Catch me slipping in the rain
No pain to gain

And sipped it crossing the Red Sea

Only when, 

The edifice of happiness,

Is:

Conceived,

Designed,

Built

And 

Maintained

By

Wisdom

And 

Supervised by unselfishness 

Could 

Withstand the test of time!

busy in his own self-sight
is man,
earth's foot upon his chest....

Respectful silence is maintained
No risk of anyone coming to harm
A sense of relaxation gained

Breathe deeply and it will begin
A quiet state both outside and in
Allows for gentle contemplation
A natural flow of inspiration...

So that to Shine, to Dazzle and to Flair,
Marching unanimously hand-in-hand.
The Inner Beauty is more self-contained,
Unselfishly with much more time to spare
To figure out what constitutes a Man.

i can't believe
what this world
has come down to

we think
we live
we fight
we give

and it all comes down to
what
a picture
in a frame

a life
left un-maintained

but what is it all for
if we never know
what it is
that we are truly willing to die for...

Attractive ambling agapanthus

Fastidiously fashioned
Delightful daydream
