Wheel of life

Why do you worry on this joy ride,
Afraid to lose the mask you hide?
Tired of screens, evading the light,
Or lacking courage to face the night?

There’s one Sun, the world depends,
He knows his path, his journey’s end.
You are one in billions, true,
Yet the world spins without you.

Remember, each cog in the wheel,
Is vital, its role surreal.
What you do here makes the way,
But worry not, seize the day.

Mother

She has no mind that’s hers alone,
Works with the thoughts the people own.

Good to the kind and to the flawed,
True goodness in her heart is awed.

Trusts those faithful, trusts those not,
True trust is what she’s always sought.

Her mind, like space, vast and clear,
Misunderstood, yet ever near.

In her wisdom, all confide,
She is understanding, far and wide.

Free spirit

In quest of knowledge, we gain each day,
In spiritual practice, we let go, they say.
Less and less force, till non-action is found,
In doing nothing, completeness is crowned.
True mastery flows, by letting things be,
Uninterfered, it sets the spirit free.
