Wisdom Prevailing

Refrain from courting the seductive enticement

Of the dastardly but evidently harmful trap,

For attendant to and within the darkness of the pit

Lie ills of ruinous and horrendous proportion.

Although alluring it may appear, as it beckons

With the tantalizing aroma of feigned attraction,

Endeavour not to accept its deceptive invitation

Wherein disaster of certain takes sure habitation.

 

Rather, with resolve, listen and follow ardently

Wisdom’s refrain, and pursue ye so earnestly

The alternative promise of hope’s true reality,

And that which is patently of responsible order.

For even though it, may emerge and fully unfold

Only whence its dawning is but timely and due, the

Persisting triumph, over that ominous snare, which

Loomed so treacherously to derail the benign spirit,

Will multiple the reward of faithful patience, and

Coupled with the bounty of a virtuous promise,

Justify the endurance that directed your upright steps

And sustained your days along the propitious course.

Elevated Relevancy

We are all elements within the greater cause.

Therefore, we must seek and find our roles

And points of positive connection with others,

Towards the dignified respect of, and certainly

For the advancement of the cause of humanity.

Your actions count!

Failure Revealed

Falling is not failure …

Nay failure, is failing to stand up after the fall

To transcend the challenge with renewed courage,

Or failing to embrace the promise of opportunities

That before one with the bounty of inspiration appear,

And decidedly, ignoring the echoes of encouragement

Seeking to persuade the aching spirit, but rather

Assuming the tangled cloak of woe and utter misery

To wallow in the comfort of abject helplessness to the

Grand disillusionment of the propulsion of hope itself.

Tis then, failure multiplies in its fullest dimension

Poised to overwhelm those that elect to court it nonetheless.

Where is 2013?

Now that with expectancy we bid welcome to 2014

And resolve with determination to seek and embrace

Our portion of the bountiful promise amid this new year,

Let us not in hasty abandon cast into oblivion the passage of 2013.

For it, likewise came upon us as a new beginning of possibilities and hope.

And though, its moments have forever dissipated into the tunnel of existence.

Yet, within that past, that seems to fade deeply into the recesses of time

Truly elusive, lies unchanging the peaks and valleys of life’s previous course

Traversed within then concrete space, transforming into earned experience

To anchor our future paths with enriched knowledge and cultivated wisdom.

Thus as the new commences, forget ye not the instructive lessons of old

Rather, in its totality, let that year’s long journey, like others past, always

Guide future contemplation and choice towards the bounty embedded

Within the renewed cycle of prospects and horizons of the evolving year.

Thank you 2013.

Dreams Magnified

The span of life is not boundless . . .

Therefore, with all determination

Pursue your dreams, and resolve to climb

The mount Everest of your dreams.

Live Yours

We all have unique races to run.

Yea, we  may fairly emulate or even learn

From the wealth of exemplary attributes.

But envy not or attempt to become another,

For it is but a wasted venture, rather use

Laudable lessons to aid your singular pathways

And explore your potential to the fullest degree, to

Augment and compliment the dimension of your essence.

Cherish Living

Cherish the living of each moment, before it

Dissipates within the elements of life…

For time, like a mirage fast fades steadily,

Evaporating as vapours into the mystic

Sphere of existence, while yet transforming

Into the elusive and abides no longer tangible.

But, yet when reflections court nostalgia

Those moments assume the poignancy

Of the present past, although not physical

Sufficiently powerful to cause revival of

The previous emotions accompanying

Certain times past in their original form.

Thus, as that which is gone has not the ability to

Attain the perceptible nature of its bygone era,

While it is present, earnestly treasure its value, to

Aid, not only the nurturing of the present moments

But the stimulating nature of the past and hope of the future.

Benjoy X-9

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!

Benjoy’s Corner X-5

Lasting Legacy

Be thou not deceived to the contrary …

For ‘tis undoubtedly worth the investment

To safeguard that constant companion, which

Subsists with thee as you journey forward

Through the scenes and storms of life’s sequence.

 

Though its foundation is fashioned early, still

It is further cast, amid survival, and certainly tides.

Evolving into character distinctively defining

The core of every being, steering each conscience

Towards the conviction of that candid courage.

 

Therefore, forsake it not, for want of the

Hollow lure of the flawed attributes, steadfastly

Embrace it for all seasons, even though, the

Winds fiercely billow, or tranquility yet prevails, so

That in the final accounting, integrity rewards thee.

Extol all virtue!

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.
