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

Betrayal, is beholden to nobody but its own anarchy

Its paths of destruction, holding no mercy for those

Who unaware, find themselves within its unbridled fury,

For with determination, it intently eliminates all fairness

As consolidates its shores to advance its desires only.

Beware …

Sorrow Not Beyond Sorrow’s Due

When situation occasions agony
And sorrow’s pain tends to linger on.
Forbear prolonged lamentation,
Lest in triumph it thrives and flourishes
Overcoming all avenues for joy within.
For the sorrow nurtured and kept alive
Forever as a companion tends to stays beside…
While that disposed of, in time, dissipates
Sparing more tears and anguish pronounced.
Nurture misery not, grief ‘s plan neither abet.
Truly, it is the soul, that despairs, that must
For its benefit, to hope eternal cling…
And the heart that in distressed anguish weeps
For its own plain relief, gladness must seek.
Thus within life’s brevity meant for all things
Extend not sorrow if it adventures near, that
It may not find habitation beyond its due…
But in earnest, room make for emotions pleasant,
Because ’tis when sorrow is bid farewell
That happiness, can fulfill its means and purpose
In joy’s delight and comfort, blossom free
Residing indeed amid inner solace and peace.

The Moon By Day

Amazing was the thought

That ’twas the moon seen that morn.

All gaze directed towards the sky,

Conviction seeking that it was the sun.

Forsooth, ’twas but indeed the moon

Up yonder in the sky clear blue.

As it lingered in the morning sky

Its presence a message of hope brought,

That boons of certain do appear, if only

We with heedful measure discern their essence

When of sudden they present in full view.

For although, the night sky its domain be,

Yet it was there, brilliant in the daylight

And oh, what a wondrous sight…

Indeed a blessing, and not in disguise

Tolling aloud, a message of pleasant assurance

That e’en if life’s pattern unchanging appear

Often a reminder comes along to boldly declare

That the exceptional in nature also doth transpire

…Thus the moon by day.

Progress Indeed

Progress is a watchword of the vigilant
For its essence inspires the spirit through
Rightful recognition of the accomplished,
And thus rewards toil and steadfastness in
Tangible account and visible dimension.

Therefore, my friend make not small delight
Of continuous propulsion through life’s maze.
For advancement surely supersedes stagnation.
Nay, not only embrace what thou hath completed
Regard it as springboard for inspiration and the future.

Much good luck!

Benjoy’s Corner 6

The opportunity of a lifetime

Always, may not present itself

In the adornment of riches.

Nay, it may yet be revealed

Within the simplicity of the richness

Of other dimensions which earnestly attach

Value to life beyond calculated wealth.

Therefore, my friend attend to vigilance

That ye may recognize that bountiful boon

And open the door to fully embrace it

When it knocks in whatever form…

To transform your journey for the better.

Almighty God of All the Earth

Almighty God of all the earth
Thy wonders ceaseth not.
In all thy majesty I pray
Ye hear me when I call.

Forgive me all my sins my Lord.
Forgive me all I’ve done.
Please wash me with the blood of Christ
And sanctify my soul.

I struggle deep with the pains of life.
I wrestle in my faith, but do believe, and
Still hold firmly within my frame
That Christ saves, and will come again.

Empower me with thy strength, oh God.
Embrace me fully in thy love,
That when the strife of life doth come
Within thy grace, I’ll always walk.

And at last, when that fated Rubicon I cross,
When in awe, thy blessed face I see
That I’ll sing on high with all thy saints
Thank God, earth’s life wasn’t in vain.

Benjoy’s Corner (5)

Inherent in the essence of life’s constant motion

Is the constancy of change, second after second

No moment is in complete dimension,

The same as the past, present or future…

Therefore, as the changing times of existence

May accumulate into centuries of progress,

Earnestly regard change as part of human enterprise

Thus, make it count on your behalf…

And not as an obstacle.

Benjoy’s Corner (4)

Love thyself unconditionally,
For, from thence followeth the
Courage, character and confidence
Required to journey onward steadfastly
And in virtuous measure through
Life’s undulating courses and adventure.

Benjoy’s Corner (3)

Acknowledge not only the grand successes of life …
Compliment yourself also on the simplest triumphs
Of life, so casually overshadowed by the routine.
For the definition of accomplishment rings constant
Whether of dimensions monumental or to the contrary.
For indeed, the sum total of life is the cumulative
Measure of the inherent victories of the moments of each day.

Embrace Life …

COURAGE’S STEP

Exude before thou tread
All confidence in thy being.
Shew not timid spirit.
Yield not to intimidation
And favor not like fears.
But with courage, step forth
To empower thy very essence
As enduring and reliable shield
In triumph over this pilgrimage.
For they that with thee likewise walk
Are better not in measure than thee,
Nor entertain they less trepidation.

For in firm embrace coupled with
Stalwart conviction and boldness,
Some in diligence proceed forward
To succeed and conquer still.

Therefore in all things
Embrace fortitude
… And stride.
