Am I looking for a medal
or a golden star on my worksheet,
when its just a duty to be done
with mindfulness and diligence.
A warm smile will suffice
or pat on the back or just
two words..will quench the
thirst of the parched heart.
sometimes there's a ray,
but are we holding onto
hope,looking for a sun
with eyes closed.
Is it a predicament or
punishment Or are we
in a dilemma ,as to
what to name and call it?
Are we so confused and
reluctant to see and take
things as it is,worrying
about anticipated ripples.
Dont hold onto ever changing
moments nor tug your heart hard,
hold that hand tight,walk on
right path,single step a time,
will lead to bliss.
Church and fortress of clay that shone bright with might
Monastery of the faith of light
Though brief like a small spark stored
Earth quaked and flames roared
Dragons stared
Sward
Angels cared
An island ignored
Eternal with heaven’s lord
As the radiant white moon at night
Church and fortress of clay that shone bright with might
