Benjoy’s Corner X-7

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!

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!

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.

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.

Treachery’s Ultimatum

Treachery, can aptly masquerade as

Loyal confidants attending your courts…

Thus vigilance attend to most earnestly.

Lest the schemes of deceit surprise present

At arm’s length, or in close proximity

Seeking to strike with a lethal blow,

Determined wholeheartedly to destroy.

For treachery knoweth no measure of peace

Save it supplant tranquility with ruination.

Therefore, cloak yourself in the armour of

Unwavering faith, stalwart of integrity, and

With wisdom, most cautiously guard thy ways.

Benjoy’s Corner 7 (Betrayal’s Diaries-iv)

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…

Benjoy’s Corner 7 (Betryal’s Diaries-iii)

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…

Beware of that seemingly cloaked with loyalty,

Masquerading as genuine relationships,

For within the trails of betrayal neither subsist.

Rather, they are but a dissipating mirage,

Mere pawns to be abused for want of its cause

And in the web, it aptly spins for its own survival.

Benjoy’s Corner 7 (Betrayal’s Diaries -i)

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 …
