I look at it past midnight

It is the birth of another day

The day before seems far away

I can’t stop the tide of time

What can?

Nothing

It will persist into eternity

What will last?

Nothing

Just seize each moment

How to defeat procrastination (Also published in ‘The Power of Poetry’)

Oh, those few letters,

They are by no means trite.

If you feel that you are on tethers,

You mustn’t give up the fight.

Little by little you begin,

Little by little you gain,

Little by little you work at your goal,

You will get there, Lo and behold!

One step at a time from your idea,

Ignore the pitfalls that may appear.

Start a good habit that must stick,

Repeat it until you feel its kick.

If a bad habit is to stay,

You need to counter in an opposing way.

However hard it is to act,

Do something to start an impact.

Cut out what is in the way,

Set your priorities right each day.

Focus on the task at hand,

Surely things will go as planned.

Set your deadline as you give it all,

As it’s human to delay and stall.

Start now if you still procrastinate,

Or you’ll forever remain obstinate.

The human being is a core of emotions

Easily moved, hurt and impassioned

Stay strong, stay firm, stay positive

The storms of life do get more active

It can make you lose your heart and soul

Then your body literally goes cold

Light it up, my friend

Face it and make a stand

Do not let them drag you to the ground

Where all hopes and dreams are trounced

Remember it’s just the range of emotions

That may have set you in negative motion

To do what you may regret

And that you will never forget

You are free to choose how you want to feel

Any card that life may deal

Choose to be happy, calm, and serene

In the end, the event passed as if in a scene

The next day brings another task

You now know well that everything is within your grasp.

Rambling thoughts for The Power of Poetry

Imagine a life that is smooth sailing

It looks too good to be true

You live your life as if all are cool

But it is not good and meaningful

Imagine everyone is living the dream

No one learns anything

They live for themselves with ease

As if the world has eternal peace

No, no, no…

It will never be that way

Life is complex

But one need not be perplexed

The real world will put us to the test

With people, things, and stuff to dare us

That’s what will make life intriguing

As we think of ways to unravel anything

Imagine a world with challenges

That has always been so through the ages

I believe that we are endowed with divine guidance

That’s why the human race will forever advance.

Imagine a world with no troubles

That’s certainly not possible

But man has the ultimate rational, thinking brain

Only he can make any troubles wane.

When the world is turbulent

You do what you can to keep sane

Because it’s too far away

And fretting does not ease your pain

Life still goes on in your town

Your daily living remains challenging

There is no point to keep the frown

Live your best to be inspiring

When you can overcome your poor emotion

Then you will set in motion

A path to hope and peace

Your agony will finally cease.

Let not each day be a trouble

Each person has a unique path

All are within one’s power

Keep calm, keep cool and laugh

Know why ( The Power of Poetry)

Why do people argue?

Do you pause and catch your breath?

And ask, “What are your three fundamental principles?”

Of worldview, personal outlook, and value

Do you consider these factors seriously?

If they are similar

You are likely to have a fruitful chat

If not, it is more likely to be a spat

What’s the use of argument?

Between persons of different thought levels and values

They will never have a meeting of minds

Even logic, feelings, and reality will turn blind

The human mind is not easily changed

Argument leads to more disagreement and discontent

Into a situation of being belittled

It may end a relationship and leave one bitter.

Silence may be a good response

Silence does not induce anger in the overbearing person

It does not mean that you are wrong

There is no need to prove your worth

Distant oneself

There is no necessity to be inclusive in everything

There is no need to win a verbal squabble

That will escalate to more trouble

What is a fruitful chat?

When there is a good feeling between the two

One of ease, connection, and comfort

When you share the three basic ethics

Reflect internally and know

Your worldview, personal outlook, and values

Before you start to argue with another

Then it is more likely to be a good heart talk.
