189 Dawn
Dawn, 1st Feb 2020, for MSA
Daily in this world I wish to see
Every last fellow creature set free
From the shackles of assumed limitations
Instead filled with delightful sensations
We're human which means we receive divinity
It slowly enters into the bones of me and thee
Worry not, its darkest only before dawn
Dance to the melody, fleet footed as a fawn
When daylight breaks, look up in utter glee
Burst into song, as you this world begin to see
In its true light, where love is what defines us
Where we give of our best without any fuss
Be a light to guide others through the dark
Lit from inside, a glimpse of that divine spark
Make no mistake, were headed for better times
Forget the nightmares, as the clock, 5am chimes
On this pristine world your blessing send, O Lord
We receive your shining light, it strikes a chord
That resonates at the core of our very being
Makes us dance and with merry voices sing

- 39. Striving As the poem ends, it makes you ponder "in striving we find we've grown, our hearts widening, - our minds reaching to the far galaxies glimmering".
- 43. Toi For my teachers Sri Aurobindo and Mirra Alfassa, written at their ashram in Pondicherry. "We seem on the brink - of total annihilation our pilot extinguished with no time to pause and think - to follow our highest right as dictated by that voice from within".
- 89. Time travelling Jointly, Outside Auroville. "Come back and let's build that tomorrow - A vision so fierce as to fill our marrow - Remember our true path as once we were led - Blood sweat and tears, so easily shed".
