My Silence-Heart Blossoms, part 1

January

January 1st

```

Silence-blossoms have awakened my mind.

My tears and God's Smiles clasped I find. ```

January 2nd

```

My orphan tears begin my day.

My princely smiles blaze the Way. ```

January 3rd

```

I keep my heart's streaming tears

Sleeplessly alive,

So that my Lord's beaming Smiles

In me can thrive. ```

January 4th

```

Energised by my self-improvement task,

In my Lord's Transcendent Sun-Flames I bask. ```

January 5th

```

Obedience longs to feed the Lord

Infinitely more.

Self-deleted, fastest it runs, arrives

And touches the Shore. ```

January 6th

```

I shall climb up

My soul's dream-flooded staircase.

Endless obstacles

Dauntless my heart shall face. ```

January 7th

```

Fastest runs to the Goal Supreme

My Lord's Love-Train.

Singing and dancing, therein my breath —

No bondage-chain. ```

January 8th

```

Be not empty of light and joy,

My foolproof mind.

Heavenward race you never win,

Always behind. ```

January 9th

```

His Face, my face, my Lord together saw,

And said, "Yours is perfect like Mine, no flaw." ```

January 10th

```

Ecstasy-flooded is the road of Love divine,

Divinity's oneness-fulness-sun-shrine. ```

January 11th

```

God is weeping for you;

Oh, do not cry.

You are bound to succeed:

Just once more try. ```

January 12th

```

Each time I shake hands with hostile desires,

My God-oneness-visa-delight expires. ```

January 13th

```

Battered by teeming doubts

And blinding fears,

I compel my Lord Supreme

To swim in tears. ```

January 14th

```

Break not your God-gratitude-promise-height;

Yours will be Infinity's Silence-Light. ```

January 15th

```

The starved desires that stormed my mind

Are now deceased, left far behind. ```

January 16th

```

Only in God's Orbit I choose to live,

And my mind-thorns, heart-fragrance I shall give. ```

January 17th

```

When God's God-deep Love-Light-Fragrance appears,

To the Golden Shore His dream-life-boat man steers. ```

January 18th

```

Oh, if I never fail my Lord,

Oh, if I never fail,

His Heart will be eager to know

My life's every detail. ```

January 19th

```

Alas, like me, God also has bad days,

And more so when I doubt

His all Compassion-Eye, Forgiveness-Heart.

Totally insane I shout. ```

January 20th

```

God comes to me

Precisely in the form I need.

Him I must feed

The way His Heart wants me to feed. ```

January 21st

```

God pressures my mind

Because of its stark unwillingness-flow.

God treasures my heart

Because of its sleepless eagerness-glow. ```

January 22nd

```

Silence I choose to play with my heart-flames.

Every single day my monkey-mind God tames. ```

January 23rd

```

An immediate 'Yes!' to God's every Command,

O my hesitant mind, from you I demand. ```

January 24th

```

Heaven is so far from the human mind,

But the heart is extremely close.

Heaven commands the mind to halt its journey,

And calls the heart its rose. ```

January 25th

```

With my gratitude heart-tears and smiles

My Lord I greet.

My Lord gives me His All,

The moment I clasp His Feet. ```

January 26th

```

Delight is born of obedience-willingness;

Perfection born of sleepless, selfless oneness. ```

January 27th

```

My sunlit path, no fog, no cloud can hide.

My heart-flames enjoy God's sunrise-ride. ```

January 28th

```

My soul has silenced my stark confusion-mind;

Peace-bliss-blossoms within, without I find. ```

January 29th

```

Life is so brief, alas, life is so brief.

Why delay in catching ignorance-thief? ```

January 30th

```

Before I compose my God-worship-song,

My heart strikes His Compassion-Victory-Gong. ```

January 31st

```

Since God is God's Forgiveness-Breath,

I must declare my ego's death. ```

February

February 1st

```

Oh, permit not your ego-lion to roar,

If you desire your heart-bird to soar. ```

February 2nd

```

I know what is great is splendid;

I feel what is good is candid.

Far from God, my splendour-craving mind;

My heart-candour in God's own Breath I find. ```

February 3rd

```

My doubting mind deserves an early death.

My self-giving heart implores God's Nectar-Breath. ```

February 4th

```

No earthly force can be a true remedy,

Only a oneness-heart ready and steady. ```

February 5th

```

My sweet Lord is lonely for my love.

I shall make Him my fondness-dove. ```

February 6th

```

My Lord Himself applauds

My aspiration-comeback.

No more shall I run

On ignorance-studded track. ```

February 7th

```

Ever kind to me my Lord's Forgiveness:

His Justice is all blind to my weakness. ```

February 8th

```

Do not destroy

The sweet fragrance of hope.

It will give you

The Heaven-climbing rope. ```

February 9th

```

Earth's hunger-cry

One soul can feed.

Earth's progress-smile

One soul can speed. ```

February 10th

```

Mankind's freedom-peace-discovery —

Only when no God-faith-robbery. ```

February 11th

```

When our earth-necessities decrease,

Our real God-essentials increase. ```

February 12th

```

God-Satisfaction-Smile-Birds fly

Only when I have a silence-heart-sky. ```

February 13th

```

Doubt is afraid of silence-light.

Doubt surrenders to oneness-delight. ```

February 14th

```

Willingness and eagerness together run the fastest.

To God's Lotus-Feet these two are the nearest. ```

February 15th

```

When God says 'No', my desire-mind-dog cries and cries,

My aspiration-heart-bird high-higher-highest flies. ```

February 16th

```

No more shall I remain

A fallen victim to desire.

Behold!

I now have brought

To the fore my inner fire.

```

February 17th

```

No matter where I go,

My heart carries the rainbow-hopes.

In despair-night-prison,

Mine is the mind that never gropes. ```

February 18th

```

Each time my Lord's Compassion-Eye I see,

A nectar-dream blossoms in our oneness-fulness-sea. ```

February 19th

```

Within, without, the doubting mind lies.

Below, above, the praying heart cries. ```

February 20th

```

Because I want to please my Lord in His own Way,

Surrender-gratitude-game my life must play. ```

February 21st

```

Freedom complete, perfect I love to choose.

To ignorance-night no more my life shall lose. ```

February 22nd

```

Oh, where are you, my heart's fount-delight?

I live in my ruthless mind's destruction-night. ```

February 23rd

```

My Lord, I need the Song

Of Your Compassion-Eye

To catch my jungle-misdeeds

And quickly nullify. ```

February 24th

```

In God's Heart-Garden I grow

With my obedience.

In my heart-nest God glows

With His Confidence. ```

February 25th

```

No more am I in my tear-flooded shore.

I am in my heart's God-blossoming lore. ```

February 26th

```

My perfection rests not upon my skill.

It rests upon my Lord's Compassion-Will. ```

February 27th

```

He who never forgets his goal

Is indeed a Heaven-chosen soul. ```

February 28th

```

My Lord's Sun-Smile-Presence is near and dear

Only when my ego-sword I smash and tear. ```
