Twinkle stars in the sky Children wish one day to fly
Woollen clothes with tender stitches
Winter comes dew the pitches
Flowers blossom, grasses moisten
Itinerary of life changes often
Rekindling the mosiac of dreams.
Impinges the way to gleams.
Untie the knot around your neck
With conscience and a little introspect
Before the world tightens the rope
Clutter the false with the hope
Live the life as you aspire Become the one that you admire.
Hurt your pride just a little.
Slay the demon with your mettle
When I was very young, I learned how to tie my shoes in a tight double knot, but I couldn't untie them. I tried and tried but to no avail. I was stubborn and didn't want to ask for help, but eventually, I had to ask Mom or Dad to help me. And they did. It makes you wonder, who will untie the hard knots that humanity's responsible for?
who will rescue us
creation or creator ...
what of our children?

It Means A Lot To Me Poetry Contest

One's life has many a strand
for some the solution isn't clear
the obvious one turns out not
my answer in fact has been so near
These years of fighting my monster
yes that's it's name sits on the tongue
causing chords not to vocalise
so often your wanted words don't come
Deep frustrations working deep within
blinding oneself to real solution
that inner voice shouts let it go
this is your true and right selection
All of life been looking for release
always been there just didn't see
what does it matter if I block
just want my words to be free
So that string needs be loosed
short or long length matters not
let it go holding on is no gain
speaking gift can't be bought
Send the tension head long
over the cliff string and all
the outcome does not matter
that's you hold the head tall!
Guys in tie,
Guys untie,
At home my,
Guys untie,
Try,
Knots to untie,
Using ties!
Untie the knot this Christmas,
Have a look inside
At the gift you have been given,
It may be to 'cool' to hide!
Undo the layers of wrapping,
Find out what's hidden there.
Be careful how you open it;
It says, "Handle with care."
Unto you this gift is given,
It's stamped 'FROM GOD ABOVE'.
He sends this blessed present,
With unrequisite love.
Understand there is no motive.
This gift is free indeed.
It's given to each person,
Who truly has a need.
Unlock your heart this Christmas,
Let peace and joy flow through.
Then Christmas will be special;
Especially for you!!
