*X..... When We Silently Pray*
Have you seen a crab on the beach,
Running towards the water of the sea?
That is how our brain feels
Getting closer to divine wisdom
When we silently pray
Have you seen a young tree
Its roots penetrating the earth
Its branches embracing the air
That is how our heart feels
Reaching out for love
When we silently pray
Have you seen a piece of bread
That was dropped in a bowl of soup
Drenched, completely wet
Its texture changed forever
That is how our soul longs
To be immersed in our Creator
When we silently pray.

*X...... specialist*
A specialist did his rounds in the morning,
Then, was hungry and went for breakfast with his friends:
“Have you seen the match between Urugay and Spain?
Spain is strong, any attempt to beat them will be vain.
Germany, Maradonna have nothing to gain.”
In the mean time inside his clinic, a patient in pain:
‘When will the doctor be able to see me? ’
I am sure he is helping out in an emergency.
I pray, it turns out okay,
please doctor, come as soon as you can be.

*Y.. Morning Magic (Haiku)*
Please, God, let it be
That early morning magic
Stays 'till night with me

*Y.. The Little Light*
There is a little light,
A little light in your heart,
A little light that has tremendous power
If we allow, it can obliterate all darkness.
That little light in your heart
Let it shine.
There is a little light,
A little light in your soul
If we allow, it carries tremendous wisdom
It flashes sparks and thoughts of goodness
That little light in your soul
Let it shine
No matter how dark is the night
Within, you can always find that little light
The light in your heart, the light in your soul
They're always there to brighten your world
These little lights of your heart and soul,
Let them shine.

*Y.. A deep valley*
A valley, unfathomably deep
It's dark, it's cold; bitter tears I weep
Is there a way up, is there a way out?
Should I be quiet or just start to shout?
I'm lost in the labyrinth of being worried
Engulfed in self pity I am almost buried
Monstrous dinosaurs of hatred surround me
My ego's nasty revenge has not yet found thee
I want to get out at any cost
The more I fume, the more I am lost
A hopeless jungle of feeling bad
The situation just drives me mad
Until finally,
I come across the path of love
Leading to somewhere high above
A path created by wisdom of Saints
It seems to be free of all restraints
I start to follow this path of unconditional love,
Away from this valley, I want so much to get out of
Worry and hatred are left behind
Bye, deep valley, I have freed my mind
--
Note:
This poem is about one hour or so I spent in nature in solitude
soon after a very disheartening verbal encounter
with one of my teenage sons whom I love soooo much.
Really, love is our God's way......

*Y.. A Firm Yes*
In a wonderful cartoon, i had the pleasure to read:
A lonely person stood on the corner of the street
He was pulled to one side by a good hearted soul
He was pulled to another side by a good hearted soul
Each wanted to invite him for dinner, a good deed
Could it ever be, that there is a lack of lonely people in the world?
Will it ever happen that more people want to invite lonely people
than there are lonely people?
I 'd answer with a firm YES
'cause we are living in a spiritual world
and more spiritual it becomes!

*Y.. Charms of the sea*
</>The white foam
of majestic waves
usurps my spirit
The perfume
of the sea
pervades my mind
The reflection
of the late morning sun
beams into my heart
The sound roars and
my whole being is seized
by the magic of the moment
*Aufie Zophy*

*Y.. Didn't*
I wanted to wait
But I didn't
You wanted to help
But you didn't
He wanted to respect
But he didn't
We wanted to donate
But we didn't
You wanted to talk
But you didn't
They wanted to build
But they didn't
Don't we all have good intentions?

*Y.. Hey, Jay*
Hey, Jay,
A disabled boy,
'Do not stare at him, this way'
Staring may be wrong?
A disabled boy,
Instead we look away.
Is turning away not wrong?
A disabled boy,
To stare or turn away,
Which one is more wrong?
A disabled boy,
'Have compassion' they say
Or is compassion also not right?
A disabled boy,
Perhaps there is no right or wrong,
If we ‘d just follow our heart?
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y.. Huge*
A billion metric tons of friendliness
sit in the heart of everyone on earth
An inexhaustible sea of kindness
Resides in our hearts since birth
Why only milligrams, we use,
a few droplets at a time?
There is really nothing to lose
If we let what's in our heart just shine.
Stinginess with water from a sea?
Stinginess with metric tons from that heart of thee?
Let's set all that friendliness, all that kindness free
Let's shower a bucket full on friend and foe, why shouldn't we?
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y.. Humility*
When we bend forward
When we kneel
To praise our God
Let's become truly humble
When we bend or kneel
To praise our God
Let's decide to give up
The childishness of adulthood
After we ‘ve bent or kneeled
To praise our God,
Let's live the child-like life of children
A child-like life full of love and wonder
*Aufie Zophy*

