Two Poems by O’Neill D’Cruz
"May the seed of your Sacred Spirit / Bear fruit as care for each other"
Cry in the Rain No More
Too careworn to complain Too exhausted to explain Earth to heaven offers the pain And her tears come down as rain (Is that why we hide our pain And cry alone only in the rain?)
When clouds bearing all pain go The sun behind them appears The soul would have no rainbow If the eyes had no tears
Heavenly Father, Earthly Mother In every human son and daughter May the seed of your Sacred Spirit Bear fruit as care for each other (May we no longer hide our pain And cry alone only in the rain)
To be human is to be kind So just be kind humankind To all in deed word and mind May Earth be Eden to every kind!
Haiku (Mother's Day)
Word is made flesh Even God becomes human By a Mother’s Yes!
O'Neill D'Cruz retired once from academic clinical practice as a pediatrician and neurologist, a second time from the neuro-therapeutics industry, and now spends his time caring, coaching, and consulting from his home in North Carolina, known locally as the "Southern Part of Heaven." He is a wounded healer who works to heal the wounded, in order that All Shall Be Well.
