If
                                               we win,
                                           we feel glad.
                                         Ill-luck is faced,
                                        the losers become
                                     sad and disappointed.
                                    Either winning or losing,
                                 Nothing is permanent in life.
                               Let's realize this amazing truth.
                             Then we can remain joyful forever.

Premium Member It's As Simple As That

Having lived by now more than half my life
here on this earth, I feel qualified
to speak my simple truth - a truth 
which I arrived at through things
I have experienced
and from questioning
things I was taught 
from youth - both
good and
bad.
It
is this:
Peace and love
can reign when all
people - no matter
race, sex, or religion -
respect each other by not
doing anything to others
that we would not want done to ourselves.
The Golden Rule: it's as simple as that.

Premium Member Impermanence

"Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come." By Rabindranath Tagore

                                             

                                             death
                                            sublime
                                            eternal
                                    life's journey ends
                                      i n e v i t a b l e
                                   river meets the ocean
                               the wheel of life keeps moving
                                 ignoring sad separations
                      blazing auburn fall leaves sprawl on ground
                           reminding life's tragic impermanence

                       Life is a dream, death a permanent pause
                          end of hopes, and wishes, blissful joys
                          bright light dimmed, memories remain
                                       tender reminiscences
                                          of being together
                                       caring for loved ones
                                          dreams never die
                                             death fails to
                                                 erase
                                                 dream

Premium Member Be Quiet

Be
quiet
my Pumpkin,
it's not your turn.
"But Daddy, why not?"
Her look filled with desire.
Hair aflame and golden eyes
the roller coaster beckoning.
She shows no fear, she is only five ,
daddy's little girl, so eager to please.
My only desire is to see her smile,
the love I have for her always there,
as time moves on and days go by
I watch her grow and live life.
Friends come and go, tears too!
Days pass by quickly,
soccer practice,
the school play,
(Faustus)
gone.
Now,
she looks
around her
to tomorrow,
her future awaits.
My only hope is to 
help her through a bit longer.
How proud I am of who she is
as today we watch her graduate.
Eighteen now, eagerly spreading her wings.
Sticky are the tears welling in my eyes,
as I watch her walk off of the stage.
A kiss for her accomplishment,
congratulations I say.
Be quiet now Pumpkin
as I wipe her face.
You'll be OK
finally,
it's your
turn.

Premium Member Enigma

“I’m a conundrum. Or an enigma. I forget which” ~ James A. Owen 


As 
the soul
by free will,
chose to descend,
that contrast be felt,
thus be known in fullness,
no option remained save trance,
which it entered, burning the bridge
to heaven, God’s wisdom, love and light,
yet cradling deep in heart, the spark divine.

The deed thus done, now caged in feeble form,
splendour of light lost, soul quaked in fear,
yet from time to time heart whispered
secrets not meant to be shared
but love cannot be bound
and so cajoles soul
to renounce fear
so that it
may be
free.

                                                             Heart 
                                                          To  Heart :
                                                        Wish  to  hark
                                                     to  harp of heart
                                                     once rang like siren
                                                  as strung by his debut.
                                                But now it has turned silent.
                                              Into my heart his glance to peep.
                                           Bubbling blood flooded and I was moved.
                                           He mesmerized :  Seven heavens stepped in.
                   
                                          I was thrilled by his intelligent eyes.
                                          Stirred by looks, whenever we met.
                                           But no response, I am to sigh.    
                                            Waited for a miracle 
                                            to flash on me per chance,
                                               but nothing happened !
                                                  My passion burst :
                                                    Unquenched thirst 
                                                           never
                                                           soothed.

Premium Member Lessons Learnt In Life 5

as 
the flame
burns the pure 
white wick turning
ashen black melting 
wax around the candle  
into hot liquid flowing 
downward slowly turning to a 
cold hard callous built into a pool
trust has melted away and disheartened 
a key that was entrusted, but has melted
and with a sigh breathe extinguishing
the flame living behind a wisp
of smoke and an ashen wick
turned cold, hard, and calloused
constant reminder
scars left behind 
of lessons
learned
trust

Premium Member Garden of Broken Dreams

he

                         couldn't

                     send her fresh

                     forget-me-nots

             picked from their garden

                 to remember him by.

         'twas a garden they nurtured

       and their love grew along with it,

    but ever since she bade him goodbye...

dreams built; flowers in their garden, wilted.

Our
flowers
bloom, begin
their earthly time
in life; with sun and 
rain, daily they contend.
And day by day, their petals 
open wide; earth stages create 
fullness in the end.  They then enjoy
new life awakened with rebirth of Spring.

Our living earth does promise us new life,
after sleep of winter gathers strength.
Flowers are governed by their roots,
to wake as spring sets them free.
All life holds death but sends 
life renewed once more,
while life and death,
earth's tireless
twosome,
sings.
