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.

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.

Failure to utilize time in advancement of life
Particularly one’s life, is an absolute tragedy
Of measurable and immeasurable dimensions.

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.

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…

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…

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.

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.

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 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!
