Poems old and new

Cleansing

Cleansing


Pouring rain quenches
the thirst of parched earth.
My trust in God, our Father,
dissolves disillusion and grief.

Rain-sprinkled plains
smile with new-found joy.
My heart glows with warm
thoughts of a hope, love and faith.

If I could steer clear of
the flood of disappointments,
rapids of fear, cynicism and negativity,
I know, I’d be on my way
to endless vistas of peace,
a life devoid of desire and ego.
