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!

Benjoy’s Corner X-1

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.

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.

Nurture Not Complaining

Nurture not the practice of complaining

For it is but an anchor for stagnation,

Within which, withers due promise of hope,

Causing thereby, the gradual demise of motivation,

That otherwise, would have found abode to

Flourish towards the fulfillment of dreams.

Rob Thyself No More

To steal from one’s self is bad enough
But to procrastinate is the worst sort.
For time lost is never regained
Save through the futile guise of memory
And if it has been said too often
Surely it still will be repeated once still
“Procrastination is the thief of time”.

So make haste and don’t delay
Toil, labour with all your might today.
Let not the wily thief rob of you
What is more precious than gold.
For once that glorious sun sets today
No matter how hard we hope and pray
Another morning shall indeed dawn again.

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 (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.
