You see the path without any exertion
The pitfalls ahead

he avoided the usual pitfalls
and wrong ways.
Yet to the end of his days
he leaned nothing
of that light-hearted travelling
into the yet unknown....

Managed to get through with minimal strife
One of the lucky ones
Managed to overcome
All the pitfalls so what's ahead in the afterlife...

My strength
Is my weakness.
I fall so easily,
Unaware of all my pitfalls.
Then, I cry pitifully for mercy,
And a hand lifts me up again.
Today, I gain reprieve.
God’s love gives me
My strength....

We start all over again 
Another chance to better ourselves 
That and much more my friend

I run up the steps..
                                            jumping over the pitfalls..

The day has just started,
It lies ahead like a mountain,
With trails that must be followed
And pitfalls that must be overcome.
But I look toward the coming day,
For I will see you,
And I will have many thoughts
Of you today....

And never give up

Go for that gold

Hang in there
Those clouds will eventually disappear 
And the path will be clear

The urge to serve
For a feel good factor
Though with gusto and verve
Act of doership, ego the detractor

Hermit resolute
Knows his life's mission 
Recognising ego’s in pursuit
For each act, seeks God's permission

Every road has a path 
We must be careful accordingly 
The journey is filled with many pitfalls 
Treacherous terrain appears respectfully 
Embrace all challenges 
And continue to rise above
Learn to adjust those sails 
The ship may travel over waters that are rough...

Living at maximum RPM,
the world outside surrounds me
Setting traps and digging holes
to slow my motion down

I bob and weave, increasing speed,
the pitfalls deep and mighty
Hunted for the threat I pose
—their treadmills overwound

Pitfalls no reason
 I'm covered in Soul 
My arose my emotion still in flow 
Now knowing where I show

Holden, holder, to my middle breath

start from where 
i had last left off 
not going to go
back to the starting point  
must move on 
from this point 
forwards 
do not make the same 
stupid mistakes again
learn from the path taken
now know the pitfalls
perils and possibilities  
that will repeat
if old steps are 
followed once more...

Remember when we were in Africa,
red dirt replaced snow
in the new continent,

here the wolf found
challenge among other beasts,
true survival, 
animal against animal,
and no pitfalls of man,

we hid in caves of crystal shards,
trembling with love and fear
in the jungle-
                      but never hatred....

Potential terrains and pitfalls will try to deter you 
Lift yourself and find your inner strength 
Strive for excellence in everything that you do...

If you make a claim
they freely raise the annual fees
and then they confound the issue
with talk of  a depressed market
and  rampant  inflation
I wanted to change horses
but realised the claim we had made
would make our insured sum more expensive
I felt their snide behaviour
There was an elephant in the room...

Everyone has to go through a struggle 
Potential pitfalls will try to deter you 
Do not ever give up
Keep your head up and guide your way through 
Darkness initially may surround you 
You may find yourself going through treacherous terrain 
The journey of life is not meant to be easy
But, there is confidence and knowledge for you to gain...
