Poem 161-172

*Y/. the wondrous story of Clara*

This is about Clara who was a tiny drop of water
A good girl, followed what her father taught her
She lived in the ocean, was happy and full of cheer
Until one day, what happened to her, oh dear?

One day she basked near the surface of the sea
In the sunshine, enjoying all the warmth and energy
But of this energy she got too much, there’s no denying
She evaporated and found herself soon flying.

She flew and flew, far and through the wind so high
She wondered where, oh where to, shall I fly
She gathered with other drops of water in a cloud
Wind pushing her over the land where she rained out

Little Clara ended up in drinking water for a man
Think about little Clara’s fate, imagine if you can
After passing through his mouth, stomach and gut
She entered a warm red fluid, they called it blood

She was carried through vessels thin and long
What an experience, she did not cry, she was strong
When she passed the brain, out of the vessels she went
Yes our brain consists of water, about seventy percent

In the brain she seemed to settle down and stay
She started to enjoy it there more day by day.
She was in the brain of a man, his name was John
And listen to what the man, named John has done

John was a charitable man, doing many a good deed
He liked so much to help those who were in need
Whenever he did so, his brain was a fantastic place to be
Clara enjoyed the love and peace and tranquillity

Once when John was praying to the universal Soul
His brain was at peace and it felt sooo good for all,
That another little drop of water, named Molly
Started to spontaneously dance of joy and jolly

All drops of water in John’s brain took a stance
And joined Molly in her fantastic dance
They were dancing for quite a while
That night John slept with a great smile

One time when John was in deep meditation
The thoughts of John emitted a bright radiation
Clara and Molly who had become each other’s friend
Enjoyed the clear light and wished it not to end

When John was sick and was about to die
The two friends dreaded to say goodbye
But somehow they had to leave John’s brain
They left his body and again became drops of rain

They fell in a small brook that swelled in the monsoon
And with millions of companions they reached a river soon
In the river they travelled steadily for hundreds of miles
And when they saw the ocean, they were all in smiles

They travelled to great depths of the sea
And enjoyed their origin ecstatically
When they told their friends about the adventure and the fun
The friends decided to go immediately basking in the sun.

*Y/. Winning whisper*

An ominous, gloomy cloud
Of anger, frustration and shout
It darkens our sky, it’s getting loud
It’s about to thunder and rain out.

But there deep in our hearts
There is a whisper that starts
It is a whisper of unconditional love
Perhaps coming from high above

What will happen, ‘ll fully depend
on what we listen to more in the end
To the thunder, shall we give in?
Or will we let the soft whisper win?

*Y/.. Ecstatic wisdom*

Just like an ecstatic dancer
Can get absorbed fully by the music
And let the music flow through him
And dictate every movement he makes
Without any inhibition form within

So can the enthusiastic wise man
Get absorbed fully by the wisdom
And let the wisdom flow through him
And dictate the train of thoughts completely
Without any inhibition from within.

*Y/.. Gold*

My mug is full of gold
and i am not happy
It is love that I need

I try to be loved
But no one loves
It is love that I need

I try to give love
Many give back
It is love that I need

Gold is fine, beautiful
I want it, I love it
But it is love that I need

I need love

*Y/.. Intention*

This morning I wanted to be the sunshine
in the life of everyone i'd meet


Now at night, I am not so sure
Not sure if any rays have shone


Sometimes small gestures or a kind word
can make a difference in someone's life


I hope I had some of these today
'cause of big good deeds I am not aware


Perhaps the small talk with my son
or a very simple hi or smile


I still hope that my day has meant a thing
for here or there a soul, a heart or mind

*Y/.. Much more*

When I walk on the grass
When I walk on the sand
and feel the millions of blades of grass
and feel the trillions of grains of sand
under my bare feet
I wonder

I wonder
about the grass,
about the sand,

I wonder
about the grass, how did it grow so green
about the sand, why are its grains so small

the grass at night
with the moon's light
So pleasing

the sand during day
with the bright sun's rays
So pleasing

I love the grass, I love the sand
but much more still
I do love you, my fellow human being

I love each moment of harmony
within our large families
I love each little kindness
between two strangers

I love the grass and sand
But so much more,
I do love you

*Aufie Zophy*

*Y/.. Not enough*

In our wide wonderful planet
Cruelties and sadness are abound
Greed and hatred, name it
you can find it all around
We have enough of all of these
No need to spread this type of news

The thing that is not enough
Is loving kindness, simply love
So if you see or do an act of love
don't be shy just spread the word
Write more about what is not enough
and make this a little better world

*Y/.. One more cup*

Bread from bakery Paul
Saturday morning,9 am
A breakfast with my mom

Chatting in the kitchen
Sharing what we knew,
Secrets, stories, news,

The moments I cherish most:
It was when I got ready to stand up
My mom said: have just one more cup

I never could resist
Sure I loved the steaming hot coffee
But much more, my mom's loving company

Oh, the lovely moments with my mom
How I miss these lovely weekend morns
How I wish I could have just one more

For everyone whose mom is still alive
A great plan, a few words of warm advice:
Have soon a meal with her. It'll be nice!

*Y/.. Roots for everyone's heart*

There is a tree
A wonderful tree
The tree of kindness
It is the fastest growing tree
In this world, God bless

There is a tree
The wonderful kindness tree
Taking deep roots forever to last
In a million people's heart
Spouting and growing enormously fast

There is a tree
That wonderful kindness tree
It grows so fast, that soon enough
The whole wide world on sea and earth
will be filled with comfort and love

There is a tree
That wonderful tree of kindness
Roots spreading in another million hearts
spouting and growing reaching high and wide
And then in another million hearts it starts

And then another two million
And five million more to come
A billion hearts soon will follow
I already smell its wonderful blossom
Roots in everyone's heart will show

Oh, it is growing so fast, this tree
let's sit and enjoy in its amazing shadow
And just let the roots in your heart grow!

*Y/.. Small Meditation*

The soft silence of my room
invites my thoughts to wander
Connecting to the universe
refusing on the news to ponder

*Aufie Zophy*

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

*Y/.. Thirst*

The dry soil
The brown grass
The thirsty tree
a thunderstorm

*Aufie Zophy*

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

*Y/.. Unity*

Blue vastness dressed in a skimpy white dress
Partially hidden by a wealth of green leaves
Blowing a wave of exquisite beauty into my eyes

Moving my heart, fusing my heart with my soul
Inspiring thoughts of unique universal unity
Connecting all beating hearts to each other

Making them melt with trees and flowers,
and oceans and seas, with mountains and deserts.
with moon and with sun, in a grandiose harmony

Connecting all beating hearts
to the whole wide wonderful universe
Connecting all beating hearts.
