My God is no evil

My God is no evil

My god doesn’t categorize me

As good or bad

Or Right or wrong 

My God will never  

Punish me for bad deeds

My God is pure loving kindness

It’s divine wisdom is encompassing all

It understands

That everyone’s circumstances are different

Everyone comes from different background 

Everyone’s opportunities are different 

Everyone’s challenges are different 

And he therefore never judges me or others 

And then when I ask

What about those sociopaths and psychopaths

Do you love them too 

And my God smiles 

With twinkling mischievous eyes

And says to me 

 “what about you and your mind

Your greed and jealousy 

Your inner negativity ”

And then I know

And I smile back

And this non-judgement 

Makes my God a true diving being of light

 I understand

It’s not him but my own Karma

That creates challenges for me  

That is what I need to focus on 

As I know within my heart 

That Karma is fair and I create it 

And my purpose is 

To achieve purity

Just to nudge closer to my God

A God within 

And a Universal Consciousness 

Of unconditional love 

As it just feels right 

As it just feels liberating 

As it just feels empowering 

As it just feels creative

As it just feels peaceful 

To settle in God’s pure light

Om Shanti

Soulful living

 Depth of desires are rushing through 

Yet we try to meditate on balance

Atrocities and celebrations as part of same book

Yet we tore pages by denying one

We refuse ourselves in its imbalanced state

Find spiritual escapes for peaceful  sake

Yet one thing merging with a polarized steam 

As we  don’t like hurtful feelings

Soul calls for facing truths just they are

Dependencies and Independence are both called for

A Saturnian sadness is powerful and equal

Jupitorial joy can equally be dreadful

Hey soul of mine what you are looking for

Is a story filled with emotional richness

A meaningful cast of dead and living

A colorful plot that is steady and moving

A polarity and balance and everything in between

A book with a page turner mystery unfolding 

Perspectives and perceptions and perceived changes 

A soulful stories with authentic  living

Complex or Simple - You choose

 Education and degrees 

And all the knowledge that I want

I got it all

And I am ready to serve

I am a medical practitioner 

With passion to heal

And I am looking forward 

To meet and treat and feel 

With evaluations and diagnosis 

I know what I have to do 

And with my treatment plan and reassessments 

I can make miracles too

Yet when I enter real world 

With insurance led processes

I need to document a lot 

And document some more

And I feel my patients

Needs more of this and that

But things become complex  

Systemic confusions to follow that

The whole system needs repair 

With upholding individual perspective 

As each patient is individual 

With its own unique needs

And nurses and CNAs 

And all the medical staff

Have huge difficult responsibilities 

But doesn’t get compensated like that

An underserved staff

Treating complex system it feels

And this system has energies

Of confusion not clarity

So oh dear patient

You stand up for yourself 

You advocate for your family

And what is right for them

You make a stance for justice

And with your own efforts in 

The whole system will change

To more simplified version

As I am a medical practitioner 

And just like me everyone in the field

Who wants to treat you as you

And not some complex system

Love and Light

Obligation

 You asked me to come and I said yes

I said yes as that is what I am supposed to do 

And then we came and you showed excitement 

Yet a discomfort obligation was seeping through

I went home and called you in few days

And said you come over next Sunday

You said yes and I faked excitement 

As I was returning the favor as I was supposed to

This exchange of favors and Karmic entanglement 

Crazy cycle of obligation continued for  years

An exchange of favors, niceties and expectations  

I am sure it was boring thing equally for you 

Yet we engaged by societal pressure 

To attend those parties weekend after weekend

I wish I stayed home and read my books

You must have missed your creative times too

Such an energy no pleasing to me

And I am sure it was not pleasing to you as well

So let’s stop this waste of energetic exchange

As there are so many better things for both of us to do

Lata Ji

Blessed by Roots

And so much grace

You came on earth

To transform music 

And with it 

To transform people

With your soulful voice 

And innate simplicity 

You reached to millions

Not just through your voice 

But also with your character 

That taught us 

How to live with purest intentions

I am sure

You won’t care for a bit 

For this formal glory 

At the end of your time

On earth here

Yet this outpouring of love

That your soul must have felt

Would bring hues of so many deeper connections 

You have made with us here 

With a service like this 

Lata Ji

I am sure 

You are resting In Peace!

Regression

Like a pale decaying leaf

Swirling deep down 

With contemplative agony 

Holding so tight to ground

A sad and mad wind

And even shorter days

A comfort in disharmony 

With its odd whimsical ways 

I stay here for a while

Enjoying  this depressing comfort

A contemplative safety 

In a dry & a dark humor

And once I rest for a Day

Or Months or Years per say 

I grow a little warmer

From colder inner fire

Then blossoms a spring of hope

My soul is ready to explore 

So I sprung out of my shadows 

To reach towards my source

With a swirling swirls of joy

Friendlier hands holding me tight

I don’t even feel shy

In this happy & colorful sight

Yet in midst of these glorious 

Bright and light surroundings

I sense a loss of self

When I step out of my boundaries 

So now it’s time to hibernate

Rest is calling me out

I go back to my inner cave 

As darker just feels right 

This is how cycle circles

With no end in sight

I grow and regress some more 

In these cyclical times!

Where is the soul

With chairs after chairs

And desks after desks 

The dull withered smell 

In Modern office space

No sight of true beauty

A lost aesthetic soul

A placement of plant in the corner 

Yet no warmth-  just cold

there is that dissonant clicking

An energy so ungrounded 

And flashy bold images

virtual world so bounded 

A desperate feeling of stuckness

In a paralyzed life

And where is the soul

Artistically inclined 

We are stroking within

These fuming chemical field 

No sparkle of nature 

No simple organic life

where is our soul 

A deeper connection to places

As we are not enchanted 

Just mechanical in showcases

Where is the soul

A true enchanting experience 

The artists within us

So nurturing and breathing

So where is the soul 

Soul of an artist

Soul of pure breath

Soul of intimate friendships

Soul of fairy lands

Soul of rainy forests

Soul filled with aromas

And earthy magical places

Soul full of love

That grows and glows with laughter

And playful mischievous smiles

dancing graceful heartbeats 

A soul filled with prayers 

A soul filled with gentleness

A soul like a wild wind 

A soul filled with magic
