LABURNAM TREE

SONNETS OF EXPERIENCE

LABURNAM TREE

Lovely Laburnam emblem of golden rain,
A blessed shower of grace that's heaven sent
To each, when errant soul removes the stain
Of worldliness, now set on heaven bent
To search for the hidden source of I,
Buried deep in the Heart but quickly reached
Through Self Enquiry, seeking for how and why
Egotism in its folly, true wisdom breached,
To end up in the waste land of sad samsara.
But thanks to the teaching of Great Lord Ramana,
We're freed from dread cycle of death and birth,
To be restored to Selfhood, our own true worth.
So when we admire the golden Laburnam tree,
We recall the loving grace that's sent by Thee!
