LOVE

Diminishing Candle

I feel so empty and somewhat defeated;
depressed, by a world gone dark;
as division and hate; become deep-seated;
this life is no walk in the park.

I write thoughts; attempting to be a candle;
shining the bright light of the truth;
but loneliness makes it so difficult

Greatness

Why, to greatness, do so many aspire;
it’s a form of chasing an elusive wind;
what is achieved being rich and retire;
when your being, really has no end?

Greatness is never what you think or do;
nor something on which you’ll depend;
greatness isn’t earned;

Thinking Is Seeing

I’ve always heard, “seeing is believing”
and so, I am prone to think;
perhaps, instead; “thinking is conceiving”
for thoughts appear in a wink.

It may well be, that thought is sight;
all conception occurs in the mind;

The Windfall Profit

Mysteriously a virus suddenly appears;

Till The End Of Time

Tho most don’t know it; time is a king;
the ruler throughout physical nature;
commander and ruler of everything;
others’ titles are mere nomenclature.

Time determines when we awaken;
and when we go to sleep;
it determines when dawn is breaking;
and, how long

The Victims

Hardship has always been a season of life;
no one born can escape its throes;
wisdom outlines all reasons for strife;
necessity demands it’s imposed.

Life cannot be measured by material success;
materiality exists, but a season;
the Master insists we all face duress;
love is the
