Poem 141-160

*Y/ When I feel low*

When I feel low in energy
I make a walk on the beach
I think of the goodness of God
I think a positive thought
And I do not feel low anymore

*Aufie Zophy*

*Y/. Imagine*

Imagine
That enough people
Would believe
That the world is good
That the world is loving
That the world is wonderful
What a good
What a loving
What a wonderful
World it would be...

*Y/. New Me*

An almost perfect silence embraces
a whispering fountain of sparks
illuminating my inner thoughts

An almost perfect silence envelops
pepper of love that’s being sprinkled
on the plainness of my hungry ego

A perfect silence
of light and love
A new me emerges

*Aufie Zophy*

*Y/. A Small Bird*

A small bird
Beautiful feathers
Flying from tree to tree
Singing fabulous songs

A small spark
A beautiful soul
Flaring up with inspiration
A source of fabulous thoughts

Encage the bird
Its feathers become dull
Withering like a flower
Fallen out of the vase

Encage the soul
The fire will be doused
No more light no more heat
A pile of ashes

I don't know why since the middle ages
Many a religious leader forcefully engages
To put the souls of their followers in cages

Let the bird fly
Set the soul free
Let the bird sing
Let the soul inspire

Please leaders of today
Try not to encage our soul
Not to encage our mind
Not in any way

*Y/. A Tough Ride*

As a traveller I have enjoyed time and again
The green leafy woods and shady paths therein
But this time, there were no woods in my sight
A travel through the desert seemed to be my plight

The heat was excruciatingly hot
My camel moved but speed, it knew not
Every movement, even my breathing
Seemed to make heat exceedingly seething

Every day I met an oasis, sometimes even two
The shade was great and there was fresh water too
I wanted to stop and stay for long
But me and my camel just kept going on

While in the oasis I wanted to think and write and pray
Something quite impossible in the desert heat by day
But my short time there was mostly consumed by sleep
Also quite impossible in the middle of the heat

How I longed to change the desert for the green and leafy woods
How I wanted to enjoy the shadiness and its lovely fruits
Even the savannah was something often on my mind
A trip through there seemed already amazingly kind


I knew that one day the trip through the desert would end
Just for now in the desert I was stuck with the camel as my friend
There was no clear purpose, no real basis
Just traveling in the heat from oasis to oasis

After 6 weeks of sand and sand and heat
The border of the desert did I meet
Now I am truly back in the green and leafy woods
Enjoying my journey on the grassy paths and all their goods

*Y/. A Whiff Of Conscience*

A whiff of conscience
whispers in our heart
listening in absolute silence
hearing it, a work of art

A bright flame of goodness
for our eyes to see
A fire of rightness
warmth on our skin to feel

Soft winds of love, so kind
blowing breeze of soul
illuminating our mind
an ideal, an inspirational call

Nectar of honesty
Roses of integrity
Aromas dancing merrily
Cherry blossoms of charity

A whiff of conscience
Sitting somewhere deep inside
Shining throughout the universe
An inextinguishable light

*Y/. Abundance*

The silent river
feeds its abundant water
to the thirsty sea.

Who's enjoying peace
the quiet giving river
or receiving sea?

*Aufie Zophy*

*Y/. And Now*

Yesterday the world was cruel
And now it is kind

The day before yesterday the world was violent
And now it is full of peace

Three days ago the world was greedy
And now it is charitable

Four days ago the world was full of lies
And now it is only truth

Five days ago the world was negative
And now it is positive

Six days ago the world was ignorant
And now it is wise

One week ago the world was just a prelude
Only now we become real

*Y/. Another Chance...*

If you feel life is mean,
Give life one more chance

Visit your mother
Do a bit of gardening
Enjoy the sunlight
Say a prayer in your heart

Life’s small kindnesses
can eclipse big meanness

*Aufie Zophy*

------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Y/. Beyond beyond imagination*

A heart full of love

Sweet memories dancing in my head
We had no secrets, everything we knew
Hurt, oh yes, but love so much stronger
Far away but yet so close and near
Love of father and son, way beyond imagination
The uniqueness of our bond, beautiful beyond that

With full eyes, I forgive anything and everything
May the scales of life, tilt with tremendous gravity
Towards your good deeds and fantastic care
May your perfect soul enjoy eternal peace and indulge
What happens after death, may be beyond imagination
But I hope and pray it is for you beautiful beyond that

