Age Quod Agis
27 January 2017
I wanted to share with you a lesson learnt from an anecdote from my life and a prayer as a gift.
We often hear the motto “practice what you preach” and if you look around you, hardly anyone is really willing to do that. You can see this reluctance in every domain from the personal, to the social, to the political to the religious and even to the spiritual.
I don’t think I need to even go into the detail of how we fail this motto on all those levels. Suffice to say that if you look at the world and take a really good look, the examples are so clear they’re almost a slap in the face. You can of course turn the other cheek or believe me when I say that the examples of failing that motto are really numerous.
Taking a step back, I realised that I had always wondered whether one could actually truly live this motto even when faced with dire personal circumstances and the wise ones will always caution you “be careful what you wish for” because you might just get it. Now laden with lessons but never with regret, I stand wiser and know that while in that distorted pattern of mathematics that one tries to term economics the past is not an indicator of future performance, it stands very true on the level of all that is natural, including for humans. The past is an indicator of what went wrong if your present is not quite what you wanted it to be. While not all may be able to see beyond and understand what could possibly go wrong in the now, some whom we may call visionary are given to see without seeing what could go wrong in what we are doing now. Some may wish to speak the truth seen and some may just hold their peace.
Another motto that I really like and that comes to me from my childhood school called “Good Shepherd Convent” in India is “Age Quod Agis” and I think it is a beautiful motto so I thought that I should share it as well with you. I would add that whatever you are doing, do it with Love which would equate to doing it the right way. If Love cannot be a part of what you are doing, then you are not doing the right thing altogether.
I pray that we will always learn from our past be it today or tomorrow and would like to gift you this prayer in the form of an intent to overcome karma, to retrieve soul memory and to heal from not just the past but also from any future afflictions. If you like it and it resonates with you, please feel free to share it and/or to link to it within your blogs or other social media.

Joining Sky and Earth
2 April 2016
The choices
They create craters
Caving loss
Felt in soul
Never again to be whole
Beliefs from the fear
I hold dear
Remnants of the skies
They pulsate
Within me
Through the air my heart dilate
Setting my soul free
The choices
They are more than faith
Measured steps
In blood flow
We reap only what we sow
Our hands kindness tools
Earthen rules
They speak of bounty
Made heavy
Weight of gold
The hindrance more than was told
Within dark whispers
Glowing choice
Forgiveness in heart
Love music
Symphony
In letting go of the reigns
A sky-bound rebirth
Heaven’s voice
Mother speaks through me
Energy
Deep healing
Flowing fast through my blue veins
Joining Sky and Earth

Blue women
We were born from skies
Our souls free
Our hearts glee
Fires coursing through our hands
Caressing healing
Our mouths say
Anet hrak nut pray
Sky mother
She watches
Fierce though gentle our footsteps
As we walk in love
We roam Earth
Accumulation
Of flavours
Joys and pains
Sum of experiences
Swords of love beaten
All birthing
Is laden with beats
Churning flow
Melding glow
The wave forms as it repeats
Ebb and tide of moons
We birth slow
Enchantment our toll
Breath magic
Easing soft
Into light bodies we know
Ultimate journey
Shimmering
Gathered momentum
Breathtaking
The twirling
My mind resumes the whirling
Infinite reaches
You reach out
Heavenly lover
Night borne wisps
Breath of Gods
The twitching light bodies flames
Suffuse our bright frames
In mortals
You show your design
Mere vessels
They transmit
Your divine blue intentions
As we fly to you
Feathers Blue
Flutter ecstatic
Withstanding
All weathers
In touch with etheric selves
Consorts for the Gods

Your shapes’ ambrosia
30 January 2016
Son of none
Father of the Sun
Your Priestess
Wife, Mistress
Mother of the holy cow
Calls upon you now
Flesh and bone
Cover the spirit
Breathe in me
Souls so free
The Ancient Times revisit
My staff now bestow
Breathing low
Close the boiling pit
We are one
The loves glow
Every pilgrim fear to shun
Dive in morrows’ slit
Awaken
The time has now come
We are free
Together
We will sketch our love in sands
Of Eternal Times
Your spirit
Precursor of bond
Glowing star
Flowing robes
Between us the timeless ropes
Passion of lifetimes
Look through me
See the Nile flowing
Off my heart
Through my soul
We will be together whole
Loneliness outcast
Sing with me
Voice of Nightingales
Echoing
Haunting
Remnants of memories swaying
Within our bosoms
Sum of all
Path to the doorways
Lead us now
Out of past
Welded into nothingness
Your glory recall
Hail my flanks
Their valleys truth’s mist
Shower me
Light and Sparks
Call flow of my river’s banks
Molten ecstasy
Tenth wonder
Elevate my creed
The child slain
In dark greed
Wash away his mother’s pain
Spread our children’s seed
Feed my soul
Your shapes’ ambrosia
Liquefy
My edges
Dilate within me bridges
To flowing castles
Twelve nights breathe
Moons and sandalwood
Our union
Morrows’ light
Every being growing sight
Healing our landscapes

Cleopatra seduces Caesar – Jeff Beal (images from The mummy)
Bells will ring pealing roar in elegy
21 January 2016
The tuning of love few delicate wires
A me and a do and so many cuts
Of heart felt the true not the peacock’s struts
Slight flight of the dove in cage of desires
The push and the shove old caveman admires
A hundred years too compound his sore guts
The warning cuckoo despairs timeless ruts
Of velvet the glove then welded by fires
I walk on the edge of a tight street rope
On right the healing soars with energy
On border of ledge still uphill the slope
Knee sore from kneeling bonded the clergy
Renewing the pledge with balance to cope
Bells will ring pealing roar in elegy

