Free Will Poems

Free will to wield or just chill

Problems when park in,
To some they show a stop sign,
To some a guideline
From a well-wisher genuine--
To follow and feel so fine.

A beautiful girl,
To boy, a beauty to meet,
To wolf, meat to eat,
To sage, one with the same soul,
All three their fond flags unfurl. 

World is a garden
Where whiling time’s no evil,
And God, no warden,
Has bestowed

Free Will part 2

Free Will 
So many roads to choose 
With staggering views 
Linger with privilege 
Don’t take life for granted 
Sought after marble dreams 
Absorbing the sun under the tree 
Just wondering 
Life sometimes baffling 
Free Will 
Translucent future 
If you ever get lost, follow the river 
Pencil to paper 
Count your blessings 
Time is flying 
Make

The Mirror

I opened my eyes when it was too late.
The river passed before my wide-open eyes.
I missed my childhood;
I was a prisoner in my mind.
Neither God was called, nor nature invoked.
Fate took the driving seat of my life,
Only regret will not compensate now!

The grass was greener,
The sky seemed clearer,
And when I look back in the mirror,
What

Birthed in choice

At the Crossroads of Freedom

They say freedom is an experience -
the sensation of looking into the eyes of another,
and feeling the weight of a million life burdens lifted from their shoulders,
or gently coasting along the riverbed of love's tender embrace.
Yet, what use is in love's fruits
without the ability to choose?
Do they even grow at all?
I contend
true liberation is in

Glass within Glass

A glass within a glass;
in that glass, I seek.
A life within a life;
in that life, I find an unknown movie.

Passing distant echoes,
chasing unforgettable letters and pauses,
finding comfort in the words,
searching for meaning in a glass within.

There is a transparent figure;
I confront myself with an unsatisfied appetite.
There is a wholesome attitude;
I return to myself, and then

Christmas

What does it mean? The Birth of Jesus Christ for Christians
For the Christians, but not for all – drink, party, and more
Holiday, gift-giving, glittering illusions – where is the love?

Far, so far. Maybe He ran away and is afraid of people
Yes. No, oh no. We are the highest creatures! Humanoids!
Free will be given to the

discerning that that divides, contracts, cripples
versus that that entwines, expands, enables
soul presence within form then chooses
the way upon earth it wishes to be
thus the die of destiny is cast
cognised by mindful eyes
who are self-aware

God is always teaching me
It is whether I pay attention
Open doors, closed doors, either way
Things are shown with genuine reason,
so I can live, learn, give and love
I'm given emotions for growth,
tears, happiness, joy, even anger with strength
to pursue what is authentic to my soul
Time may never be what I expect it to be
Patience is required
