Find Your Answers In Solitude

Solitude, Sweet solitude

In this state, I have developed the fortitude

To dream, create, and inspire

From a flame to a burning desire

Watching the swaying willow tree

Did set my imagination free

Solitude was felt in the depths of the blue

Cruising through the water calm and cool

Where one could only listen to one’s air

And watch life go about without a care

Solitude was felt in my morning jog

It’s the time the mind clears its fog

Ideas, thoughts, and solutions surface

To counter the problems of this rat race

Solitude empowers in its quiet moments

It brings about enlightenment

It sets free the shackles of self-doubt, angst, and fears

Solitude, Sweet Solitude, you put an end to my tears.

O, You Restless Soul

To a friend who always calls me ‘a restless soul’

Rest, rest, You Restless soul!
Many times you have been told
Gaze at the world as it goes by
Not heave and pant and needless sigh

Then came forth an inner sound
Can’t do this, can’t do this, as it pound
The world has moved too quick
I can’t keep up to speed

Its been like this, for an endless time
Change will come in many kinds

Take up the task, just like the few
The world has plenty to amaze you

Roll with the punches, go with the flow
Gain more knowledge as you grow old
Indeed, life keeps looking up
And one must never give it up

That this world has lots more to bequeath
Despite the bad news that persists
Hope and faith must never fade
Cos it’s still our lovely world to make.

Watch Your Thoughts

Moments of emptiness

Moments of happiness

Moments of despair

All moments are like two-sided coins

While one side tells a story

On the other side, you tell your story

There is no good or bad thing

But the way you perceive it

And the way you want to view it

Like the half-filled glass that may be construed as half-full or half-empty

Like the famous drawing that may be construed as a young lady or an old woman

Like the image that may be construed as a vase or two faces

You take your pick in life

I choose to see the beauty in every objection

I choose to see the solution in every confrontation

I choose to see hope in every situation

Life is your own destiny

Life is what you make of it

Life is simply wonderful.
