This Day I Am Born

In your deepest self there lies awakening
Growing and evolving all the time
Opening and reassociating
At ever higher levels of the mind

In your deepest heart there is a silence
Beating with a mindful rhythmic grace
Asking you to listen to it’s secrets
Open to receive it’s gentle space

Deep within the soul that you are feeling
In the quiet moments that you give
Lies a nourishment that brings you healing
Welcomed by the mind’s desire to live

Life wells from within and rises gently
Soaking up through spongey open cells
Flooding all the senses, taking over
Rippling past a thousand silent bells

Vibrations of a pure, divine order
Shudder through this extraneous form
Radiance, bequeathed to my acceptance
Comes alive in me – this day, I’m born

In My Loving Service to You

Inspired by Sri Chimnoy, from Seventy Seven Thousand Service Trees

The beauty of self-giving
Eventually grows into
The fragrance of God-becoming.

Sri Chinmoy, Seventy Seven Thousand Service Trees, part 10, #18

In my loving service to you
Let me be gratified in depths before unknown
Unreached by chimes of playful servitude

Let me experience the need of my soul
To give truly, unexceptionally, perfectly
Without the mask of human intervention

Let me be released through giving to the joy of your true gratitude
That welcomes all who come with gentle determination to be truly free

In my loving service to you
Let me be taken apart and rendered unimaginable without you

In my loving service to you
Let me at last in sincerity abide
Let me at last to your wholeness attend
Let me at last bequeath my wanting to your waiting heart
And commit at last to wanting only you

Your intrinsic heaven is your constant gift to all who seek for meaning in it’s only home
Your intrinsic wholeness is the life that beats it’s constant glorious drum
Harmonising with Itself, attuning to it’s own accession with everything that it counts in as it’s own

Allow me to include myself in this heavenly, uniting chorus.
Allow me to experience myself as truly part of your whole, expressive joy

Help me allow myself release of every boundary I have clung to
As I learn to give myself, through my loving service
To the guiltless ardour of your eternally encompassing arms

Heaven is the decision I must make. I make it now and will not change my mind, because it is the only thing I want.
