“Radiant Dawn” by Poet Alan Jacobs

I watched our friendly Father Sun wake up this morn,
A blazing ball of fire, he made a radiant dawn,
Painted with brilliant crimson orange flame,
Great Sun glorified God’s sacred awesome Name.
This colour clothes the robe sanyasins wear,
They worship God with loving souls so fair.

We can be inner sanyasins pursuing Truth,
And like the rising Sun of light forsooth,
Shine with blissful Love ever in our hearts,
Reminding us of Him, each new day we start.
We fall in love with Love afresh each morn,
Like that golden ball of flame, which makes our dawn.

“Divine Drama” by Alan Jacobs

God as the almighty creative source,
Wills with all his power and massive force,
Evolved actors, with different parts to play,
In His ‘Globe Theatre Grand’ from day to day.

He writes a special script for them to act;
Predestined Thespians, God masked, in fact,
Yet each imagines that he’s in charge,
For such arrogance, they suffer, by and large.

When they awake and know that they are God,
Shadows playing an ordained role, however odd;
They soon become free from stress and strain
And find real freedom, without cause to complain

The Open Heart

The fully open heart rests in sweet unknowingness,

safe in its own embrace,

rushing to meet its own perceived need

that dissolves in the grace swallowing it.

Dancing its tender dance of sheer delight in its own

loveliness,

merging with Itself everywhere,

only THIS,

exquisitely so.

The Heart

“The Heart is the Self. Realize it and then you will see for yourself.

That which is the source of all, that in which all live, and that into which all finally merge, is the Heart referred to.”

Ramana Maharshi, “Be As You Are” page 76 Penguin edition