*Y/. Bliss*

Reminiscing about the past
My mum, unwavering soft care
It has been going all too fast
Caring heart, always there

My childhood before my eyes
A tree-strong source of inspiration
My dad, my mum, amazing ties
A flame, a fire, heart warming liaison

I hope I manage to keep alive
And let God multiply
all the good, all care and smiles
Bless my parents, parents my

. BLISS

*Y/. Energy*

The energy flowing through the branches of the trees in spring
The energy flowing through the flowers and blossoms that bloom
The energy of the sea, ocean and its gusty winds
It gently flows through my veins and arteries too

The energy of painters, poets and bards making fun
The energy of wild tigers, lions and leopards too
The energy that flows through the rivers, moon and sun
It flows through my veins and also through those of you.

*Y/. From a boat on sea*

Today, the lovely North-Sea,
cuddling me super softly,
held me in her wavy arms
I adored her color charms

Sounds of salty water dear
Baroque music in my ears
North-Sea, my dear North-Sea blue
How I love these hues of you

*Aufie Zophy*

*Y/. Jungle*

When we were born
A seed of love was planted
It spouted in our little hearts

And our baby smiles
Could not be contained
It went on growing

It blossomed, bloomed,
Fruited, filling our being
The joy of giving

Let’s ever enjoy the sharing
Let it overflow and overgrow
Create a jungle of kindness around

*Aufie Zophy*

------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Y/. Just sitting there*

Thousands of grains of sand
are sticking to my hand
Millions of microdrops of salty sea
are flying around the head of me

And I am just sitting there
on that vast and lonely beach
wanting to be
a little servant of humanity

*Aufie Zophy*

*Y/. Never Waiting Again*

While waiting in a cue or jam
Let's try to connect to our heart
And search for a lovely feeling

While waiting for the elevator
Let's try to connect to our God
And search for a lovely thought

While waiting for a train or plane
Let's try to connect to our universe
And search for some lovely words

We may end up
Never really waiting again!

*Y/. Purple*

I took a walk this morning
On the beach
I could see so many flowers
Growing in the wild

All of them were coloured purple
So beautiful
Perhaps God’s favourite colour
Is purple

Looking at the bright white sand
So delightful
God's favourite colour could also
Be white

A bush with small yellow flowers
So exquisite
Perhaps God's favourite colour
Is yellow

The sea so blue, the grass so green
So soothing and lovely
Gods favorite colour might as well be
blue or green.

But then on my way back I see again
all the purple flowers
It must be purple
:)

*Y/. Revolution*

Rolling waves are roaring
One word they roar:
Revolution

Revolution of love
Revolution of life
Revolution of caring kindness

My flying feathered friends
One word they sing:
Revolution

Revolution of love
Revolution of life
Revolution caring kindness

Flaming orange clouds are painting
One word they paint:
Revolution

Revolution of love
Revolution of life
Revolution of caring kindness

Whizzing winds are whispering
One word they whisper:
Revolution

Revolution of love
Revolution of life
Revolution of caring kindness

Oh, yes it is
in the waves of the sea
in the song of the birds
in the clouds in the sky
in the sound of the winds
A huge kindness revolution
And it is coming soon.

Listen, look,
Plunge in, float towards
Embrace, Enjoy

*Y/. Sense-ational*

The smell of the sea was more special
More precious than that of a rose in spring
The wind on my skin was so sweet and soft
It was fantastic, a real caressing
The sounds of the waves, real music
Mozart, Bach, never heard such a thing
The view of the sea the colours so nice
Blue green, white waves, amazingly amazing

I tried to smell, feel, hear and see
All at the same time, simultaneously
But this was really much easier said than done
When I looked and listened, the smell was gone
Focusing on smell and the breeze from the skies
gave me the sudden strong urge to close my eyes
I tried again and again to absorb the senses of the sea
And what was first two, became soon a wonderful three.

After some time I finally could sense all four
It felt like being one with the sea in my core
I felt and smelled and heard and saw
It really had me standing there in awe
I licked my lips and guess what
I could taste some of the sea’s salt…

*Y/. The light*

I have traveled in the dark
With only glimpses of light
Now and then a spark
As my one and only guide

But something from inside
Has happened now to me
It's making things look bright
The light, now I can see

With the light in sight,
I walk now the road, straight
To reach the mighty light
My soul and mind don't want to wait
