The end of one

The end of one

The beginning of another

Life's like that.

How effortful is emergence?

How effortful is emergence?

How stiff, how prolonged

out of the muck?

 

Nothing's absolute

Nothing's absolute

Nothing to apologise for

if nothing's hidden.

 

What lies above

What lies above

What lies below

By the eyes, mind,

heart and soul.

 

Something gives

Something gives

Something gains

Purity spawned off impurities.

 

What's past

What's past

What's left

It ain't matter

for a purity trail.

I want to be like you

I want to be like you

When all else seems to lose out

I dare continue in my bloom.

 

What's not pleasing

What's not pleasing -

Look into its source

Walk in its path -

Not so not-pleasing after all.

What am I now

What am I now

Where am I now

So far now

from root of purity.

 

What's revealed

What's revealed

What's hidden

What matters when intent is pure.

Not different

Not different

but akin

of source of purity.

A beginning

When something ends

something begins

Purity is proffered

another generation.

 

What am I

 

What am I

A truth

A no-name till named.

What is

 

What is 

is what was

What is

Simply true to course.

Settling in is trust

 

Settling in is trust

No other intent

Just pure intent.

Be true, be tall

 

Be true, be tall

Be not apologetic

Truth does invite differences.

Purity of intent

Purity of intent

Single-minded

Undaunted

Untouched.

 

dare to hope

dare to desire

whiteness remains

for ever.

 

So many choices

So many choices

Only intent matters

Pure intent.

 

Birthday of the Lotus

Think not more

Think not less

It is as it is.

 

It's not from where it is

It's not from where it is

that is pure,

Hardly, almost never,

It's how it is,

to what it is.

 

Celebrate what is

Celebrate what is

and more to come

for eyes that see.

 

What holds

What holds 

What gives strength

for purity of intent

on path of intent.

Never one too many

Never one too many

Never one too much

When acquisition is not unnatural.

 

Every move, every shade

Every move, every shade

What plays vital

in pure intent.

 

Natural or crafted

Natural or crafted

Pure beauty

naturally perceptible.

Trail

 

Trail of purity

Cannot be undetected

Cannot be covert.

Scent of the Lotus

 

Scent of the Lotus

and all's well

Maybe only one

Maybe only one

but steadfast, committed

as pure as it be.

What's gained, what's lost

What's gained, what's lost

the natural way

is merely temporal.

 

What's on the way

What's on the way

will be

only by pure intent.

 

Not for comparison

Not for comparison

Not for vying

Purity in nature.

Not by design

Not by design

but by intent

purity seeks.

Cannot be kept down

Cannot be kept down

cannot be denied

By purity, for purity, with purity.

Embrace of what is

Embrace of what is

what the eyes see

Or is that so?

 

Reality, or lace

Reality, or lace

of illusion

Purity sees through.

 

Purity ain't a mystery

Purity ain't a mystery

Deliberateness, intent

ain't a mystery.

 

A start

New beginning,

anytime, anywhere

for Purity's sake.

By the way

By the way

the pure way

only the pure way.

 

So much decay

So much decay, so much waste

But the heart may still

overflow with gratitude

for life's cycle.

 

Just being

Just being

Maybe be different

but still Is.

 

In the beginning

In the beginning

always an intent

To the end

what's coloured intent?
