When you have
to buy time
it's likely
you'd face
some undesirable outcome

The deepest prayer
has no words
for such can't
be located

like the wind felt
but can't be seen
like the veil
that's hidden

the self in worship
faithfully dwells in union
with the Absolute
nothing need be spoken:

the deepest prayer
is in silence heard
by the Universal Receiver
more sublime than any spoken word.

We are drifters in time
carried by its ceaseless tide
which direction it will take
we can't ever decide

so few indeed will say:
' pleasant is the ride':
  the voyage will be rough
  and restless, full of fear and plight

The smile of the old person
    from that of the young does widely differ
    it hides an element of sadness
    which words can't properly utter-

    youth is too proud and too sure
    and knows not yet what it is to suffer
    the Via Dolorosa it hasn't experienced
    it has miles upon miles wisdom to discover

Memory
is more powerful
than reality
despite its unreliability

The billionaire
I truly pity:
he craves
for more
despite his plenty-

he guards his money
like Scrooge did
in literary history-
when he loses
a dollar
he sleeps badly
and curses destiny

and here am I
penniless
in my poverty
yet can find
some moments
to be happy

perhaps
me
he does envy
but he deserves
not my sympathy
