Benjoy’s Corner X-6

Failed Agenda

What is defeat, but another challenge,

Encountered along the way, which may

Inherently seek to derail and project lingering

Emotions of dejection and hopelessness.

Why give it the opportunity, to execute

Its untoward agenda and pervade the

Remaining course with that abject resignation

When assuredly, it can be limited in essence.

Nay, squarely determine to reverse the tide

By employing inward resilience and valor

In favor of transcending the circumstances, and

Certainly defeating that which seeks to defeat.

Don’t be discouraged!

Benjoy’s Corner X-2

The Greater Endowment

The inestimable treasure of existence

Beyond all earthly measure, is the

Precious but limited gift of life.

Thus, it is but incumbent upon each

To nurture the bequest to the fullest

Dimension of its inherent potential

In honor of the opportunity to live.

Embrace the gift!

Motivation Nonetheless

Condemnation by others …

May just be the ironical motivation

Required to transcend life’s challenges.

Therefore, my friend transform such to thy advantage.

Renewed

The promise of tomorrow

Brings with it the spring of  hope

Renewed dreams and multiple aspirations.

Therefore, let not the dim and dark

Recollections of the past

Anchor you immutably and

Out of reach of the dawn of hope

Embedded amid new beginnings.

Rather, with bold expectations

Embrace the future and strive

Unreservedly towards the

Treasure of your goals.

Life Indeed

Although the reason for existence

May not have been fully elucidated,

To limit the questions abounding

About the essential and real purpose

Of this terrestrial realm we inhabit.

Yet, should time here be thus

Squandered in futile adventure

For lack of absolute clarity.

Nay, each moment as gift, apportioned

And confined, but not defined wholly

By destiny, should be explored diligently

To the breadth of its potential,

Lest we fail to grasp and accomplish

That which was our portion to receive

And the true meaning of life indeed.

An Unending Gift

My gift to you is this…
I wish for you now and always
The peace of God, the foundation
And maker of the whole universe,
Which peace, exceeds the knowledge
Of mere humanity, but from within its
Boundless and sustaining essence, remains
An ever faithful impenetrable anchor
Which, calms the ripples and turbulence of life,
Transforms the sphere of human perception
Yet, assuredly provides enduring solace
And the tranquility of comforting relief
In aid of the spirit that embraces it.

The Riddle

One enigmatic aspect of this life …
May just lie within its illusive nature.
For certain, it is predestined for each
An allotted dimension with this sphere.
Without a shadow of a doubt, what is past
Lies wholly an irretrievable quota, and
Is dissipated within the winds of time,
Coupled with the continuing challenge
Of accomplishing the outstanding agenda
Within a future measure that is uncertain.

Benjoy’s Corner 11 (Time’s Passage)

Make earnest account of the time bequeathed ye.
For moments past, fade dim, are no longer tangible,
Can only relived through the realm of recollection
And avail you not in the extension of your days.

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.
