poem 173-195

The Song Of Heaven (Haiku)

The sea sung the song 
of heaven, and I could see 
heaven kiss the sea

Aufie Zophy

The Song Of Heaven (Sonnet)

The violent waves of the stormy sea break 
It is the song of heaven that they sing 
Amazing, wonderful music they make 
Adorable roars, truly enlight'ning 

Heaven is pleased and delights in it all 
A heavenly cloud gives the sea a kiss 
The horizon, at a distance so small 
Embraces the sea, an ocean of bliss 

But heavenly songs and heavenly scenes 
Without the beautiful image of you 
Do not seem complete and so in my dreams 
I'm not here alone, but we're here with two 

So much I love sounds and sights of the sea 
Much more dear's still, the love ‘tween you and me

Y/.. Flowers Of Faith

Faith is like a garden, 
full of beautiful flowers 
If people pluck them 
or even step on them 
the garden is not affected 
Because flowers of faith 
grow faster, must faster 
than anyone can steal or destroy

Aufie Zophy

Y/.. A Restfull Mind

the sounds of the sea 
are softly soothing my soul; 
I try to stop the thoughts train 
just for awhile; I close my eyes; 
a healing energy flows though me; 
a dose of liveliness 
is injected in my tired heart; 

the train of thoughts 
seems a bit impatient to start back: 
but I pray for silence 
I pray for peace 
and only one word 
keeps propping up 
in my restful mind: 

Kindness

Aufie Zophy

Y/.. Sandbanks In The River Of Love

The river of love flows 
from its inexhaustible source 
Sandbanks slow it down 

That sandbank of greed 
That sandbank of pessimism 
That sandbank of narcissism 

Bulldoze the sandbanks away 
Let the river of love flow 
from its source inexhaustible 

The world needs more love 
and less sandbanks 
Bulldoze the sandbanks 

and let the river flow 
Bulldoze the sandbanks 
and let the river of love flow

Aufie Zophy

Y/.. Winds Of Wisdom

Let the winds of wisdom 
Fill my heart with a flow of love 
Let them feed the flame of my soul 

Let them blow from the east 
From the west and south and north 
From every side and from above 

Let the warm winds of wisdom 
Whistle their wonderful song in my ears 
Let them blow, let them flow 

Let them touch my skin, reach deep into my lungs 
Penetrate my mind and move my spirit. 
Let the winds of wisdom blow and flow.

Y/.. Magic In Twilight

Softly engulfed in pastel orange hues 
purplish small clouds were drawn 
on the sky's canvas above the wavy sea 

I entered the pleasantly warm sea water; 
was floating on the breaking waves 
while the magic colour play continued 

There is truly magic in twilight. 
Beauty... 
Peace...

Y/... The Song Of The Bees

I was sitting in a long and lazy chair 
Enjoying the afternoon’s heat 
With a breeze of lovely fresh air 
And a book, a wonderful read 

When out of the high branches of the trees 
On my shoulder landed a swarm of bees 
One of them climbed up near to my ear 
What she whispered was amazing to hear; 

“You know my human friend, we bees are quite wise 
We like to work and make some honey, so nice 
We visit the flowers every day of our life 
No way we just sit and relax in our hive” 

I thought that was a great message of the little bee 
I thanked her for sharing her wisdom with me 
She smiled and crawled back to my shoulder 
Another one came up who looked a little bit older: 

“Did you know my lovely, human brother 
We bees care very much for one another 
If one little bee hurts, no matter young or old 
She is never left alone” was what I was told. 

I was excited for all this wisdom to hear 
From a group of little bees, so close to my ear 
But this was not yet where it would end 
Because up came another bee-ish friend: 

“My kind human companion, did you know 
Every day, every bee will make a bow 
For we always thank our Creator so great 
For every flower and all that He has made” 

I was amazed to hear all this, more than a bit 
These bees were so wise, no doubt about it 
I wanted to hear so much more of my bee-bee friends 
But soon they flew away and that’s where the story ends.

Y/... Cup Of Enthusiasm

The morning sun rises 

Its silky warmth kisses my skin 
Soft yellow rays fly straight to my heart 
Exquisite colors make the sky smile 
What a wonderful way for a day to start 

I drink a cup of enthusiasm 
Freshly plucked from the most beautiful tree 
And the loving winds of care and kindness 
Carry me to a place where the world needs me 

A day of sweet labor, coming from deep within 
A positive difference joyously made 
A satisfied soul, peace taking over my mind 
The trees still smile, the light doesn’t fade

Aufie Zophy

Y/... The Loneliest

Can we all think today, right now 
about the loneliest person we know 
in this whole wide world? 
And give them visit or call? 

