The earth is love but
she has grown weary in her
tireless track through the
heavens
Ever spinning
Her morning face toward
the sun
Her evening contenance
turned toward the moon
Through endless night she
is hurled toward a banquet
of unreachable stars
She carries on her back a
restless humanity
A humanity who is dying for
lack of meaning and clear
destination
Turn on great one, turn on
For the spirit of life will
someday release you from an
inevitable decay
The children you've nurtured
will soon sleep in your dust
And you shall wake to a new
dawn where your precious leaves
of Autumn shall never wither~

Let me take you on a magical journey.
Hold my hand, feel safe and secure,
I will be by your side through anything you endure,
For we are one, both you and I,
I will wipe your tears if ever you cry,
I wish to show you just how beautiful you are,
Just like the essence of a morning star,
Cover your eyes and walk with me,
For now your saviour, you will see,
Trust in me, let me show you your wealth,
Remove your hands within the mirror is yourself.
You are the light that guides your way,
You are your vehicle that drives you each day,
You are the one who closes their eyes at night,
You are the one who knows what wrong or right,
You are the one who controls what you do,
So your Saviour my friend has always been YOU.

You’ll never be lonely, deep in heart, in your dreams,
If it were for me, if you only let me.
For dreams – they just vanish and time – it goes on,
And you - still alone and you think that it's all,
While heart keeps on beating in search for its joy!
You’ll never be lonely if you followed my words,
If it were for me, if you never let go.
It takes little magic to make dreams come true,
Maybe instant or two, maybe longer, but sure,
While heart keeps on beating in search for its cure!
You’ll never be lonely – this chance don’t you miss!
If you asked my advice, if you only let me,
If you followed your star, tracked its course up above,
Then in heavens you’ll see that it’s real, not lie,
While heart keeps on beating in search for true love!

About this poem:
Loneliness is not fatal and can be cured as any other disease, which is not terminal. Perhaps we should do something about it, make a move ... to fan that fire or it will never catch, let alone keep burning steadily. Wish you luck in your love!

Still surviving
Standing up straight
Not bent up yet nor shuffling gait
still life's hills to climb
But green valleys to rest
As we age
Life may not be at its best,
Signs of wrinkles crease the brow
But does it stop us from smiling
No! not now
We still crack up with laughter
at some funny joke,
Aches and stiff joints part of ageing
Fate has promised no one
A bed of roses
The twinkle in our eyes is not totally dimmed
But we will go on till our sun is down

For May that comes to us in year only once,
For faded dawn and slush of rainy day,
Place blame on anyone for messing up your life,
But never point at me, to you I pray.
All this world is not our invention,
No, it's not invention of mine.
All this world is not our invention,
No, it's not invention of mine.
The daily run of time is not contrivance mine,
It's bringing either joy or sorrow to us.
The world is so devised it happens all the time,
With not so much as hope to make things right.
All this world is not our invention,
No, it's not invention of mine.
All this world is not our invention,
No, it's not invention of mine.
The only thing that helps to deal with such a blight,
The only way there is in flicker of days.
It may be hard for us to scatter clouds in sky,
But our love may grow with each passing day.
All this world is not our invention,
No, it's not invention of mine.
All this world is not our invention,
No, it's not invention of mine.

THEY’VE JOURNEYED ALL ACROSS THIS LAND
THEY’RE THE FUTURE OF OUR PRIDE,
FOR MANY LONG YEARS THEY’VE DONE THE WORK
SOME HAVE BROKEN AND SOME HAVE CRIED,
THE PATH THAT THEY’VE TRAVELLED DOWN
IS NOW NEARING THE END,
AND TO ALL THE OTHER COMPETING NATIONS
I’VE A MESSAGE I’D LIKE TO SEND.
YOU CAN COME BACK ANYTIME
AS A TOURIST OR A GUIDE,
YOU CAN SHOW AND TELL THE PAINFULL
SPOT WHERE YOUR DREAMS WERE DENIED,
YOU CAN TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT
THE GREATEST GAMES YOU’VE EVER SEEN,
AND HOW YOU WERE DEFEATED
BY THE MIGHTY GOLD AND GREEN.
THE GREATEST ATHLETES I’VE EVER HEARD OF
HAVE NEVER LEFT OUR SHORE,
AND EVERY TIME I PICK UP A PAPER
I READ THAT NOW THERE’S MORE,
AUSTRALIA BREED’S THE FINEST
AND ONLY THE FINEST WILL EVER DO,
WITH THE POWER OF A CROCODILE
AND THE SPEED OF A KANGAROO.

BE NOT OF THE STRENGTH TO WHICH YOU ARE NOT,
BUT BUILD ON THE STRENGTH TO WHAT YOU HAVE GOT,
TAKE NOT AN ANSWER FOR A QUESTION NOT ASKED,
FOR MOST OF THOSE ARE USUALLY MASKED,
BE OF ONE TRUE SPIRIT TO YOUR ONE TRUE SELF,
BE NOT THAT OF A PRODUCT ACQUIRED OFF A SHELF,
SEEK ANSWERS OF YOUR OWN ONLY THEN WILL IT BE TRUE,
THAT IN ONE OF THE ANSWERS YOU SHALL FIND THE TRUE YOU.

About this poem:
I always tell people to look before they leap. Look within themselves, find their true selves and ask, is this what you really want.

What has to be done must be done
Lazing around just will not pay
Grab hold of yourself and move on
Do what you have to do today
Despite the mood you may be in
Know time and tide wait for no one
Get busy, start the ball rolling
If not, you will be overrun
Hold on and sustain the effort
Though you may not feel to do so
Stand firmly for no matter what
Be assured success will follow

Some might call it a
lonely christmas sittin'
here in the dark..
But my lil' tree is all
I need to warm my weary
heart..
I guess family could be
here but it wasen't meant
to be..
So I'll gaze at this lovely
glow from my lil' christmas
tree..

A blackbird taps out
A morning reveille on
My window beckoning
Me to watch the
Conquest
Once he had me
At attention
He darts off to join
The ranks of a
Thousand black dots
Lining the wires in
Military formation
A command.. then
The hum of wings
Fill the sky
An army of aerial
Warriors decend upon
A field ripe for
Harvest
The spoils of victory
Were many and I
Saluted the valiant
Effort
A solitary solidier
Swooped down to
My window and
Proudly displayed his
Golden nugget
He had captured
Kernel Corn!
