In the grip of Time, a silent flow,
From Roman days to Gregorian glow,
A dance of clocks, a crafted frame,
A social construct, a human claim.
In the realm of Time, where moments wane,
A social construct, we seek to gain.
From Roman roads to the Gregorian call,
We build our order, yet stumble and fall.
Power we chase, in the currency of money,
Yet what is it worth if life isn’t sunny?
In the mines of existence, we toil and we sweat,
Digging for precious metals, our value upset.
Education shines like the brightest of gems,
Illuminating paths, breaking down stems.
Yet the heart of the matter lies deeper than gold,
In the minerals of wisdom, true stories unfold.
It's up to us to remember, as we strive and we seek,
That the true worth of our journey is not just the peak.
For in each fleeting moment, through struggle and strife,
Lies the beauty of time, the essence of life.
“The employee shortage is so bad that long haired freaky people can now apply!”
~ seen on a mobile sign
Being of sorta sound mind and long hair,
I dare to compare myself with the supporters,
defenders of the length though “at my age, I
S
H
O
U
L
D”
cut it in a current style to look younger, I’m told.
Stand up. Stand proud. Stand firm.
My hair length does not define my age, my hubris,
my intelligence, my popularity, my worth, or my freakiness.
Whatever… Maybe now I will be able to get a job. LOL
I really like to listen to music when I do home chores:
It inspires, motivates, relaxes, recharges me
Staying alone, I put headphones in and think
When it's bad, when it's good, painful, joyful,
When in doubtful, anxious and loneliness sets in
It helps thoughts flow in the right direction
That's the right thing I do, I feel smooth
I do this often when I cook scramble eggs
Music is my backgound sound to beat eggs
The scrumbled eggs were always delicious,
Juicy and tender to cook with some spices
Same with people nearby, music makes you aware
I always feel them so warm when I do the cooking
Music makes me feel considerate, bright and close
Just like music, the people and scrambled eggs
I always feel fascinated the things I love to do.
I may not be in the best position to give advice
but know that this little ditty comes from the heart ~
Self-respect goes a long way.
Set your boundaries and stand your ground.
People will want to play their games,
when they get close you'll fend them off.
Guard your integrity with your life,
it's the best thing that you've got.
To Daniel, dear friend, I confess,
A yearning deep, a need to express,
The value I hold, the worth I see,
In this bond we share, just you and me.
I strive to show, with actions true,
My support, my loyalty to you.
To listen close, to offer aid,
And celebrate the joys we've made.
But if my efforts seem to stray,
Or doubts arise along the way,
Know this, my friend, my heart's intent,
To cherish our connection, fervent.
Perhaps a conversation, open and sincere,
Can bridge the gaps and banish fear.
For in this friendship, I find my grace,
A bond I cherish, a warm embrace.
When this body, a shoddy tent,
Is folded and tucked away,
Of no more use, it’s value spent,
Only memories left as communique.
What remarkable gifts did it leave?
Did it accomplish any good?
Will it be known just for its ease,
Or did it do everything it could?
Was it an intense and shining light,
That helped others upon the Path,
Showing passage in the night,
To escape the world’s evil wrath?
Will it be known for moral integrity,
Compassion and solace to those in need?
How many in the sea of community
Will know any of its worthy deeds?
Did it stand against the storms,
Braving opposition that souls be served?
When flooded by nefarious norms,
Did it miraculously stronger emerge?
Dry skin is better in the morning
Wash the face, rinse the residues
Then, use your system
For oily and combination skin
Favorite remedy in the evening
Mask for lazy people
Go to bed early
And in the morning
You're like a pouring apple.
Don't be too much
Available
To anyone.
Control your love
Control yourself
Left some to self.
Left some value
To have for self
Or else empty.
Give some space
For self error
Else love no thrill.
Though you are rich
You need respect
It's worth is gold.
Though you're pretty
If no respect
You are worthless.
Though you're clever
If no respect
You're still fool.
Though you're famous
If no respect
You'll fall one day.
Be yourself and do what you are confident about
Going through tough times have ways to fix things
Build it slowly and everything will be fine
Success is not just sitting, thinking and talking
We don't know where the obstacles and difficulties are
We have to act first
The most important thing is
Don't take your ignorance passed by
Come to command or judge others
Success requires brain and self action
If you have little capital
You need a lot of brains to calculate
That's the value point here.
The value of life is beyond measure,
In every moment lies hidden treasure.
Tie it with the thread of dreams,
Make each day your own, it seems.
Learn the art of living through strife,
In every obstacle, a new path for life.
With love, compassion, and truth by your side,
These are the colors where joy resides.
Time flows like a river’s song,
Memories hold where smiles belong.
The essence of life is the bond we share,
Connecting hearts with tender care.
Hear the melody in every heartbeat,
Life is a symphony, gentle and sweet.
Let’s come together to nurture its glow,
And let the colors of life forever flow.
All I have
of lasting value
is my heart to give
the antiques
in the attic
just gather dust
plastics become brittle
and metal to rust
cloth disintegrates
and if sentiments on cards alone
what true value is a poem?
as museums
need constant
renovation --
an indentured
in and out curator --
while the heart stays with me
everywhere I go --
awake or asleep
unlike tides that ebb and flow
my love for God is constant
enough for me that He eternally
know....
Held back not,
Truth timed walk.
Proceed without cane,
Proceed without fault.
Clear pathway, clear head, calm heart.
Depart, foolish fleck
Fictional debris
plays no part
Neither dust nor speck.
Disguised as lies
bypass the wear
Bypass the tear
Fixated eyes
You're nearly there
Embracing truth
Unfailingly wise
Gently inclined
Owning time
Forsake recline
From whom hide
Declared in spirit
Warm as sun
Your worth doeth shine.
Anchored, secured
Shielded, guarded
Retreated ashore
Reminders unfolded
Strengthened
Protection
Swarming the moor
Distant wind
distant current
Dejected, declined
Astute in mind
Secured & bolted
This way inclined
Mildly defined
Godly refined
Most surely beloved
Your worth Doeth shine
Never to get favor
By disgracing other
It's like climbing mountain
As someone pushing you up
The winning has value
When having the self effort
Is done not in disdain but privy
Victory that is worthy is happiness.
Words you speak can cut deep into the minds of those who are circling the path for knowledge and kindness.
They that reach the ears of the young can ether help them persevere or crumble their futures and lives into the grains of the dust of finality.
They can tell all of truth that is around or they can tell a lie with an ounce of truth in it.
Words can inspire the beauty as a drop of wet dew in the morning welcomes the colors of the world.
They can encourage a different way, enacting change when needed in the stoned hearts of others,
They give voices to those in the world who are silenced and propel them into the future louder than the calls of war.
Passion, anger and love, words that have the power to debate on trivial stuff so much that the voices of tomorrow are silenced, and the voices of the past aren't protected for the future.
What words of your will people remember you by in life and in death.