We are never too late 
to make a positive change.

Aufie Zophy

Y/.. A Diamond Bird

A diamond bird 
Flaps its diamond wings 
A thousand rainbows 
Dance on the white sand 
The blue sea dizzy 

A diamond bird 
Lands on my shoulder 
I grab its feet 
A look in my eyes 
A whisper 

A diamond bird 
A thousand rainbows 
I 'd like to possess 
But set it free 
And nature smiles

Aufie Zophy

Y/... A Little Poem With No Title

Once we are aware that we find 
only in altruism true peace of mind 
we will live with total focus on that 
and leave the selfishness for the mad

Aufie Zophy

Y/... If The Moon Could Dream

If the moon could dream 
the moon would dream 
that you and me 
filled would be 

with unconditional love 

the moon has sung it for so long 
in moon's amazing windy wavy song 
of fine white light 
the song of the night

Aufie Zophy

Y/... Saved

The sweet fragrance 
of a white frangipani flower 
showing her yellow heart 

I was seduced 
Enticed to pluck 
The urge to possess 

An idea of wilt and death 
Came flying just in time 
To prevent a deadly pluck

Aufie Zophy

Y/... India

A village by the river 
colourful houses adorn 
the peaceful streets 
beautiful smiling faces 
steps down to the river 
a woman in bright sari 
washing clothes 
savouring India 
in all its glory 
happy people 
glorious feelings

Aufie Zophy

Y/... Finding Beauty

If we are focused on 
negativity and ugliness 
we will find 
negativity and ugliness 

but 

if we are focused on 
positivity and beauty, 
positivity and beauty 
we will find

Aufie Zophy

Y/... Flowers

Flowers are meant for beauty 
If we give them more attention 
More beauty enters our life

Aufie Zophy

Y/... Love And Peace

A red rose with heart shaped petals smiled at me 
blissful love was flowing, it was so easy to see 
Its strength drove away a black ant from its stalk 
Instead a snow white dove landed and started to walk 

My whole world became wonderful white and red 
Peace and love, love and peace, soul and heart 
were joining together and singing the sweet ballad 
of the place where white dove and red flower met

Y// Soul Lost Control

Oh God, 
Is this the kind of lessons you want me to learn. 
In the heat of the brunt I may not see the lesson 
I lost the control of my soul 
My ego reigned and proudly 
It took over all buttons 
Why my God, 
Why 
My God, 
I need your help 
I need your wisdom 
Oh my God,

Aufie Zophy

Y// The Magic Of Dawn

It is always pleasant to be outside 
during these very special moments 
where the dark of the night 
gives way to the day's light 

Wonderful thoughts enter my mind 
A soft breeeze, oh so kind 
caresses my cheeks, plays with my hair 
Palpable magic sits in the air 

Un-name-able beauty 
hangs everywhere in the sky 
A heart full of grace to be 
here, not in my bed, but outside

Aufie Zophy

Y// The Beauty Of Reality

I sat in a blue bus, on its side a white line 
We rode through a landscape wonderfully fine 
and a man sitting in the seat in front of me 
was reading the paper absorbing all negativity 
while missing completely the beauty of reality

Aufie Zophy

Y// The Cat And The Wall

A boy tried to climb over a wall 
The wall was not very tall 
But perhaps the most slippery of all 

The boy tried and tried and tried 
But failing to get over it was his plight 
A tear came and yes he cried 

A small kitten walked by 
Climbing the wall in one try 
But also, it fell and started to cry 

Meow, never i can get over that 
Meow and soon came mother the cat 
She saw her small baby cat a bit sad 

Climb on my shoulders she said 
And little kitten just did that 
Over the wall went baby and mother cat 

The boy got a brilliant idea that moment 
It was his own home where he went 
He got over the wall with his mother’s help

Aufie Zophy

Y// Very Very

My family 
A lovely wife 
Two lovely sons 
The VVIPs of my heart

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?

*Aufie Zophy*

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

*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.

*Aufie Zophy*

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

*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

*Aufie Zophy*

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

*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

*Aufie Zophy*

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

*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

*Aufie Zophy*

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

*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!

*Aufie Zophy*

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

*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!

*Aufie Zophy*

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

*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.

*Aufie Zophy*
