To cluster scattered relationships.

Who Suffers

The people who truly believes
And honors the word of God
Suffers the most in life
No one tells you
These things, or even
Warn you about it

as long as we continue to react
all our earth life lessons will continue
only when with stillness we forge a pact
are we then with each breath reborn anew

    Why can’t we learn beforehand
        life lessons we learn afterwards

Gender Swopped

If you're a straight person
Looking for a companion
You have to do your homework
To see what you're getting 
Because, some men are women
And some women are men

Life Lessons-Part 2

We always speculate that,
it requires considerable time,
to instigate change in life.
But little do we understand,
the changing times would leave our life bartered forever.

Premium Member Idle musings

each moment in linear time
if we be mindfully awake 
we will notice the clues
life leaves all around

if response be gentle
soul presence ascends
whilst if driven by the ego
the life lessons are repeated

Premium Member Life Lessons

Lessons in life are not always easy to follow Sometimes go against the grain, in pity we wallow Then it all becomes clear We get knocked on our rear Hiding in plain sight, truth can be hard to swallow

Hearts in the market

 
If hearts were sold in the market, People would stand in queue Fighting for buying the good one Without realising that the best in the world is inside them. -Thaqiya/lazybirdnest

To whom it may concern;
Key lessons I have learned:
Strive to make the right turn

Never weep over spilled milk; pour another glass
Nothing comes to stay. Everything comes to pass
Of loving and being loved, strive to make it last

Premium Member Zen Mode

what is betrayal
belied expectation 
rooted in attachment
which signals delusion

now that we know
are we free from grief
or are we yet in bondage 

let’s not be harsh on ourself
it’s alright to repeat life lessons
for we know practice makes perfect

Life Lessons Learned

I think the world would be
a better place

If we could see it through
our Creator's face

A face through which man's time
does not exist

Events that take place are but
a gentle kiss

The end result of which would
cease to be

Our thinking that "I" am the
only important "ME"

Some Things Are To Late

Funny how life lessons 
Are learned and it's too late
To late to make amends to late to go back
 so we call 
It fate.. 
It seems as we grow with life 
The more we look back on our mistakes 
With knowledge of what we should've done and 
Dying slowly with the regret knowing it's to Late.

Accepting You

Find the 'you' within
You are an individual
we are to be who we are made to be
It's okay to be different
Do not be afraid

It is only in tumbling we learn to walk
in falling off a bike we learn to ride
When we understand 
we don't need to try to be someone else
We will find a peace in our acceptance

Premium Member Wherever You Are

Behind your beautiful eyes and gorgeous disguise,
You've cried a thousand tears.
Baby girl, it's to you I write these words;
I hope somehow your clouds disappear.

May God reach from the heavens, 
And protect your weary soul.
I know during these life lessons,
Things seem to spin out of control.
