Begin

Begin

Search the Depths of your Heart for Love
Seeking in your Spirit for Life;
Challenge the Everyday Clutter and Chaos
That Tries to O’rewhelm you with Strife.

Ask for the Presence of Kindness
To Shine in your Smile Each Day;
Yearn for Compassion to Linger
When indifference tries to steal you away.

Desire Peace to Abide in your breast,
Long for Patience to Remain,
Walk in Joy when the sun shines,
And Smile when Life turns to Rain.

In this way you will Shimmer
And Glow with the Light from Within,
Drawing others to that Sweet Charity;
Come, Bend your Knee, and Begin.

      1. By the way, I am travelling to a place called Rishikesh now, on a photography shoot. I was sitting by the banks of the Ganges (Ganga is how we call the river) ar night, shooting the light dancing on the water. Have you ever thought of writing poetry on the dance of the waters?
