Short Travesties Poems

I will draw unto the depths of my soul to love my life.
Although there are sorrows and some travesties along the journey
I bend like a tree in the wind,strong,proud and beautiful....

No hymn is sung to praise
The beauty now undone by time;
Where once the lauds and gracious
Prose were flung out, as will be
These travesties of nature's levity.
Then does all beauty fade, thus
Frail her lovely moments pass away
And crumble like the broken vase
The withered rose upon the wilted stem....

Deep into the sunflower,
Shirking away in facade.
Alas!
The It in the search for it,
But the constellations know better.
Soon draws in the daily winter;
When the flowers wilt and fall;
As it shivers off the travesties,
To settle up in serene,
Adorning its grey regalia,
Giving It the fickle find.
The moon plays hide and seek,
And the night is It....

Listen to your inner voice,
return to childhood and
let those instincts free.
Become a child once more.

See things through their eyes
like unicorns, fairies and elves.
Do not stop and analyse just act
on your gut feeling its seldom wrong.

The more you can let go the freer 
you are of modern travesties'.  
And can return to a natural way
free from stress of every day life....

I have little control
over the world's travesties
I have power
over little more
than my thoughts
my words my actions
so put away that sharp tongue
so as to never sting or slash
best choose to be kind
so as never to regret
the smile not given
the kind word or
compliment not granted
preferring
to love
wholeheartedly
and spread kindness
as best I can
