Thought
Ancient ones took note of time
To synchronise events to chime
With nature’s writhe and dance
Welcoming auspicious chance
To neutralise society’s wrongs
With festivals, chants and songs
As the moon and seasons played
Prayers to deities would cascade
For those presiding over rain
Ensured abundant harvest grain.
Students too were taught to move
Thought currents helpful to improve
To tune thought currents happily
With steadily directed energy
Brings to the unsettled stability
In the world at large and locally
Generous thought devoid of pique
Transforms each day, month and week
Prayer
O Lord of time, you offer endless opportunities to worship Thee; grant that I may not squander these with distractions wherein my love for Thee strays. Thy current of thought is always flowing, grant that I may steer it usefully.
