*Y.... Wonderful*
Wonderful is the sea
Delightful
Magnificent
Awesome.
Brilliantly blue in the deep
Pure
Breathtaking
Beautiful.
Superbly white near the beach
Astonishing
Marvellous
Wonderful

*Y..... A little tree*
One day, I found in a spot
Not so far from the sea
I thank you so much, my God
A lovely, wonderful tree
Its fruits, I started eating.
They were filled with love.
And I could not help but think
that I'd never get enough
One of the seeds of the fruit,
I have planted it in my soul
And now it's a pleasure to look
And watch a little tree grow.

*Y..... Happiness*
I guess it was my aunty's fault
That before I was six years old
It were my looks that made me happy
She just never stopped praising me
Later when I went to school
I realised I was a bit of a fool
To be so proud about my looks
My happiness shifted towards my books
Oh yes, I studied so hard
Most kids and my teachers thought I was smart
Every time I came home with good grades
Wow, that is fantastic! I was praised
But then came the teenage years
Happiness depended on approval of peers
My marks did not earn me any admiration
My looks had undergone some deterioration
I had grown fat and puberty came late
I got pimples, making it all still less great
I had grown into quite an unpopular kid
Happiness? I seemed to grow far away from it
Throughout my youth however
There was a place, I was let down never
It was my home, it was the presence of mother
She cared for her kids, truly like no other
After puberty, my appearance improved a bit
Even though I am still not proud about it
My grades allowed me to further my education
But happiness is another equation
I realise now that being fully happy
Is lying not so much outside of me
My biggest asset is still the care I received
Even though my mother has already deceased
She equipped me with a caring personality
and that is exactly what makes me happy
I get peace of mind while caring for another
Thanks to the great example of my loving mother
I have also appreciated my spiritual life
Imparted by mother and also my wife
When to our source, we try to connect
Life comes so close to being perfect
Another source of happiness has been
The magical beauty of nature, I 've seen
I love to spend time on the beach to unwind
That's where wisdom seems to pour in my mind
If I am allowed to summarise,
Since long I came to realise
That happiness is truly lying within after all
In wisdom, in love, in a beautiful soul.

*Y..... It Must Be Sung*
Close your eyes, imagine
All the water of the seas,
Inundating your heart
A deluge of love and peace
Keep them closed, your eyes
And try to feel it deep inside
That silent storm of peace and love
An endless stream never to subside
Then open your eyes, open wide
And try to realise, it isn't just a dream
The fountain's abundant flurry
Soaking your soul with love for real
Feel the hard blowing gusts of wind
Blowing love and peace in soul and mind
Let your heart open up and sing
The song of love and being kind
Do not doubt, do not listen to TV
Love and peace is everywhere around
It must be sung it can't be kept
Just let it flow and ever more abound
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y..... The Biggest Freedom*
I pray for love
We are all bathing in it
We just have to open our hearts,
to open our minds
And let it in
The biggest freedom is ours
To let it in or lock it out
I pray for hope
We are swimming in it
We just have to open our hearts
to open our souls
And let it in
The biggest freedom is ours
To let it in or lock it out
I pray for wisdom,
We are soaking in it
We just have to open
To open our minds
And let it in
The biggest freedom is ours
To let it in or lock it out
I pray for spirit
We are swimming in it
Let our selves drown in the huge love
the huge wisdom and spirit
that is around us all time

*Y..... A flake of truth*
A flake of truth
A crumb of honesty
A dropp of kindness
A grain of humility
Himalayan mounts of truth
Thousands loafs of honesty
Oceanic fluxes of kindness
Truck loads of humility
From a good start
To a lofty destination

*Y..... A fool in Europe*
A Norwegian fool
thought that it was cool
to kill girls and young men,
about eighty; imagine if you can.
All of us for sure already know.
Yahoo, TV, papers, all proud to show.
The terrible news we already got.
What would happen if we knew not?
The Norway fool, proud he must have been.
His picture everyone has seen.
And even what he thinks and wants to say
is sent by eager journalist our way.
The terrible news we surely got.
Would we be worse of if we knew not?
Why are we all so keen to know
what stupid people do and show?
Every single day we eagerly hear and read
about the wars and crimes that we don't need.
We seem to be so addicted to bad news
'til our peace of mind, we tend to lose.
Tell me fair and honestly,
would we be worse of, you and me,
if we would dare to refuse
to listen to all the awful news.
I am sure that for every bad thing,
a thousand good ones happening.
Unless more people do refuse,
we'll see only bad things in the news
So I invite you now to join me,
not to look at news anymore on tv.
All that time we will prefer to spend
Sending inspiring emails to a friend!
*Aufie Zophy*

