Woolen Testament

they used
to say if
there's a
will there's
a way and so

i tried not
to live with
materialism
but given now
at my age i've

accumulated
dated and what
i thought were
savable things
thinking how

could i
throw
these
memo
ries away

so my attic
fills as does
my basement
one mouse filled
the other mold damp

mouse traps and
a humidifier can't
make or keep
them to last
but what is

lost when they are
found by a stranger
the memory that
surrounds them
and grounds

their electricity
or some say
an aura but
before i go
there

i just have
to say i had
these things
as part of me
and so in sound

mind and body
both creaking
and cracking
i am passing
this stuffing

on to 
my son
because
i willed it
in my will

it's so much
easier to give
these things up
when i go
belly

up

About the Day of Birth

A-n eventful day of birth 
N-ever comes as a surprise; 
N-either eye will wonder, 
E-ven if the sun won't rise. 
T-wenty-eighth day October 
T-ries to satisfy your heart; 
E-ven though the rain is falling, morn makes a real fine start. 

I-n celebrating the birth, 
B-ig bash becomes routine; 
A-lthough it's not a joke, 
S-o many men do it again. 
C-elebration of birthday is sometimes just passing by; 
O-ne doesn't mind the day to remember under the sky. 

V-ery well you understand, 
I-t's our duty to thank the Lord; 
L-et's praise Him for another year, 
L-et's obey the Father's word. 
E-very blessing from above 
N-ever comes just for mirth; 
O-pen our minds to think about the day of birth.

Moon Gazer At Midnight

M-oon gazer at midnight 
A-lways awaits the sunset; 
R-eady to stay awake, 
J-oining not the woeful fret. 
O-nce she gazes at the moon, 
R-apture she'll truly feel; 
I-n spite of the darkness, 
E-vening shadows and chill. 

E-ach ray from the moon 
N-ever will fail the gazer; 
D-azzling star nearby 
I-s pleasant to the beholder. 
E-very night she watches 
R-adiant light from the moon; 
A-llowing the brightness to bring her the big boon.

C-almness and serenity 
O-f the moon are both felt; 
N-ightmares and fears 
S-hall all eventually melt. 
T-enth November midnight, 
A-s she looks upon the sky; 
N-either moon nor star 
T-ries to make her cry. 
I-n her bed she can't slumber, 
N-either eye can sleep tight; 
O-pen to see the gleam, moon gazer at midnight.

Premium Member Superstition

Science cannot explain happenings
Understanding is shot, blind assimilation is the only way
Possibilities only entangle with beliefs
Events bringing lucks possibly in both directions
Rare is its marriage with truth
Society adopts, such stories adhere to the mind
Taking with it some level of seriousness
In addition to making a few childhood scare.
Tries to connect the disjointed links
Irrespective of the distance in deviation, but
Over the years, the mind gets deeper
No worries at all! It’s just the Disney aspect of our lives

Embracing Earth

Early on in my privileged life, 
    My parents gave wise advice to me:
   Be all you can be, but reckon strife.
  Relish every opportunity
Aware that strains and stress may be rife.
 Count it all joy that earth is your home
  Instead of starting out in Eden.
   Never give in to suffering like some,
    Give in to God and look for reasons.  

       Embrace the earth as His creation,
   Appreciate it as less than ideal.
 Realize this old world’s aggravation
   Tries our allegiance, patience to reveal.
       Heaven will reward our dedication.
