.
Smoothly is an utopian dream
and therein lies the troubles,
we are all set upon our paths,
all individual bouncing bubbles.

Each and every one of us
has our own journey to tread,
and the differences in our bodies
are matched by those in our head.

So accept the person you are,
into your being melt and immerse,
ignore smooth, embrace the rough,
revel in the beauty of being diverse.

A lone kingfisher
Meditates on lotus bud
Fish in the pond springs

Tigress walks her cubs
Ferocious, in her ways
Grooms with love, to prey

A stag in the woods
Flies with swiftness of the wind
Sacred its antlers

To live
Learn to live without

Desires and wishes
You have to think beyond

The fear that you have lived with
Within, you ought to give up on
No, it’s not a cake walk song

Losing an ego
Doesn’t make you any weak
You have won hearts, after all

For once and all
You ought to be strong

To live
Learn to live without

To drink the sweet water
Walk up to the river
It seldom streams into your home