*Y..... Don't touch it*
Have you seen a fire?
I mean a big one with high flames?
Any human touching it
Will suffer intense and lasting pains
Such is the law of nature
Nothing else could happen or be
Touching flames causes pains
Isn 't that easy to see?
Hatred is also like fire
It burns upon every touch
Pain is intense and lasting
Excruciating destruction, so much
Such is the law of nature
Nothing else could happen or be
Touching hatred causes pain
It is not difficult to see
And so is also anger
A blaze of uncontrolled heat
You touch it and bad burns
Are the only outcome to meet
Such is the law of nature
Nothing else could happen or be
Touching anger causes pain
It is not difficult to see
Lies of any nature or kind
Like smouldering ashes so hot
Touch lies and you suffer
Lies may seem ok but they're not
Such is the law of nature
Nothing else could happen or be
Touching lies causes pain
It may not be easy to see
Honesty love and kindness
Are like a cool breeze on a hot day
My boys, these laws of nature
Are here forever to stay
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y..... Get ready*
Get ready
Get ready for beauty
Get ready, Man
Get ready, M'am
Get ready boys and girls
Beauty is in the sky
Beauty on the water, under the water
On the ground, in the ground, under it
In your soul, in your heart, in your mind
It is in the eyes, on the face
Beauty is everywhere
Get ready for a beautiful day
Get ready
Get ready for wisdom
Get ready, Man
Get ready, M'am
Get ready, boys and girls
Wisdom is in the sky
It is everywhere on the rise
It lies in the random kind act
In the books, in your smile
On the net, in the work we do
In the prayers we say.
Wisdom is on the rise
Get ready,
Get ready for kindness and love
Get ready, Man
Get ready, M'am
Get ready boys and girls
Kindness is coming
It is in a bullet train, an unstoppable TGV
Millions on board already
Gathering momentum, Exponential increases
The train moves at dazzling speed
With open doors, sucking in more and more people
Soon a billion will be on board
Then it will take only seconds
To envelop the whole wide world.
Get ready for a beauty revolt
Get ready for a wisdom revolution
Get ready for a huge kindness revolution.

*Y..... Ice and Vapour*
A hard start of the day
A loud quarrel with my son
Yes, a real hard start today
Puberty seems to go on and on
A whole day of fuming
Hardening my heart
This one I am not accepting
Now he went too far
Then in the evening, before we met,
In my inbox in my phone
A message from a Sufi poet
Melted my heart of stone.
A dropp of water, said the poet,
Make it cold and it will freeze to solid
Then add some heat or warmth to it
And it immediately becomes fluid
The solid icy phase is static, cannot move
Just like a bitter heart is cold and full of limitation
Then let forgiveness in, all will improve
The solid melts or even will go to sublimation
Still add more warmth and kindness to it all
The gaseous state is soon achieved
And our heart and our soul
Will float, expand, what a relief
I threw away my plans for a cold shoulder
I let my frozen heart melt a bit
My miserable day seemed soon to be over
Forgiveness now was filling it
When I returned from work, I smiled to him
Thanks to that message in the mail.
I received a warm handshake in return
All ice melted, warmth and love prevail
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y..... Knowing Ourselves*
Whenever I think I know myself
Something happens that makes me doubt
I do know a bit about myself
I set out my own principles
Principles I love, I want to live by
But then so often I fail
Why do I fail?
Which part of us fails?
Which part of us sets the principles?
I think I can experience my soul,
Am I my soul?
Is my soul owning my mind, my heart, my body?
Why does my soul not take charge all the time?
My heart and mind seem to have to search
To search so intensely for my soul
to put my big ego aside
Is my ego competing with my soul?
It seems to be never quiet
Why my soul does not compete harder?
And then my thoughts, flying coming in, going out
I have written them down.
If I read my thoughts from the past
I feel I get to know myself a bit better
'cause thoughts come from the mind
They come from the soul, from the heart
And yes, also from the ego.

