MUSIC OF THE HEART

My days feel like years
My years feel like days
My smile hurts like tears
My tears smoothen my ways
My hopes are also my fears
My fears are my other Ayes
My inner eyes are my ears
They hear every music that plays.

WHAT HUMANS CAN DO

A.I. can only do
What has been done before

Only humans
Can do truly new things

Spirit, give me more –
New hearts beat on different strings.
Spirit, give me those things
That only human spirits can do.

TIMING

We will
tell the time

and the time
will tell us.

TIME WILL TELL

Time is such a strange thing. We always forget how long it is. One day you will change and you will look back and ask yourself Why. Why did I do that? Why did I not do that? Why did I say that? Why did I not say that? Why. Was it really worth it?

If it was, you will know and you will be happy. If it wasn’t, you will know and you will be sad.

But only time will tell you what your heart is still too blind or too stubborn or too immature to see today.

MARCH TOWARDS APRIL

So many things ending in my life this month, as March ends. And so many things starting. Looking forward to April. Is my heart big enough to contain and bear it all? Yes, my heart is always big enough. And when it isn’t, it simply grows some more, grows again.

Aries, as ever, you end the old and bring the new. For me, to me, in me.

BONDS

We belong to God,
Not to one another.
Possessiveness is flawed,
No one owns the other.

HEARTPEACE

She wanted to go with peace in her heart
And I decided to give her that peace -
Let there be peace in you when you part;
If there’s a heaven, it is of it an inner piece
And it is the only way to make a new start.

STOP ACCEPTING LIES

Stop accepting lies
Dressed up as niceness –
Humiliation lies
In falsehood, not kindness.
Empty conversations
Masking your blindness –
A Disappointed Soul
Will answer with silence.

LEARNING

Take your time to know.
Find your space to grow.
Time and space are seeds you sow
To reap maturity tomorrow.
