ideas to action

start deep within
conviction grows
and simmmers
on an auspicious
eventful day
it delivers

Shivarartri

sitting by the sea
 awaken compassion
listen to me
place your ear
in the proper direction
and your sympathies
will be heard in heaven
find the center of all exsistance
a vortex there will give you assistance
simply pray and purify your heart
kindness immeasurable
will give you a start
allow me to chant those names divine
 allow the cleansing to make us shine
fruits be born to offer thee
teach us to bow with integrity
help me offer You something
pleasing You eternally
always in the end i must see
just a beggar in front of Thee
wayward mind and feeble means
how can i bring joy to the Divine
lest You grant Your sanction sublime

must be grace

so little, so uninspired, so grave
this little time to remember things so brave
comfortable  in nescience like a pig
but one upward thought could remove a world of din
lathed in waves of a continued dulling spell
 to remember divine oh to remember at all
i find this day is not so small
hidden within this unit of time
 the memory of a great devotee sublime
lift me out of my self made mud
the lord of material energy can diffuse this crud
awaken purpose to this fallen jiva
a world of dedication is not far away
stop this evernecient stray
teach me how to dedicate each day
and find value in everything the Lord does say
