredible, love is amazing, love can be hard to explain.
It is through loving one another, that there is so much to gain.
Love is the answer, to each and every need.
Love is in kindness, compassion, and in every good deed.

Love is inspiration within, it’s in a moment of grace.
Love can transform, the entire human race.
Love solves all problems, with love all things are possible.
Love makes friends out of enemies, love is very powerful.

Love is everywhere, love is endless, love is infinite.
Love is a light within our heart, that will always stay lit.
Love is the expression of God, through the hearts of all men.
Love is the key that unlocks the door, to the heaven within.

Love is the only thing, in this world that is real.
It is truth. It never dies. It is what we are here to feel.
Now the question we must ask ourselves, “Is how do we begin to love?”
The answer is by loving God within, your higher self above.

For when we love God, we are truly loving ourselves.
Then we can extend that love to others, and be filled with so much wealth.
It is by loving one another, that we can overcome our fear.
To love, is our purpose. It is why, we are here.

  THE PATH

Rise up oh Dharmin, rise up again.
 Come to your feet and be.
Stand tall and strong,
look to the heavens above.

The yogi must shine the way.
This path I've cleared for you,
you've strayed many times,
your heavy heart is closed and afraid.

Abandon all your doubts and
any belief you have of me,
move ahead my dear child
and you will see.
Walk straight in line,
light with every step,
glide like the wind flowing free.

Let your eyes open wide and
silence pervade your mind,
now compassion flood your veins.
Take another step, be careful not to fall,
many are watching you closely.

Take the hands of the sick,
the weak and the poor.
Bring them all along the way.
Your heart will cry and bleed
upon the suffering you will see.

Don't stop now, take a step. Take a step
Dance with self abandon and lead the world to me,
embrace the wicked and the freaks.
I'll light the sun to shine the way,
and bring the stars to light the night.

Darkness will not keep you from me.
I'll grow flowers to raise your smile.
My trees will bring you shade.
Listen to the birds, they speak the truth of me.

I'll move the oceans to the shore.
Grow fruit for you to eat.
Rain will fall now drink.
I'll give you what you need.

Come closer now.
Don't be afraid of me.
Walk this path of eternity.
Why go astray,
I'll guide you every day.
Take a step to me.
OM Shanti Shanti Shanti.....

What is True, what is Real

Is Greater than the Words Reveal -

Ah! a Deal - Please Unveil versus Conceal?!

Freedom

Some of the finest
 gifts are given 
without words.

Attend to those
with care
and delight.

d. 3/03

Sometimes It Rhymes and
Sometimes It Ain't 

Solomae tells me my truth to hear.
I feel her presence, a Crystal, so clear.
For I have come to open the love inside my fear.

Sometimes I am shut down,
feeling a little outside,
maybe wanting to hide?
But, I'm thankful for
going along for the ride.

This week has been normal,
contraction and release,
some feelings of balance,
love and forms of peace.

The day began in contractions of sorts,
fears wanting to hide and feelings
wanting to come forth.

As the little tears came,
my drive had just begun.
So I tucked them inside,
where the fears reside,
we all went for a ride.

I step into the room,
set down on my chair.
Not wanting to feel close to
anyone there.

My attention became aware
a few minutes of being here;
feelings of I can relax,
it's a soft place to land,
things will  become clear.

A time to be quiet,
a time to start,
hearing the silence
my own beating
heart.

The feelings I now am,
are filling me with grace,
and the tears are slowly
streaking down face.

How did I get here?
Your response may be other mine. 
But, my fears were erased,
as the I surrender into the
nature of the
Divine.

SPIRAL

A spark, an infinite twirling dance of constellations
upon a darkened canvas of sky.
Each tiny twinkling reaching out to the other
in love and in grace,
co-creating together in their tiny space.
Harmonizing, synthesizing,
pulsating as One.
Threading, never-ending,
boundaries undone.
A twist here, a turn there, a new shape is born.
A Spiral.
Ever perfect in creation.
Awakening, Devotion, Healing, Activation.
The seeker is silenced.
All join hands, all sigh in eternal bliss.
Spiraling further and farther into Everything

" Wing & Lantern "

Unknown Breath
Of Celeste Wind
Circling...Circling...
Momentary Suspension
Aloft White Wing.
Grey Cloak Swirls-
Luminary Approach.
Play of Consciousness
Opens...Unfolds...
Spills sweet Nectarean
Delights...
Loves Dance is Afoot.

Into The Marrow

Into the marrow of my Soul,
I gently slip

Beyond the pail of this world,
I release and loose my grip

I surrender
to all I have known,

Looking at the Invisible
rarely ever shown.

Take me deeper now,
beyond the limits of me.

I reach out for the Infinite,
The only way to be free.

Colors blur and transcend
Brighter than they could ever Be,

Take me to your Secret Garden,
Place me safe in your care.

The Unlimited wonders,
Your resources Everywhere

Sustain me,
By your mighty hand above.

Mostly I pray and entreat,
Sustain me with your Love.

Daniel John Taylor, 38

" Still Yearning "

Complete
abandonment
to acceptance,
nothing to lose
nothing to gain,
lost and found,
there for the taking
and still yearning
for the divine,
never to be
quenched in the
mirror of thine
and mine eyes -
dark pools of
buddha rain.

The Maidens' Voyage

Emerging...Anchored...A Fierce Galleon
From a Dark Voyage On Rough Seas,
Awash with Seaspray Tears.
The Flagship Unfurles,
Carressed by the Fingers of Foam..
Sails Lifted by the Rising Sun,
Abode Swollen and Unstrung
With the Eternal Abundance of
All That Is.
