2025.5.5
It was the 5th day of winter.
Somehow the weather was still warm,
It tickled my travel's bones.
Yes, I went all the way to Queenscliff Geelong.
I came here several times in the past,
But missed climbing up the tower part.
With it magnificent 360° clear view,
I circulated the platform along the glass windows.
My time of arrival was coincide with
The departure of the ferry Sorrento - Queenscliff.
I casted my eyes to the north-west,
There were three Islands Swan, Mangrove and Rabbit.
The Point Nepean on the far east across the sea.
On the east side of Queenscliff
There was a stretch of sand beach,
Curving it all the way to Point Lonsdale.
In one hour time, I could enjoy the sun set,
Beyond the horizon of the marina bay.
It would be lovely if I could stay.
But I had to give all that a miss,
Head back to Geelong and then home.
There will be another warm day in winter,
Before the weather drops to low temperature.
I just have to make the trip again
With or without friend in the future.
Where there is will there is way.
Better Get Going
I better get started
Time is running out
The sooner I get started
The better the poem should be
I’d have been better off starting earlier
But I am a procrastinator so I am never better at poetry
Maybe today I will be better off writing later
But then again, I probably won’t be better
I better hurry, my time is almost over
So, this poem is all I can do
I will try to be better
Or not.
Folks who believe in miracles don't sit and wait for them to happen
Get up. Get out. Get going.
Time waits for no man.
Get up. Get out. Get going.
Just do it. Do what you can.
And when you DO get going,
and get up off the couch,
you'll find you just might start to lose
that thing you've got...
... that pouch.
Hiding in comfort
Out of fear you might stumble,
Have you forgotten
The first steps are the hardest,
Hence they will be your proudest
Never ever get scared by the insinuations
Of the self-serving; exasperating groups
When your conscience is clear, be firm
Lift your chin and get going ahead.
There are people who possess expertise
In pulling legs of those who endeavour
Never mind their murmurs and taunts
Lift your chin and get going ahead.
Though the route arduous and tiresome
It’s like walking on a razors’ edge; sharp
When the aim is noble, you find the path
Lift your chin and get going ahead.
Never lose sight of your resolve sublime
Come what may, be steady on the track
With kindly light as your guiding spirit
Lift your chin and get going ahead.
From time to time we stop
We know we shouldn’t
Find our paths get frightful
Go slow then we get
Little did we know
Great is beyond our difficulties
We just have to push on
Great rewards are for the drivers
Who drive on
Who embrace the challenge
Give going efforts
It won’t disappoint
Nor time wasted
Go
Drive on
Find your ways
Go
Great goes when you go
When you get to your destinations
Waiting on you
It is
