THE LITTLE GATE OF THE HEART
*
The little gate of the heart..
to keep it open is an art
... it shuts so quickly
from thoughtless speech
driving loved ones apart
*
STAIRWAY
*
From the fairway
he saw the glowing stairway
Acts of love from far away
point to the heaven starway.
*
HOMELESS
*
Twice this writer
has asked God about
whether or not to
give a homeless person
a room in my dwelling.
The first time I opened
in the many hundred paged
Ramayana to
"You have not yet learnt
the mantras by which to
expel demons."
Of the second person
the answer in the Bible
was "I was a stranger
and you took me in."
*
RAMPANT ON THE BEACH
*
A vision of 2 horses facing
each other on the beach...
rampant (standing on hind legs
with their forelegs in the air).
The hooves of their 4 front
legs framed the sun rising
between them.
*
STARRY CURTAIN
*
The Milky Way drew
its cloudy curtain
over brighter stars.
*
The milk of cows
dulls human intelligence.
