In Our Blindness, Chalked Up To Just Be Fate

Life, its complexity truly astounds
astounds this old soul so sadly earthbound
earthbound but not without imagined flight
flight into blue heavens's glimmering night.
Night of ill winds that beggars disbelief
disbelief of blindness that brings dark grief
grief of those lost, dying...

FANTASY LAND
 A
VIOLTTE POEM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

a land of few hippies',
where live elves' and pixies;
matriarchal fairies,
Irish drummers

where happy and laughter
and joy ever after
fun end to a chapter,
love their summers!

humans come to visit,
all so much fun isn'it
left leaving some credit
we thought runners

you people have many,
care we not of any,
our...

Rejection of worldly goods has been seen
as means for spiritual growth, to lead
a life in balance with HIS will, to wean
every material thing with no greed.

It's said, the poverty of spirit freed
one to empty of self so that HE can
fill with life and love. Prayers...

Let us learn from the nature the lesson.
Nothing in the nature lives for itself.
In life, lets follow this lesson as well;
Accept nature's rule as our souls' essence.

The Sun doesn't produce heat for self, message
clear, trees don't eat own fruits; let's realize
nature wants us to follow...

We desire to be successful
remain guided by dream of win
but fail to see the truth stressful
hiding with grin.

We try to follow dream without
knowing exactly what we want;
fact it’s not easy to stand out,
Its not for jaunt.

One needs vision, goals, attitude
ambition, motivation, trust,
grit, tenacity to improve
also...

Remember how pleasant was our relation
when we were dating before our engagement;
Over four decades many family issues we
faced jointly despite our quarrel, disagreement;
Despite our faith, love, easy communication
between us an invisible distance formed; why so?
Should we not try to have those old golden days back?

Scientists...

We take a lot of decisions daily.
Some bring happy results and we feel charmed;
Some decisions do fail makes us distressed;
These bad decisions really suggest
causes, once we analyse, uninformed
facts come up; those needs to be seen plainly.

That process of unearthing makes one rich
in experience; as one...

(Latin word meaning "healthy water")
Arabian Onegin Sonnet

Never imagined ‘happiness short-lived’
It’s very true; really I'm surprised
Once around the coast so many plants lived
creatures inhibited, but why I'm despised?

Beautiful nature surrounded, 'twas so
pleasant; loved, admired by all so much so
termed as 'beautiful river'; steady flow,
cold and safe...

A hundred years of praying,
A hundred years of song,
A hundred years' faith conveying,
And all the days were long!

A hundred years of fireflies,
A hundred years of red roses,
A hundred years of marmalade skies,
And God's love engrosses!

Reverend Hegstrom then, and Pastor Gorder now,
The very first unto the...

A baby is able of expressing
her needs, not by talking but through her cry
to state her needs to fulfil, expression
made by her, Mom understands baby's cry.

Difference in baby's different cries
only Mom can feel; knows high pitched wailing
cry of baby is for hunger, she tries
to bring...

Irish proverb says: "Don't regret
growing older. It is a privilege
denied to many." Ageing is only
a process, one need to accept
with ease for a peaceful living.
Old age doesn't define a person wholly;
It’s one's attitudes, action does explain.
Why link ageing with one's image?
One shouldn’t let perceptions coldly
to...

Decisions sometime results in failure;
we start analyzing our behavior.
Many times it is really painful.
Regret comes as natural emotion
can't decide what next, completely broken.

With failure we reflect, ponder defects,
know flaws, look for the ways to solve complex
situation to think of steps special;
Helps to be empathic to...

Life is simple no need to do show-off;
It's the greatest gift of HIS, one to note.
To stay happy always is in our hand
none can stop, if chosen, but needs to be planned;
it's our decision no one can command.
When you are unhappy with life due to
others'...

My boy, don't blame HIM, Fr. Daniel explained;
Yes, at times we feel HE has abandoned
us, faith put to great test; don't feel saddened
why HIS help didn't reach in time, don't complaint;
Sometimes people lose faith on HIM remain
regretful, develop resentment; But
it's our weak minds, faults lies...

Never I can forget that day,
memories remain fresh, as if
it happened only yesterday.

I didn't expect you would open
up your mind with such lovely thought;
Flow of words was like a poem;
Tells me from life what else you sought.

Yet, that imprints feeling which stay
in memory for...