*Y.. Intimate Freedom*
Intimate freedom?
So many people go on with the most intimate act
Shortly after they met, after the first contact
Lust and desire, need for pleasure, a gift a God
And then He forbids it, quite cruel! Or not?
Imagine your one-time girl experiences a pregnancy
After your very pleasant and happy intimacy
A child without father, the mother too young
Or illegitimate abortion, a feat causing guilt, often life-long
But now we have means to avoid such ills
We do have devices and wonderful pills
With proper protection, even HIV has no chance
So why not enjoy the pleasure of the intimate dance?
Still, my sons, please think of the size of the feeling
We generate in young girls through 'virginity stealing'
Every day, broken hearted people, driven to the brink
Are hopeless, overwhelmed by sadness, unable to think.
Some may say, no problem if both are fully aware
It is not love, just pleasure we share
What a huge mistake to think we are above
The power of nature, of falling in love.
Next time, just think, perhaps when too early intimacy would start,
You ‘ll be the one, ending up devastated, with a broken heart.
After you gave the best of yourself, you are dumped for another
Your feelings ignored, your love of your life, she couldn't bother
For yourself or the girl you desire, avoid this curse
Being dumped after love, nothing seems worse.
Intimate contact, still a present from God, super fine
As long as we reserve it for the very right time!

Written in clear language for my two teenage sons
The rules of our Creator make so much sense!

*Y.. It is all in the in*
Love
With or Without in
A Fall or a Choice
Lightness or Virtue
Weakness or Strength
Transient Ecstasy or
Permanent Peace of Mind
In makes all the Difference.

*Y.. One Second Ago*
One second ago or even less
A thing flashed through my mind
A thought it was, I guess
It was particularly unkind
Now I have a choice to make,
I think a lot here is at stake
I can let bloom the unkind thought
or destroy it, make it naught
A bit proudly, here I state
My choice has been already made
WIth thanks to our God above
The unkind thought was replaced by one of love.

*Y.. Poetry and History*
Tired at night, I went to sleep
I slept tremendously deep
I slept a very long time
I woke up in October of 2110
and some history books of then
were laying in that room of mine
How exciting it was, how queer
to read the history of the coming years
I was in for quite a surprise
The heroes of the 2011 history books
were labelled as what they were, just crooks
Heroes in 2110 were nobody else than the wise
There were some wise people, so clever
who brought to us kindness and wisdom forever
these were the heroes of 2110
Among the heroes, prophets and thinkers were found
poets of wisdom, their names all around
Sages and wise ones from way back,2010
In 2110, from what I could read
there was no longer hunger, no more greed
thanks to the poets sharing wonderful words
I prayed to go back to the time when I had started to sleep
I wanted to share that news, so good, so profound and deep
I was happy to wake up in the now, my prayers were heard
So here I share the wonderful news at last
That greed and hunger will soon be a thing of the past
it all 'll have started in 2012 during spring
History books of the future mention a kindness revolution
Starting in May 2012, affecting all subsequent evolution
Isn't that a wonderful thing?

*Y.. Reality*
Reality
Is dark and gloomy
But I see so much light
Reality
Is negative and bad
But I see so much goodness
Reality
Is falsehood and deceit
But I see so much honesty
Reality
is ugly and hideous
But I see so much beauty
Reality may be changing slowly
Please try to see
Take a look together with me
*Aufie Zophy*

*Y.. Simple*
It's so simple, rough acts boost our ego,
but trouble our soul, trouble our life
Nice and kind acts boost our soul
and will lead to peace of mind
It's so simple, rough words boost our ego
but trouble our soul, trouble our life
Nice and kind words boost our soul
and will lead to peace of mind
It's so simple, rough thoughts boost our ego
but trouble our soul, trouble our life
Nice and kind thoughts boost our soul
and will lead to peace of mind
It is really that simple, we always have the choice
It is just a very true fact of life
Just think about the last time you acted, talked, thought rough
Just think about the last time you acted, talked, thought nice
*Aufie Zophy*

*Y.. The Cloud*
A sublime white cloud
Hanging above the sea
Fluffy and streaky
Transparent and bright
White and blue
Fully abstract
A marvellous sight
That cloud,
So nice.
No ancient Greek,
Nor Michelangelo
Nor Van Gogh, Nor Picasso
Has ever made anything
Of such astonishing beauty
Such a sublime piece of art
Sculpted, painted,
By the Ultimate Master
Of all Sculptors, painters
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y.. The girl*
The girl is wearing a head scarf
She is also wearing trousers
Condemned by Westerners for wearing the scarf
Condemned by Muslims for wearing trousers
The girl is
not condemning others...
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y.. Touch*
</>We were reaching out to touch
We didn't touch a thing
We didn't touch a body
We touched a soul.
And suddenly, the world changed forever
