Change Confronted

Change is the steady pulse of human existence

For without  a doubt, it interjects itself

Unfailing into the course and scheme of life

Thus with the armour of this knowledge, be prepared

To confront the aspect of change should it appear

Even if its essence would take more time to conquer.

Be of good courage.

Benjoy’s Corner (2)

The Gift

The treasure of time

Is purely inestimable.

For no earthly riches,

Can purchase moments past

Or bargain in futility the future.

Neither, can they, in vain venture

Extend the portion preordained.

Thus my friend…

With wisdom safeguard

Thine most precious blessing

Attending to it truly earnestly

And in all dimensions most prudently.

ASSURANCE

For everything there is a purpose …
Sometimes certain things occur,
Perhaps of sudden, perhaps of not.
And are accompanied by such untold grief
That repeated contemplation deep
Offers no answers sought.
Then the grief assumes unrelenting form,
Whilst life continues without stopping a pause
To cradle the desperate mind in its despair.

Yet for that tear, a smile shall linger still…
Even though never-ending the bleakness appears,
Seek solace amidst the comforting assurance
That faith will find its way to reappear,
And when quantified, will surely multiply relief.
For the Lord who knoweth the scope of all things
Shall forever embrace thee in his grace
Surround you at all times with his love
And assuredly … will by his mighty hand ease the pain.

The Quest

Why?

Alas, amid the multitude of evolving scenes

And through the sum and schemes of life

None can make proud boast of this …

The ever perfect balance, between all forces

In constant tranquility of absolute concordance.

An all elusive mirage indeed.

For in life’s journey,

Of certain, there is no perfect script …

Thus, be not deceived to seek that fallacy.

Rather enhanced by faith, embrace real possibilities,

Explore life in full measure and with utmost integrity.

Above all, steady premium attach to private peace

For that can transcend the cascades of emotions

And transform the valleys of darkest despair,

While fortifying the soul, with courage from within

To find comfort in acceptable personal equilibrum

Sufficient to satisfy and propel the mind diligently onward.

                                                       Enduring peace I bid to you my friend …
