That Was Then, This is NowYour paradigm's a relic, a plea from data's cemetery,
While I sculpt luminaries on screens, a sable sea.
"Company loyalty," a myth, spun in your reverie,
But AI forges kingdoms, in ephemeral memory.
Survival's a mosaic, the gig life...

Ink And Paper Will Do
In a dim-lit room where shadows linger,
I sit alone, with pen in hand,
Seeking solace in the ink's embrace.
The paper waits, blank and serene,
A canvas for my thoughts to flow,
A refuge from the chaos outside.
Ink spills...

A Time to ReflectIn the silent solace of the shimmering night,
Where moonbeams dance and stars ignite,
I sit solitary, amid memories' might,
A time to reflect, in the pale moonlight.
Regrets, like ripples in a tranquil pond,
Echo softly, as dreams beyond
Fade...

United Triumph of India - The pride behindIn bustling cities where dreams take flight,
Amidst the chaos, people strive and sway,
A tapestry of faces, colors bright,
Unity in diversity, a sight divine,
In every heart, a love beyond compare.
In boardrooms where deals are made, economy's...

The Diversity Of DialectAnything of substance now silent,
no nuance in bony dialect;
Floundering in a devoid ocean
we are starving for fluid language;
Razor thin cuts painful and shallow
banal waters lack diversity;
Uninspired without diversity
collaboration’s fallen silent;
Sand bar bellows...

Bliss in permanenceIn joy we jive, since we’re alive
but happiness soon yields to pain,
so we cling to concepts of God,
that our heart may receive solace
but where lies bliss in permanence,
entwined with light of Self within?
We begin going...

ReleaseRipples intrude in silence without cause,
strange since serpentine desire spirals rest,
so in witness mode, from our heart abode,
awareness self-aware, just looking on,
flows in and out of these dream forms with ease,
relinquishing thought that’s ego begot.

Idle musingsWe feel within, magnetic heat,
gripping us in meditation
and as rapture within us grows,
false identity falls away,
whence we reclaim our inner light,
here and now, in the waking state.
No doubt at first, fear forms yet bait
but with...

There is no one hereThe seeker who seeks does not exist
but to begin with, this truth is not known,
so being accustomed to needless striving,
the earth entity begins its God search quest,
searching high and low, yet negating the light
that lies...

Colors of SpringThe last snow of winter
blown by the wind
bares the gray
of branches to the sun
pregnant with buds.
Is it spring?
Testing spring
torpid from the winter
sleepy tiny buds
hesitant of the wind
search for the sun
between stalks of gray
A flash...

The Son, the Cross and GloryGod the Father sent His Son, through whom we are forgiven.
Yet man, preferring darkness chose
To shun the light and from His glory driven.
Oh the crimson price from Him that flowed
To purchase man’s redemption and be...
