Stoicism

Of all the meteorites
that hit me each day,

I can see my image
at the lighted up
crystal chandelier,
it's terribly crushed;

but the zenith
of my fortitude
still sparkles and says:
You can do it girl!

Stoicism In a Blank Page

The blank page just waits

          that we fulfill it out, but nothing charges...

         moden writing or an eld work

         it can be raw reality or chimera,

         it welcomes our text

         accepts us engaged or out of context...


Marcel Dassault

Not because of the laicism
you changed your name
and religion, converting
to Roman Catholicism.

Not because of politics
or pure stoicism,
but conviction of your mind,
concerning the wholeness 

of your being.
Aviation was important 
not just for the senses,
but conscious transcendence.

The Key To Living Well

Let's celebrate each day
         that mishap abandons us...
         Let's live willingly,
         let's vibrate with the demonstrations
         of joy, and we fight
         against everyday
         adversity with stoicism,
         Only then can we
         reap the sweet memories
         when everything over...!

The Night

The night
    holds secrets kept
    in dark and silent shrouds,
each escaping the light
    of morning sun
    to lay still and quiet
unseen, untouched in shaded visions
    of deaf blindness
    in narcissistic arrogance,
flooded in numb apathy that exudes
    from depths of impenetrable stoicism
    unable to surface when the light shines.

I have felt the sting
And the joy of the rain
Soaked in its confusion
Watched
As it turned cold
Bitingly cold and angry
Upon a howling wind
Frozen rivulets
Pelting the helpless
Becoming a more friendly
Soft fluffiness
Drifting into mountains
Burying all hope
Smothering 
Isolated thought
Shaping the future
Of a sunrise
Hardening the resolve
Of life

Focus

The mirror.

Then stoicism.

Frozen and calm.

Focused.

Then moving shakily.
 
Movements, and jolting.

Then I’m focused again.

Moving.

Calm but ready movements.
 
Knocking on the door, but I don’t react.

I can no longer move.

I can blink a little bit, still. 

The mirror is blinking with me.

I am focused.

The mirror.

I am in the mirror.

Premium Member Down With Pessimism

Down with pessimism
  Drown not in negativism
Beware of escapism
  Steer clear of cynicism

Keep far from fanaticism
  It only invites antagonism
Too lonely is monasticism
  Too stifling, collectivism

Failure dogs perfectionism
  Emptiness mars materialism
Insularity deadens catechism
  Stoicism breeds fatalism...

True, this poem is full of criticism
  ~ But it ends on a note of optimism

Give Me Back My Time

I'm planting myself between reason and stoicism
All the odious black stuff is coming back
like oxide fillings on the factory floor
Some see a new uprising happening soon
Give me back my time
which is laying on the ledge
within an inescapable air hole 
digesting all the pain that's here to stay
The harvest of  disavowal 
by the chagrin lady
except I have listened too far
and the people have spoken

My Focus

It's all in my eyes
What you see is no disguise

My intent is so sincere
I'm aiming and shooting without fear

My energy is indefatigable
I can meet night with day and still be excitable

In the midst of storms, I'm unflappable
My level of stoicism is masterful

I'm peering
and I'm steering
I'm honing
and I'm toning
I'm leveling
and I'm not settling

This is MY FOCUS
And this is no hocus pocus

Premium Member Melancholy

Melancholy A black bile veil becomes the widow - Her euphoric beauty, now cursed. Onyx gloves cover her silky soft hands. Her tears, like wax, permanently fixed. An imminent dark cloud covers her heart. It never rains, just simmers in sadness. Stoicism plays its game, never again smiling The widow derides all tidings of gladness. 2nd place winner Contest:Melancholy 9/25/2016

I Must Be a Stone

He was with me then
As I searched for a new place
In which I could live

But he does not speak
He is my companion
He wants to help me

I don’t believe yet
That he won’t come home ever.
But I just pretend

When I am with folk
They tell me I am stronger.
Oh,comparisons!

Yeah,I need no-one
No words of comfort or love
I must be a stone.

My stoicism
A wonder to the  heavens
My dead face fakes   peace.

Premium Member Stoicism, Way of Life

Stoicism stands for wisdom,
Virtue and success,
Education,
Information,
Beat a gritty guess.

Virtue is the guiding force,
Of values that remain,
Honesty and clarity,
Promote a greater parity,
That modesty and charity retain.

Stoicism stands for truth,
In what we say and do,
Standing tall,
Is after all,
A harmony of two.

If you shake the money tree,
Shake it for a cause,
Love’s election,
Not perfection,
Settles for a pause.
