The matters of the heart and mind
Keep you suppressed,
Let them to be out.
What it happens, takes place
Inside
That must be let out and shared,
Poetry is feelings and emotions,
Thoughts and ideas.
I mean meditative reflection and cosmic contemplation,
A proper realisation of Om,
The Soul and the Supreme Soul, Atman and Parmatman,
Pran-vayu, Life-spirit, Jivan-dhara, Life-consciousness,
Papa-punya, sin and virtue,
Worldly and meataphysical, bodily and heavenly things.
Meditate, meditate and reflect upon,
Try to relaise and feel within
The Existence,
the Divine Existence and Providence of His,
Whose bounties and blessings we can see manifest
In the things varied and variegated.