*Y..... Light Delight*
A fluff white cloud and a branch of lush casuarina,
Glorious bliss to the eye, wonderfully pure
Breezily dancing like a gracious ballerina,
Painted on the late morning sky of soft azure
Sheer and wild delight
Flows through my veins
Pushing firmly aside
Any sorrow or pains
The sun stands high over a heavenly sea
The green of the tree in yellowish rays
Celestial blue over snow-white breaking waves
What a rejoice, these resplendent light plays
The child in me jumps up inside
My soul is bathing in its delight
Fascinating nature, fine and bright
A stunning game of love and light
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y..... Luscious*
My white cloud angel
Flies with outspread wings
In front of the smiling moon
And talks a luscious rainbow
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y..... More than just a dream...*
The future holds something bright.
We have gone through the agricultural revolution,
the industrial revolution, the IT revolution,
and what not.
The next one will be
the wisdom revolution
closely intertwined
with the kindness revolution.
The poetry of our current poets
is sizzling and boiling
boiling over and
soon will warm up the world.
Small kindnesses are slowly
taking the place of big greed.
Reason taking the place of violence.
Positivity replacing negative
The current warmongers will not last long
and perish in shame and regrets.
Soon the last remnants of our barbaric human behaviour
will remain captured on recorded images
They will serve as last proof
of an era that will be looked upon
with cold shivers
by the next generations of humans.
This is really more than a dream of mine.
It has grown into a conviction.
We do need poets to keep
writing their heart and soul
into poetry that speaks and inspires,
that motivates and gives warmth,
that is slowly but certainly
changing the world forever

*Y..... Nature's Story*
The early morning orange
Tells me a story of peace and being kind
But isn't it a bit strange
That peace and friends are hard to find
The static high casuarina tree
Tells me a story of tolerance and dignity
But why is it that I see
So much anger, hate, lack of integrity
The deep and tumultuous sea
Is telling me a story of strength and beauty
But somehow all around me
Garbage and dirt is everywhere to see
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y..... Polish*
Somewhere deep inside
I am aware of health
Health is still our greatest wealth
For healthy hearing, healthy vision
For healthy organs, healthy motion
This awareness is in need of polish
Somewhere deep inside
I am aware of love
Of all nice feelings from above
For kindness moving my very core
For warmth in my heart and so much more
This awareness is in need of polish
Somewhere deep inside
I am aware of wisdom
A mind's only true kingdom
For wise words thought
For wise words read and spoken
This awareness is in need of polish
Somewhere deep inside,
Resides my spirit and my soul
Perhaps the most important of all
That great light guiding
That inspiration, intuition abiding
This awareness needs some polish
Oh my Creator, oh my God
Help me so that thanking, I forget not
Be aware and thank for the diamonds in the rough
Residing deep inside, hidden, appearing though
Let us polish, make the diamonds shine so bright
Let us polish, polish, expose them to the light
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y..... Quarks inside*
The morning sunlight
In all its glory
The morning sunlight
In all its glam
Every molecule in my heart
Is jumping up and down
The quarks inside collide
Emanating a mini beam of light
I hope that this little beam of light
Coming from my heart in a way
Can just like the morning sun
Brighten the lives of those I meet today
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y..... Row*
Sitting at the river bed
I prayed to God, I said
Please help me, show the way
Show me the light of day
Then in front of me
a small boat passed
a man was rowing
I suddenly realised
God gave already the water
God gave already the boat
But I had to row
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y..... The Balloon*
I went to the sea of love, this noon
I took it and put it in a blue balloon
I brought this balloon, so blue
all the way, especially for you
So, quick, quick, quick
Give this balloon a prick
let's bathe in its content
a sea of love, to never end
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Air*
I breathe in
I breathe in a big breath
A big breath of clean air
A big breath of pure energy
A breath of power
I take a breath
A deep breath of healing
A deep breath of love
A deep breath of wisdom
A breath full of spirit
I breathe the sea breeze
Bringing freshness
I breathe in stormy winds
I inhale their creativity
I inhale their strength
Oxygen is flowing in
entering my lungs,
Permeating my being
And I breathe in once more
A big deep breath.
*Aufie Zophy*
