Ever green love

I am the soul which sheds eternal light,
Shady ignorance evaporate enabling to stet,
Walty to knowledge, garb removed reality,
I realize I am part of the Universal Mind.

Peace evade the mind with umpteen desires,
Misery creep upon innumerable wishes,
Flimsy temporal cravings stall peace.

Ever spreading sky: vast, immeasurable,
A great man like the sky, is immeasurable.
He craves peace.  Universal peace.

Rivers ever flow towards the sea, deep.
They lose the identity there.  Liberation!

Merge with the Almighty like the rivers.
Rivers have different names, but lose
The names when they reach the sea.

Brahma allows to forget our identity
The springs of ignorance dry up to give
Eternal tranquility.  No pride, no goo.

Half baked knowledge torture the mind,
Witness to sensual feelings remain detached.

Time to spread the light of love ever green,
erase all borders to be ever one.

I loved it

Oh you make me feel young again as you say youngster and only if I could turn back to the times of "A Star is Born" with Kris and Barbara singing together. That was in my twenties when life was not full of bills and house problems. LOL I am 5 years away from retirement and looking forward to it every year more. And yes age instills philosophy and with it comes many years of experiences in life and events, and much wisdon. I like your writings Sir. Good day to you and yours. Love,Mona xoxoxo

Evergreen

Evergreen mind. Age doesn't matter. Flashes of ideas coming to the mind make one a poet. From where they come? Only from your mind. No retirement for us. Life's end alone is the retirement. Wish you health and peace.

Dear U.K.Atiyodi

This really is beautiful ... only suggestion I would make? is make the ever green into 'evergreen' one word with age comes wisdom as the world folds itself showing her many facets revealing her secrets love and hugs JayCee ("Quote:-For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.-Ivan Panin")

Dear serenon, Heart conceals good as well as the evil. The wide open smile of a flower might hide venom. Beauty is skin deep unless it rises from the heart. Your words have a strange beauty of holiness. Thanks for using such words.
