Marc O'Maolain Poems

Savasana

Hardest yoga posture of all
To just lie still and let it fall
...

Fear of expressing what my heart feels

Dread of dead metaphors
...

Falling like rose petals, releasing my pain

Sweat falls from me like Divine rain
...

Ishvara Pranidhana

Surrender ego and gain the world
Beyond my self, the Self unfurled
...

In Lotus

I fear that I will never be
Sitting in Lotus comfortably
...

Sadhaka

No a yogi, no not me
Content an aspiurant to be
...

Dhanurasana

What once was hard now seems to me
A joy, a comfort, setting free
...

Ode to Spring

Verdant scent upon the air
...

Passing by to hearth and home

Alone in cars they hurry
...

I love, yes, I think I do

Or maybe not, my love is true
...
