My dear pillow

You've been a good friend my pillow,

You've known my worries,

Counted my toss and turns,

But tonight, tonight's going to be different.

                

You've been there when the lights go off,

It's easy to find you even in the dark,

You keep still my head when insomnia kicks in. 

      

I’ve punched you times and times again,

You never kept a count,

You stayed,

You've been close,

But tonight, tonight is going to be different.

I'll push you aside my pillow,

I will lay my head,

I will hope to rest and rise to a great day tomorrow.

Tonight, I'll not sleep on you my pillow,

My past is behind me,

I'll cry no more.

I'll push you my pillow to the edge of my bed,

That's how close I came to my end,

I’ll push you to the wall,

It’s been that hard,

Now you know why.

I'll not hold you tight my pillow,

Tonight, I hold me,

Tuck in my blankets and realise how warm they kept me,

I was too lost I missed it.

I'll not cuddle you my pillow,

Tonight I say a prayer,

Tonight is a good night.

I'll not lay me head on you my pillow,

 I'll not worry of things a past and things to come, no …

Tonight, tonight I dream.                       

           

Let all be witness

Awaken harp,

Awaken lyre,

I sought the sun,

The moon at night,

Our love to guard,

I summoned the stars,

The galaxy is overly vast,

My love is vast, equally vast,

Let the clouds gather,

Still Oh wind,

The ocean kiss the horizon,

East and West, keep watch,

North and South, capture every moment,

Let the trees sing to this tune,

I will declare my love,

Let all be witness,

Let the mountains clap,

Let the valleys echo my words,

I will not relent,

Let all be witness,

Of this I will tell tonight,

My love tonight, we love,

Let all be witness.

The place of man in life

The universe is rather vast, too vast I couldn’t tell its ends,

Yet the earth is all we have, this world to conquer and live in,

People to know, people to love, people be ,

For everyone I know, I say thank you,

Your role in my life is known and seen,

The importance of everyone is known to me,

They that love me, even they that didn’t,

Those that motivated and they that pulled me down,

There is a place for every man on earth,

Be it to cause pain, heal or love,

Whatever it be, that it is,

We’ve been hurt, betrayed,

We’ve had to begin again, cry ourselves to sleep,

Hide our pain behind a smile,

Play cool when all was unwell,

Say you’re fine when you weren’t,

Give when you had none,

Life has not always been smooth,

We’ve all had some low moments,

Moments you wished it was better the end to come,

When no one was there,

Days when no song could resonate, you wrote your own,

Moments you had nothing else to loose ,nothing else to give, THE END!

BUT ALAS……

It’s not over!!.. Well,not until it’s over,

There was hope again, strength again,

To begin again!! The end is not yet,

Dream on, the course is right,

It is clear again, my life is life, To be lived,

Through the good, the bad and evil,

To live every day, to dream and to be,

We are here, now, live!

To everyone, love and let love,

Rise when you can, fly when you can,

Rest when you can, no chills,

We have today, to do the best we can, be the best we can,

Appreciate everyone for who they are,

Live and let live,

Live, Love Life!!

I do not give up today

I do not give up today,
Not yet time to give up,
I've got things to do,
I have a people to become,
People to inspire,
And others to annoy,
I've got riches to acquire,
Treasures to find,
Souls to win,
People to mentor,
I do not give up now,
There are youths to mentor,
Prayers to pray,
Songs to write,
Hymes to sing,
A world to conquer,
A life to live,
Great to become,
Honor to earn,
I do not give up now,
Better days to see,
Stories to tell,
Disappointments to overcome,
Tears to cry,
Laughter to share,
Toasts to make,
Meals to share,
So much to be done,
I cannot give up now,
The world is too big,
Life is not all bad,
I have days to live,
A purpose to serve,
A people to become,
A destiny to fulfill,
I do not give up today.

This meaningless race ends now

What course is this I have taken?

What is this my heart has desired? 

O how deceitful can the heart be?

I sought happiness,

That I sought with diligence,

Oblivious of the cost,

Whatever path I had to take I took,

Just so I get to my happiness,

O this heart is deceitful!!

Vanity! Vanity!!

What race is this I run?

I chase the wind,

I race with the wind,

A simpleton, my professor would call me,

True, I am a fool,

They said regard wisdom,

Get understanding even if it costs all your fortune,

Now I know the true meaning of these words,

A fool now finds wisdom,

I will not chase this again,

The wind is far to fast,

The end game? Naught!

I will choose my race again,

I will reconsider the path I take,

May happiness find me,

Even as I seek to do your will,

The will of He who sent me,

End this meaningless race,

Awaken purpose within me,

May I find meaning to my days,

May I sing of your goodness in my days. 

This I want

There is little, there is much,
I am well, I am faint,
I am happy, am not happy,
Tomorrow will be great, today was crazy,
I apologize for that, you can go to hell,
The food was great, that drink was awful,
I finally did it, I wish I could,
Dusty road, nice car,
Let’s start all over again, am tired of this,
I’ve had enough, I can’t get over this,
The sky is clear, crazy chilly today,
I prefer longer, short is better,
The world is big, global village they call it,
I love summer, winter is coming,
So much that one can do, there are no jobs,
I like loud music, books are amazing,
I like this, that is better,
 

*Today you want this, tomorrow you want another. Our preferences change often. Our likes and dislikes are relative. What I say today may not be what I meant, tomorrow. Because man is but a mind changer; changing his mind to suit his interest*

What has befallen us?

The rain will shine,
The sun will fall,
Greatness in small,
Pretty poor,
Rich and sorrowful,
The strong will fall,
The weak will rise,
The clouds will pour,
The dust will rise,
What man will be?
What man shall stand?
The meek will rise,
The haughty be stricken, 
I hope to see the day,
To see the end of the day,
Justice fails,
Injustice wins,
What curse has befallen us?
Free in chains,
Bound in freedom,
Happy in lack,
Sad in plenty,
What curse has befallen us?
Rejoice in evil,
Strain in good,
The day is dark,
The night is brief,
The world is small,
The days are evil,
When will good befall us?
When will justice find us?
The days bring hope,
When will these days come?
