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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

Betrayal, is beholden to nobody but its own anarchy
Its paths of destruction, holding no mercy for those
Who unaware, find themselves within its unbridled fury,
For with determination, it intently eliminates all fairness
As consolidates its shores to advance its desires only.
Beware …

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.
