Wheel of life

                                                 Till where does the river flow till when the stars surcease to shine So must circle the wheel of life  till when the mountain must stand till when the oceans subsist So must turn the wheel of time till when the body bonds to the soul so long as life exists, and the living be Must art remain, and the feelings flow May the hearts beat in tune with the living and the gifts be spread throughout Love and loss and death and rebirth faith and companion and success and play must each spoke of the wheel turn its way And till when the wheels are given free rein May all the living remain.

Of the Material and the Spiritual

 Where has passion ever grown?
Where stream of tears hasn't flown.

Where has desire ever sown?
Where acquiescence was condoned.

Where have I ever burned?
Without pathetic angst and wild rapture.

True love burns in passion,
That gives rise to creation.

True devotion douses in dispassion,
That which leads to dissolution.

How unworldly it is to be serene?
How rarely is the womb of existence seen?

In this world, our prime essence is in suffering,
For love, for passion, for desire and for creation.

Bliss is an illusion of the day,
And my essence is as nameless as the unmoving ether.

The material world is ephemeral,
Serenity with impassivity is alone eternal.
