The path

A fleeting glance fills us all with wonder,
splendour and beauty beyond our comprehension.
Our minds are always jumping
from one thing to another.
Often a curse, leading away from the ultimate destination.
Oh Lord if I ever ask for anything
let it be to ask for mercy,
and purify my consciousness
so it is focused on You
and nothing else.

Petals & Reflections

The water is murky today
I may never get it still,
I attempt to keep it pure
But I don't think I ever will.

The petals appear to be something of beauty;
But can be distracting.
Will I manage to fulfil my duty?
I must continue trying...
