Onward March
Do not dwell on the past
If peradventure it lies
Tinged with the aftermath
Of heavy tribulation.
Rather, look steadily ahead to
The promise of the future.
For such past, remains unchanged
And within the confines of the bygone.
Yet, the future portends possibilities.
Thus, focus on the rainbows of your life
Not on the clouds in the fading distance.
Nay, expand your horizons, and aspire
Towards all potential amid the future.
Look forward!

The Extraordinary Tutor
Life is the master teacher,
With no close comparison.
For its weathered volumes of old
Are full of chapters which still
Resonate so profoundly in the
Echoes of the present, and
Will assuredly direct many a
Contemplation in the future.
Of its varied and instructive lessons…
Thus, listen very carefully, and
Observe most intently, then apply
That only which life can impart
In positive measure appropriately.
Chart Your Course Wisely!

Sound the New Refrain
Step Over It…
Whatever seeks to assail you,
Bet it of sudden or in lingering mode
Step over it
Be it the tempest of life, so cruel
Step over it
That disappointment of life, so unreal
Step over it
The heart-rending betrayal, too deep
Step over it
Whatever it is, that life
May bring to shake your core, in attempt
To eliminate tranquility and progress
That you so ardently seek,
Give it not the chance to prevail, rather
Court courage’s fierce companionship, and
My friend with utmost resolve
Step over it indeed.
Sound the new refrain and Step Over It!

Hidden Virtue
Although, natural inclination is to somewhat
Ponder on such occurrences for extended time…
Dwell not, on the shortcomings of the past,
Rather, let them instruct you for the future
Particularly towards new strategies and beginnings.
For what good is it to stagnate in irreversible tides,
When otherwise challenging circumstances, inherently,
May expand discernment to alternative options, and
Pave the pathway to brighter and greater horizons.
Stride forward not backward

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
