I see the softness in the
glow of the morning star
and there's nothing to sulk
when the glow gives in
on arrival of the morning sun
The point is to be present
Nature has its sweet rhythm
and it doesn't bend or break
for anyone's whims and fancies
There is religion in birds
for each sing their own prayers
some only twice in the day
at the dawn and the dusk
and some all through the day
All the monstrous acts
that defy humankind, such as
a Hitler’s tyranny, could not
have thrived in a monastery
A dog will wag its tail
A cat will slow-blink its eyes
when you call their name
And expecting otherwise
will only give in to our vices
And so is it with people
Attention, imagination, hope,
and more than anything,
kindness - all must be pursued
with as much diligence and worry
as objects of impermanence
Self-enquiry is the
only surest way forward
And how far one can see,
in the direction of well-being
will determine how well we
want to live our everyday life