Healing prayer
28 December 2015
As the New Year approaches and the old one fades into space somewhere in between atoms, I thought we should welcome the New Year with Healing wishes for the Earth and for all of us so I decided to recite another Dreamtime prayer.
I am publishing it early because I am not sure I will have time to write blogs before the New Year although I suspect I just may find enough time to do that. Let me elaborate a bit more on what I mean by Dreamtime.
For those who are not aware yet, most of my poetry flows and I feel like I am not fully the creator of the images and stanzas that flow on their own somehow (a strange sensation) and I feel very much like what I imagine could have spurred Rumi (one of my favourite poets) to write the poem “Who says words with my mouth” that I have also shared on this blog.
Perhaps all poets have this strange sensation when they write poetry that simply flows out of them and will not be contained. A lot of my poetry flows to me after a night’s sleep or a short nap with some even spurred by daydreaming. I have coined this as Dreamtime art because it is so linked with the sleep mode of my brain or sometimes the extremely relaxed mode (paradoxically extreme emotions can also cause the same flowing reaction but not always on the positive side).
In the same way that most of my poetry is connected to Dreamtime, I often dream about prayers with positive intent. Originally the prayers were mainly in French, English or Arabic but of recent I dream in other languages that I am not normally familiar with. For some reason I am certain they are prayers because I have been able to retrace some of the words to actual meanings on the web though I am not sure the other words are from the same language because the web simply comes up with nothing when I google the other words. Another reason that makes me feel this way is because I also get a wonderful, powerful feeling of a presence that identifies as the mother of all and indicates to me this is a positive intent prayer. Of course the rational mind’s description of this would be completely different I gather but for now we will stay with the irrational mind of the Heart.
Regarding this prayer, what I can say is it is meant to be a healing prayer. If any of you bloggers reading can make sense of the prayer as recited below and translate it, I would be much obliged. Else just enjoy it and allow the words to pervade you and heal you if possible 🙂

A way to be
17 December 2015
Look upon your inner light
Letting go more than the fight
Healing angels wing their way
So give in to love and play
And if you trust yourself enough
You’ll find life’s not so tough
On the road to agony
In memories’ key
You’ll found the way to ecstasy
A way to be
The road may seem so tiresome
I know you feel so lonesome
You think this road just glass and shards
You feel the pieces your soul discards
But if you trust yourself enough
You’ll find life’s not so tough
On the road to agony
In memories’ key
You’ll found the way to ecstasy
A way to be
When you think that light has gone
Know you’re not out there alone
Feel the angels walk beside
All throughout the rocky ride
And if you trust yourself enough
You’ll find life’s not so tough
On the road to agony
In memories’ key
You’ll found the way to ecstasy
A way to be
I believe in you and me
We are more than what we see
I believe in our strong heart
May its courage never depart
And if we trust ourselves enough
We’ll find life’s not so tough
On the road to agony
In memories’ key
We’ll find the way to ecstasy
A way to be
And if we trust ourselves enough
We’ll find life’s not so tough
On the road to agony
In memories’ key
We found the way to ecstasy
A way to be
I have not included a YouTube song yet because I am making this poem a song which I will include once I have sung it and in fact it started out like a song in my head before I wrote it as a free verse poem. Bear with me because I am not a singer but would really like to get this melody and the lyrics out there because it made me feel good so I thought it might help others feel good too
This was recorded as a memo on my phone because my usual camcorder was not working. Be kind and constructive with your criticism 😀
The Flaming Doves on my face draw Light
13 November 2015
.
Looking back, rubble and ash faded
Walking in sun the herd more than one force transmission
.
Pulsing through the night, destiny’s skies
I guide, we sow the seeds of change in fall’s universe
.
Oracle survives change, knows sees dreams
Mother protects visions, my mind frees, the blind alone
.
Carry me through burning sun jaded
You made my faith, mother, love forever my mission
.
.
Take away darkness end submission
End suffering, brace me healing light now pervaded
.
.
Time’s pearls, wasted stars, I will atone
Lonely show me, beyond space, might and light I sew seams
.
Cross Heart with angels, design reverse
Hear timeline redefine souls come home theory lies
.
The Flaming Doves on my face draw Light
Loud I speak: the greater the Dawn, the starker the Night

Healing lines my Heart

Walk unto altars
No sacrifice but the Grace
Of Blue requiems
Sing the nightingale
Twenty sparrows talked to crows
Of deserts’ pirates
Walk across the dunes
To the solitary grounds
Where angels wept tears
Enter your Temple
Within the sands of Time’s flow
Flaming bush whispers
Walk over the waters
Ebb and flow will set you free
Humble is the Pi
Breathe into the Ground
The fumes of tomorrow’s Life
As I set the Breath
.
Walk into the skies
Let the airborne meet the Tunes
Silenced Chimera
Red was the sea’s glint
As she touched the sky-bred Flames
Breathing in the rain
Walk astride the Times
When her hair loose hung in grapes
Wine for the living
Blue was the sky’s Breath
Wings crossed the Ocean’s timelapse
A second coming
Walk under the stones
Crushing is the morrow’s grief
If countdown went wrong
More than a sole Head
Bellerophon my hand’s art
Healing lines my Heart
.
Lord of the Rings – The Grace of Undómiel
Solitary Ground – Epica
This is the Time – Epica
