Thought
Let us go to island place
Awkward troubles never face
Enjoy warm tropical breeze
Amidst palms and azure seas
The tragic things on BBC
Escape the stress and never see
Nothing there to spoil our view
Or argue with those that we knew
New fights arise in paradise
With insect stings pay the price
From own self, is no escape
Carried on subconscious tape
Hurricanes can blow away
The very island where you stay
Floods destroy a little house
And soon escape plan will douse
Unless mind is well attuned
To blissful base below the wound
Where you are matters not
Unhappiness came when you forgot
True paradise is all around
When presence in all things is found
Feeling inner rapturous joy
Happiness will unhappiness destroy
Prayer
O Divine Presence, bestow your abundant grace on me and all that I may always feel you be it day or night and with every breath that comes from thee I offer back to thee.
