A sleepless night
A troubled one
A fitful time
So anxious, soul anxious
Quiet down body, calm down mind
You are ruled by a wild imagination
Get up, write something
Your heart needs to still
Even as your mind wanders
Words can be cathartic
They roam the page instinctively
Finally they become weary
The mind calms down and the body relaxes
And sleep came

I worry about nothing because nothing is permanent
I worry about nothing because one cannot do anything about what one cannot control
I worry about nothing as I have a choice not to worry
I worry about nothing because tomorrow I may not be around
I worry about nothing because all problems are created by self
You have all the answers to unravel your worries
I bet that you will find things to worry about
Because that’s human nature and instinct
Do what you can
Believe that all things shall pass
And Prayer may bring you a miracle

In the midst of all the media storms
Where heroes rise
And villains fall
Consuming news daily like never before
Remember your own spectacular life
How you have taken up challenges and won
They had seemed impossible, you had sworn
Realise that we are all winners in our own ways
Pat and praise yourselves each day
The victor is in us yet we look around
God’s Grace to us abounds

Tik Tok, Tik tok
It is the restless clock
I have watched its tireless hands
Swipe off me, second by second
Some may feel it’s trivial
Others will sense it’s futile
This everlasting march of time
One considers sacred and sublime
It has bypassed me in my ignorant youth and in my restless adulthood
But now, in my senior years, time is as precious as gold, as perishable as food, and as elusive as the fleeting cloud
Time generates encounters, feelings, and actions
In which one has the ultimate control over matters
What had passed transpired as lessons for a better tomorrow
What is to come is the opportunity to achieve what one deems meaningful
Let not this ally slip away
Like a true, faithful friend waiting to build a dream with you
But may vanish with your inaction

Know one fact
No one pities you in this world
Nor will they continue to do so
You have to get up on your feet
And face your devil’s advocate
That has suppressed you for years
Making you see impossibilities and imperfections
No one cares about how you do in this world
Each is for his own
Until you have something to show for
Until you benefit this world
You will be another passerby
A final speck in the dust
But if you have inspired at least one person in your life
To fight against the odds and achieve the best
In the pursuits of your ideals have moved someone else’s dial too
You have done your role as a fellow mate
It’s a justifiably useful life lived.
