Disappointment’s Virtue

Disappointment, yet may transform into a motivator.
If it is viewed beyond what it ordinarily portends,
And is earnestly assessed for the accompanying lessons,
Thus yielding much introspection leading to circumspection.
Resulting in determination to advance forward, navigate renewed
To embrace new horizons, fortified and much wiser still.

Benjoy’s Corner (Immutable Change)

The element of life that alters not

Is the steadfast immutability of change,

Thus, if it pervades through life with known constancy,

‘Twill be improvident, if in the pursuit of life, change is

Not anticipated, earnestly prepared for, and adapted to.

Benjoy’s Corner 9 (Opportunity’s Gift)

 

 

An opportunity of a lifetime …

Is only the opportunity of the lifetime

If it is identified and recognized  as such,

Embraced and diligently pursued, and

Extracted of the fullest potential it heralds

To one’s benefit and best advantage.

Benjoy’s Corner 8 (Precious Time)

Failure to utilize time in advancement of life

Particularly one’s life, is an absolute tragedy

Of measurable and immeasurable dimensions.

Move On

Do not castigate yourself endlessly
Nor subject yourself to constant reproach, or
Incessantly scathing personal recrimination,
For, but imperfect is our life journey, and
Blemished certain trails we sometimes pursue.
Yet know ye, that even the stalwart and ramrod
Of disposition are indeed still malleable, but
Shielded with the distinction of determination
Resolve not to disintegrate under the scrutiny, and
Limelight of the flawed existence of mortality.
Rather, cloak thyself with clear and piercing insight
To acknowledge frailties and experiences therefrom.
Arm thyself with the refuge of wisdom, to ensure
That thy perspective is unveiled in assessment
Of the failings that attend within thine existence.
Dwell not on the limitations or infirmities of the mould
Nay, courage most ardently seek, sufficient grace to
Forgive thyself embrace, while nurturing steadfastly the
Peace that elevates the spirit and dissipates confusion,
And with the confidence of maturity acquired through
Lessons, advance beyond the stagnation of shortcomings
To forge onward with confidence and enduring hope.

The Unlikely Springboard

The question …

Is not why they hate you

For hate has been present through the ages.

Rather, the preferred inquiry should be

Will you allow such hate, to pin you down

Wallowing deep into the abyss of self-pity.

Or propel you, onto motivation’s pathways

Undeterred, in continuous pursuit of your dreams.

Choose wisely…  for your life

Is worth the best effort you can muster on its behalf

Rather than dwelling with such draining negativity.

Treachery’s Ultimatum

Treachery, can aptly masquerade as

Loyal confidants attending your courts…

Thus vigilance attend to most earnestly.

Lest the schemes of deceit surprise present

At arm’s length, or in close proximity

Seeking to strike with a lethal blow,

Determined wholeheartedly to destroy.

For treachery knoweth no measure of peace

Save it supplant tranquility with ruination.

Therefore, cloak yourself in the armour of

Unwavering faith, stalwart of integrity, and

With wisdom, most cautiously guard thy ways.

Benjoy’s Corner 7 (Betrayal’s Diaries-iv)

Whether lurking in the shadows of the night.
Or unsheathed by the piercing scrutiny of vigilance.
The traitor’s cloak, is woven with deceitful fibers,
Saturated with disguise and peculiar camouflage.
Most often, undetected by the encircled prey
As it, adeptly advances to foist its might, on the
Unsuspecting for the simple pleasure of ruination
To its pure satisfaction, and sheer macabre delight.

Be wise…

Benjoy’s Corner 7 (Betryal’s Diaries-iii)

Treachery in its very essence
Seeks furtively only to betray.
Indeed, it but strives fervently
Not to provide fair warning
Of its impending deception.
Rather, inherent to its nature,
Withholds notice, until its
Diabolical agenda reveals itself
Perchance, or through the signature
Of its cruel deeds and ensuing ordeal.

Be wise…

Benjoy’s Corner 7 (Betrayal’s Diaries -ii)

Beware of that seemingly cloaked with loyalty,

Masquerading as genuine relationships,

For within the trails of betrayal neither subsist.

Rather, they are but a dissipating mirage,

Mere pawns to be abused for want of its cause

And in the web, it aptly spins for its own survival.
