Short Predicaments Poems

Unless we consider the predicaments of others as our very own 

We would never have a chance our world a better place to make!

Burried the predicaments of my past.
Forgotten the grudges I held inside.
Focusing on having a blast.
With negative people aside.
Hope you all have a great new ride!

This Year...

I was a young and strong mother
Never was one to run for cover
Protected the life of my un-born child
Did whatever I had to do to survive
I strived to make it through
Oftentimes feel so bemused and blue
I would always protect my off-spring 
Dealing with whatever predicaments life brings...

An unloved woman
Is married to a mean ghost
She sees not nor feels.

Terrorizing her
And haunting another house,
He is like the wind.

Earth reels with tremblings
As his spirit takes a maid;
It can not bear it.

Now so repugnant,
She wonders in mystery
And is supplanted.

What predicaments
Caused spurn and frequent visits 
Of horrific love?...

No, my dearest friend,

You are not mortal but immortal,

Because the child of God you are, who
 
Cannot be touched by the passing of time,

No matter how many millennia may pass,

So worry not of the coming and going of the years

For 

They are but the predicaments of temporality

Fighting a losing battle against eternity!

Dragging his feet with exhaustion, 
On the unending path of time,
The wise old year, the gates of 
Oblivion approaches,
His face glowing
His heart pounding for joy
His soul in rapture
Because
In a few moments, able will he be,
The heavy load of humanity’s predicaments 
Upon 
The eager shoulders, of the ignorant New Year,
To, finally, lay!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!...

deep into ponderance,
not to be confused by predicaments,
pleading and plodding to bring pleasing
where once there was teasing,
the composure overshadows the effort,
so the struggle looks like ease,
onward and onward,
sometimes upward always outward,
ego shrinking the more I grow,
learning and teaching,
wisdom constantly seeking,
fully knowing there is more to know,
chop wood, carry water,
drink wisdom, share hope.
be love....

Life would be incomplete
Without trials and tests
So take a chance to live
Live with predicaments
Life can never be sweet
Like those scented flowers
But never forget to pray
A haven for life is given
Just smile and do'
Whatever you can
But never lose hope 
Though you fail many times
Life would be incomplete
Just like a lost puzzle
So travel the world
See the pros and cons
The beauty of life
Till you finally taste
The reward of struggle...

Let me live in my silence,
 undisturbed by the predicaments
 created by the outside world.

Let me live in the inner quiet
 as it permeates and cleanses my soul
 of the heartache and sadness
 that erase all joy.

Let the lesson of history so harsh
 often unlearned by humankind's need
 die in the rise of greed and power.

Let common sense grow strong
 tower above the rhetoric that unfolds
 with learned youth and age 
 grasping its realities ignored....
