On Being Yourself poem
On Being Yourself- author unknown
You must learn that you cannot be loved by all people You can be the finest apple in the world - ripe, juicy, sweet, succulent - and offer yourself to all. But you must remember that there will be people who do not like apples. You must understand that if you are the world's finest apple, and someone you love does not like apples, you have the choice of becoming a banana. But you must be warned that if you choose to become a banana you will be a second-rate banana. But you can always be the finest apple. You must also realise that if you choose to be a second-rate banana. There will be people who do not like bananas. Furthermore, You can spend your life trying to become the best banana - which is impossible if you are an apple - or you can seek again to be the finest apple

Nightfall
Nightfall
The day is ending
The sun drops below the horizon
And yet there is light which stays on
Twilight from the very earth itself
held there holding back the fall
of night
The pall descends softly
A silent blanket of darkness
A faint rumble impairs the hush
Even this disappears and frogs
Begin their tireless chorus
Silenced as the windows close
and drapes hide the crescent moon.
The day is ending
The sun drops below the horizon
And yet there is light which stays on
Twilight from the very earth itself
held there holding back the fall
of night
The pall descends softly
A silent blanket of darkness
A faint rumble impairs the hush
Even this disappears and frogs
Begin their tireless chorus
Silenced as the windows close
and drapes hide the crescent moon.

Life
like a yatch
out in the ocean
on a glorious day
you can sail as slow or
as fast as you want
in anyway the wind blows
so don't forget
to take the time
to have a splash,
dive, jump and
just enjoy
the ride
while it lasts!

About this poem:
the child in me...Moonsay
A gibbous moon lying low
Seemed to beckon my thoughts
In the fulsome of my grief
I sneered at her.
In reflected sunlight
What goodness is there ?
A dark shadow crossed its face
Seemed small but huge so far away
I addressed the moon again
Indeed you are more than
I can ever know
How much did you lend
In omens and bane forsooth
The strange events on earth
Ever good apiece full blown
For ever doomsay on the wane
Is the black bird an alien fane
There for all to see
may be an alien ship
so huge but small
as seen on golden disc.
I send greetings pale goddess
May all our dreams be of the best
How did we fare before you came
And what strange forces lie within
I long to come and see
As some have done
But will not tell.

About this poem:
There is much which withheld from us about the moon.
Stuck in Traffic
Fast was spoken
Those harsh words
Whistles blowing
Fingers pointing
Commanding my attention
Directing me places
I didn’t want to go
My life… a big detour
Stuck in a hot swell
Of stinking exhaust
Plumes falling apart
Black clouds parting
Ushering me in
And swallowing
Me whole
Those harsh words
Whistles blowing
Fingers pointing
Commanding my attention
Directing me places
I didn’t want to go
My life… a big detour
Stuck in a hot swell
Of stinking exhaust
Plumes falling apart
Black clouds parting
Ushering me in
And swallowing
Me whole

About this poem:
We all know this experience too well.
I will always be me
Seems good to be stoic
Shield yourself from all pain.
But then all the pleasure
is rendered in vain.
We all have the will,
to decide on our own.
Maybe flip a coin
use the pull of the Moon
Our own path we must own,
all the steps that we take.
We can all be so real,
but so many are fake.
Some think themselves simple.
some deep to the core
Not many know themselves,
of this I am quite sure.
Three things make us,
who we turn out to be.
Genetics is one,past is the second,
but where we are completes the record,
Control your situation,
if you think that you can.
Get the most from your life
until your part of the land.
