IMPORTANT NOTE

We don't know it all
But we can never be late
We don't have it all
But we can never be liabilities 
Because we believe in our agility 
Showcasing our abilities 
Paving ways for possibilities.

We're not the most powerful 
But we're not preys 
We live with humility 
Doesn't mean we're timid
We show love
Doesn't mean we're  fearful.

We're silent
Doesn't mean we're weak
We're generous 
Doesn't mean we're foolish
But we always expect anything to happen 
Due to our uniqueness 
You're not responsible for people's actions and more.

Blessings of God's Grace

God’s grace* melts pain with mercy glow
As compassion vanquishes woe
Instilling hope to conquer strain
With mercy glow, God’s grace melts pain.

God’s grace prevails midst kindness’ scope
To conquer strain instilling hope
Showcasing care, it never fails
Midst kindness’ scope God’s grace prevails.

God’s grace abounds, such we must share
It never fails, showcasing care 
That flows with zest as faith resounds
Such we must share God’s grace abounds.

God’s grace highlights love at its best 
As faith resounds that flows with zest
While prayer mirth soars for great heights
Love at its best God’s grace highlights.

*Ephesians 1:6–8 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence.

Not Good Enough

Abstract ideas flitter about in my brain
like butterflies navigating a stiff August breeze.

I try unifying them into something,
a patchwork quilt of grandiose dreams
showcasing profound thoughts
that I feel are worthy of sharing
with strangers and sycophants,
maniacs and mentally sound,
downtrodden and dignitaries,
paupers and princesses
in hopes of making a lasting impression
that will forever change their lives.

But before unveiling my work to the world,
I scrutinize the stitching,
then question the pattern.

Thinking that it’s not good enough,
that it requires additional refinement,
I tear apart the completed piece.

Quickly I discover that it can’t be resewn,
reassembled
or recreated.

What was once coherent,
vibrant,
profound,
now lies in ruin.

These scraps of doubt then entomb me.

Unable to manipulate the fabric,
I remain immobilized
by a misguided attempt
to cover my perceived imperfections
and bury my profound neurosis
so my frail ego
will be shielded from nonexistent ridicule.

SURPRISE POET WITHIN

Jolt of inspiration
A person wanted to be a POET
But didn’t know where to start nor how to show it
Words starting popping into the POETS head
Words becoming sentences
Showcasing the instances
Poet to be felt inspired
Didn’t want to tire
Discovery was desired
Words open up
Distance being Close
Farness wasn’t found
Alpha Nouns and Pronouns
A true Poet in the making blooming
Word flow
Couldn’t let go
The Poet saw purpose direct
His eyes showed obvious
Word mount
Like a watery fount
Theory and Understanding
Wisdom through experience
A Poet to be had became
The Poet did see
One must test the waters and try, but requires effort
Every commitment needs determined
This is how a Poet is acknowledged
The focus up close
Discouraged by most
Surprise, Surprise
The Poet learned the concept of realize
The Poet Within.

Magnificent, Magnolious Saucer Magnolias

Twenty years ago this month I was in Enid A. Haupt Garden, a manicured
garden surrounded by two rows of saucer magnolia trees. The magnolious
large, cup shaped flowers showcasing breathtaking display of white or
pinkish-purple petals with outer petals of darker shade of pink or purple.

The petals, thick, soft and velvety scattered on the ground and benches.
I was swept away by the pleasant fragrance and captivated by the scent, a
combination of sweet, floral and slightly citrusy. A fragrance so noticeable
for the scent wafted through the garden, creating a pleasing aroma, like a
sweet lemony candy. Unforgettable! When will I see and smell them again?

Those moments in the life

If a man's time fragmented into pieces 
Of success and of fail made the beads 
A lace chained into with different color 
Of its light either stronger or weaker

Showcasing as a piece of music wire 
Producing tune by the same composer
With each theme carefully agreed well 
And listened  by audience same to player

Such the moments could a life have?
And how long a chain could tears tie?
Of a lace is chained up only with love
And shows no demise and never die

My Life

Sitting in the dark,
My shadow shines bright as I think of my future,
the one that's always criticized,
and I dwell upon my feelings the ones that always scatter in different places as criticism ingites.

Showcasing how alive it is en how powerful it can have a bigger impact on one's life,
and that's wen realisation kicks in 
as my future hides even further behind my shadow how,
how do I unbuckle the fear concentrated on the routes routed by my mindset with the help of my heart..
I scream for help but mute is he who hides his feelings with a mere smile...
Love so spiteful ripping the odds of peace promoting violence,
a mechanism so dire in consequence.

oh how blind a human eye can be,
as it sees no reason to refrain from an effect so diabolical in action as the heart screams,
"save me" for the the hundredth time..

Happiness And More

Nothing is happier than knowing our existence
We are born with a purpose
Life isn't here for nothing
Life is shared like a leaven bread.

Nothing is happier than knowing the right person
Knowing is like swimming the ocean floor
Excavating the ground for ore
Connecting someone for happiness.

Nothing is happier than knowing yourself
Knowing is like looking glass self
Showcasing skills and talents to all
Knowing to love and to be loved.

Nothing is more happier than knowing God
Acknowledging that everything we have are all His
We came from dust and dust we go back
All life, beauty and affluence all because of Him.

Cultural Ingeniousness

From field to photoshoot whiz
People has power showcasing beauty
Turn eyes to bulging wonder bees
That meets excellency in photography
Every culture has display its faces
From embroidery to color coding outfits
From pottery to exuding highlight dresses
From native musical instrument to its song hits
Reminds us the basic things of happiness
Lies in the preservation of our original mankind ingeniousness.

No regrets left

Are we living our life to the fullest?
Or just covering layer between society.
Days are less to take time out of saddest,
No friends, no family then just plant a tree.

Have great company all the time!
Then why to show the world?
That you are having nice sip of wine,
Just creating delusion in your twirl.

You are not present at the very moment,
Each of the time! Just live the presence.
You vibe just like a dull broken fragment,
You are showcasing your own absence.

Stop creating this fakeness in friendships,
All your eyes says that you all are snakes.
Don't treat everyone as in a relationship,
Not more to doubt about, people are awake!

First be yourself',
Then try to be of others.
And at the time of death,
No regrets left.

Life Is Showing Who You Are

You can start doing
What you want 
At any time.
Don't bind yourself
With age and other things
Age is never the limit
Unless you make it
Difficult for yourself
Add smile to initiate
Others to say hi and hello
To people you meet each day
Life is showing who you are
In and out, showcasing to the world.

The endless forest

The endless Forest is showcasing,
The beauty of Nature ,so satisfying.
Green and green everything,
Where life is the most happening .
Nature’s harmony on its whole swing,
As if all have got virtual wings.
So soothing and life defining,
Nature itself is rehearsing .
To witness this is amazing,
Proposition of life is redefining.
Negativity is quickly receding,
Positivity is strongly magnifying.
Yes nature is still self-sustaining,
If we are not interfering .
Let me be a part of this learning,
It secretly touches my soul’s lining.
Nature and its divine dealing,
Always promotes self-healing.

BONE BEACH

Inviting nature lovers with glee
Welcoming toward freedom where they can flee
Bone beach exudes grand artistic worth
Amidst mother Earth’s radiating mirth.

Serene in its mystical tranquil delight
While seemingly enigmatic for artifacts’ sight
Bone beach oozes with attention gain
Along its offered fascinating terrain.

As paradise for photographers in their posting zest
Designed wondrously, marked by creativity’s best
Showcasing archeological beauty as treasure
Bone beach is a place I want to visit with pleasure.
