Golden One
My Guru sits engulfed
in warm golden light –
the curtains, the yellow blanket
covering his chair, his jacket –
all this night are golden.
He has taken a chill, and sneezed.

a white hat (looking like a chick
emerging from its egg),
and golden gloves,
leaving his arms uncovered.
He emanates golden Light
from the heart of the [...]

I cannot tell a lie
Happiness gives me infinitely more satisfaction

Piercing the stillness of space,
She watches eternally.
Mountains stand regal below
Peaks climbing skyward
Steeply they rise
To encircle the night.
Like chords they reverberate
Infinity’s Peace.
Tears flood my eyes
As in silence [...]
