An Awakening

Acknowledging An Awakening

The brilliant orb of light awakens me

The Eye of Judgement from heaven above

 It pierces my downcast emotions

Condemning and rebuking me

For my unwarranted despondency

Wishing for something even I cannot define

It stabs and spears at my voracity

And my failure to comprehend

That my rational needs have all been met. 

Reality crashes through my melancholy

Charging me with disapproval and admonition 

Shaming me for my ingratitude.

Scattering my despondency to oblivion!

I humbly review my good fortune

So unrivalled that I bow in shame

I acknowledge all the notable blessings

Supplied so bountifully throughout my days

That I revile at my ingratitude

And renounce my senseless greed!

Timely Discovery

I found this poem when I was browsing through my files today.  I don't remember when I wrote it but it seems so appropriate  for what  I have been going through lately.  I wanted to share it with you. I apologize if it is  a repeat. 

Managing Impatience

What I feared did not happen

What I imagined did not come through

What I planned did not materialize

All my lists just followed queue.

 I suppose I should be grateful

I know less than I thought I knew

This time my apprehension

Failed to raise a coup!

It stressed me out for nothing

It frazzled me to no end

I could have stayed unruffled

But I failed to comprehend

Life is what we make it

We fear what we don’t know

If we face it with timidity

It’ll defeat us just to show

Fear cripples our capacity

To be the best that we can be

It limits our potential

And zaps our energy.

It makes us question everything

We used to think was right

It makes us fear the future

And makes us run in flight.

We multiply the negatives

The bad things that could go wrong

 We cripple that great spirit

That used to be so strong

We conjure up scenarios

Of catastrophic mayhem 

It cripples our potential

And serves as our REQUIM!

Amended Goals

Another Year,  Another Spring

Another year, another spring

Another promise in the making

Another dream, a goal, a vision

A new opportunity for undertaking

That task that once seemed so important

That I spent such hours in scheming

Has somehow lost its zest appeal

And no longer now has much meaning.

For ambitions seem to shift and change

With the whims of my emotions

They stray and flounder under stress

And alter prior devotions.

Progress and Change

Numbered Aspirations

My days are now more precious

More treasures I do see

More birds sing at my window

New melodies to me.

There’s a sweeter breeze caressing

My face as it wafts on by

It sighs and whispers softly

Of days so long gone by.

My life so fast is changing

I hardly can keep up

But I know that all these changes

I really don’t wish to stop!

So you breezes keep on whispering

Fuel my spirit with your fire

For it’s only through these struggles

That I’ll achieve what I desire.

Cause a spirit that is stagnant

That no longer has a goal

Is an essence that’s departed

Like the body with no soul.
