This poem happened when I was laying on the couch and I felt a
sudden surge of vibrant energy, so joyfully filling up my Being.
It made me feel so
alive, so happy! I wanted to share this feeling of creative energy. This
energy, Prana, is our Universal Life
Force, which sustains us all.
I believe, that we
all need to express ourselves. We are all Artists. As my Guru, Swami Sivananda,
would say:
"We are creators of our Destiny"
So lets follow our
Inner Voice, and express our Light: either as Healers, Sages, Doctors, Lawyers,
Businessmen, Artists, etc. As long as we express ourselves truly as we are, we
will be content and healthy. Namaste, we are One…
Expressing Ecstasy
Fertile juices overflowing with Joy
Divine Grace raises my eccentric Ecstasy
Pranic Spirit is bubbling in abundant Excitement
The Life of All is full of Vitality, Strength, Vigour
Accelerating creative Cosmic Inspirations
Sweet expressions of the Self
My Soul is blessed with Happiness
Slightly lifted of the earthly Heaviness
Touched by Divine Will, Divine Intelligence
My hearts desire embraced in Devotional Love
Ecstatic universal life force penetrates my Being
The Krishna flute I Am
Hollow, Empty, Open
Free for a momentary caress by the voice of Immortality
Carrying me into heights of Eternal Bliss Divine
Across the oceanic tears of sorrow in tender Joy
I am in Love with You
Right Now
Again and Again
No matter what
AUM

Beautiful words! And isn't that the challenge - to stay open like the flute? Thank you, Jennieke.
ReplyDeleteFreya, I also mentioned to Jennieke that the flute line was also one of my favorite lines in her poem. Staying open no matter what is indeed a good meditation. Thank you for your comment.
DeleteThank you Freya and Krishna ...I just found this comment...a little late..but still open like the flute..<3
DeleteIt is my favourite line, as well. There is a line that I recycle as my facebook status every so often, mostly as a reminder to myself - "I remain open, regardless of the circumstances, so that Life could flow right through me". My love to everyone.
