Practice will never make perfect
 
If perfect is never strived for.

A man is born when he had held the bull by the horns, faced his fears, strived in the journey through life as he faced his challenges and fears and overcame the challenges and fears.Then he becomes a man because he overcame....

I strolled with God, and
God with me, as
I shrank from booze to clarity, through
Narrow doors, and sculpted lawn, that
Buffered me with accountability -
The hands of God my confidence
No one can stand
Like wall against.

Her blood stained
His heart broken
Her lips kissed
His tears flowed
Her man strong
His muscles weak
Her life fulfilled
His life longing

She grew up
He stayed small
She got married
He stayed home
She had children
He had none
She strived
He died...

leader of social justice 
change society   
gift for rhetoric and oratory
strived for freedom and compassion for all
a name displayed on buildings nationwide
remembered by his famous speech  
a life and true potential shortened  
about hope for a world 
we might live in one day...

Roads covered by dark night,
Thou there is plenty of orange light.

Samhain has arrived,
Remplir your bags to strived.

Headstone on the left,
Don’t worry, toffees won’t be theft.

Trick or treat on the right,
Once he was The Knight!

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...

Why is devil so heartless,
That he wrought all virtue valueless.

Why can't he let go of man to his own:
Why did he strived to mount the throne?

I've said 'I'll not do your will":
But you wouldn't stop poking me your meal.

Leave man to his own choice:
Don't get him into immorality by force.

If everything was 
to be nothing
     Nothing!
Would all your worries
		also be nothing?
All some things that
            you strived to achieve
would amount to be nothing!
     Ha!
I scoff,
	for I who had nothing
     lost nothing 
and you that had something
	lost
	it
	all.
Nothing, wouldn’t that be something?...

He's a man of great pride & of humor. 
He's been there by far when it drove him. 
He's lived life with zest & love and regret. 
But he's been there by far when it was over. 
He's hoped for the best and lived through the worst. 
And strived to do it all over again. 
For he said in his way's don't ever have leeway, 
For it's gone before the rides even over....

everything I strived for
I lost 
everything I loved 
I lost
cause she could only take so much
I give up on givin a f**k
because im lost
lord please take my life
its nobodies loss
I used to think she was right
until I learned 
everyday we'll fight
so now I move on
to a journey to find ms right
but before then
I don't wanna count
my sleepless nights...

I became a rose for winter
Blooming below a midnight sky
All year long my body has strived
Who shall care for me
If I were to die

Curled up
My leaves fold and cower
Embracing the life left within
Feebly I watch the sun
Out it comes
Without reply

I become
A rose for winter
Tread carefully the path
Don't kill a rose
Before it has the grace to die.....

A blaze of silver breached the surface,

Muscle flexed, sinew taut.

Through the raging waterfall,

Upwards struggled, strived and fought.

Her mighty tail thrusting, driving

Instinct pushing, nearly spent.
 
A heroic leap, she jumped again !

Over the waterfall, the salmon went.

While I greedily struggled to satisfy
the insatiable desires of my kind,
I foolishly plundered the joy of my soul,
and ravaged the peace of my mind.           
                                        
I vainly strived for happiness,
until, happily, I discovered,                      
the greatest of wealth I can gain for myself
is the joy I receive from giving to others....

The child I could never be- but I was still adored. 

The lost milestones will never be restored. 

The hope for normalcy will never be revived. 

The normalcy that I thought was worth being strived. 

Those habits that I used to treasure. 

That now haunt me and take away my pleasure. 

Those odd ways of mine, are becoming unwoven. 

As has my silence, from now on I am brazen!...

The saint of Sabarmati
Our great Mahatma Gandhi
Lived a life of simplicity
And marched towards Dandi
For India to attain freedom
He strived day and night
Even attained martyrdom
To keep our future bright
His Quit India movement
And call of ‘Do or Die’
Reminded Indians of their commitment
To the glorious days gone by
The great Mahatma passed away
Holding the entire nation in his sway...

She has her eye's wide open,
And her voice you can hear,
Yet her mind and heart she allows no one near,
She doesn't find it easy to let her emotions show,
For disappointment and trust is something she knows,
She feels meaningless and hasn't strived for her best,
And knowing that truth, she can no longer rest,
As far as what's next? It's all up to her,
So we'll just have to wait and see what occurs!...

5 billion years have passed
Society is long since gone
The sun is now so vast
The Earth has its final dawn

Life has withered away
Leaving ruins in its wake
Memories fade in decay
A world that we forsake

Far away on another rock
Humans made their home
Still we avert death’s clock
As the universe we roam

We've continued to adapt
And look nothing like before
Our potential was untapped
Until we strived for more...

A day in the life,
Thou will have a vibe.
Struggles strived by you,
Would pay off true.
Obstacles you fly;
With you head held high;
Would turn your days blue,
Surely bright view.
Inspired by what’s right,
Aspire you deep sight.
Essence that you hold,
Strengthen thought you told.
Things hurting today,
Would pave a strong way.
See your beauty,
The way you duty.
Views written in silence,
Shine you as world guidance....

A mutual march of transient brotherhood.
The would-be sport of kings and queens.
Violence is thy name, oh crosse, for times test you have withstood.
 
"weapon of death" and "bringer of life", two roles you gladly play.
From death on the run to sport just for fun,
Through ages you still stay.
 
Though recognition is never given, you've kept men alive.
Battles o'er both life and goal,
With warrior and player you've strived....

The scorching sun was laughing
Blisters of my feet were crying
My heart sweated with fear
By my side was no one dear
Tears in my eyes were stout
I could not find my way out
I was lost in the dry desert
Emotions poured out of my heart
I kept wandering like a bee
Then suddenly that light hit me
I stepped forward unto its core
It emanated more and more
I strived to reach its source
I hastened like a restless horse
And I lost myself to a new force......

Every minute, every hour, everyday
there is a waking moment. 
As the tears run down my cheeks 
i pray for that waking moment. 
It will be a day of peace and glory. 
it will be a day with out pain. 
it will be day when all that i have strived 
for is expressed in such a way that all 
who see it will have that moment. 
Chaos will be absent and the light  of the heavens 
will rain everlasting understanding. 
We all share in that waking moment....

she opened her heart to the world in a selfless way 
letting in glimmers and glimpses of other’s happiness
the world responded with love and attention
wanting to nurture and uplift her as a thank you 
She encouraged and coaxed goodness from others
Many strived to be half as giving as she was 
she reaped positivity that was replenished nightly
in a dream world that gave her spiritual nourishment
the angels kept their eyes on her, allowing her to shine...

I only wanted to cry so that I could cry out to you.
When I cried did you hear me?

I needed to speak so I could speak your name.
Did I speak clear enough for your ears?

I strived to walk so I could walk to you.
When I walked did I reach you?

I educated myself in the hopes of understanding you.
Why are you so sovereign?

All that I do is to reach you.
Why do I not arrive?

Now I know that I must die to be with you.
Can you hold me while I suffer?...

In the trails I've walked,
I picked up a smooth grey rock,
I found a cave where the cats do sleep.
I look at the trees who quitely talk,
and feel the wind who leaps.
In the trails I've strived,
I witness a little bug die,
i examined the creeks who jog.
I heard the tall grass sigh
and the snores of a rodent in a log.
In the trails of the night fall,
the sun leaves the earth in gentle fall.
I walk back the trails to home,
and again I view the wilderness roam....
