Write your thoughts and ideas, your feelings and experiences. Take time to relax and to meditate. In a year's time you will have a Collection of Everyday Verses.
Here are some verses I wish to share all followers, well-wishers, commentators and inquirers of this blog.
My home, home from the plain -
Battle in work and wandering,
But a family to stand by, sharing
Joy and neither fear nor pain.
Kindness without honesty -
Sentimentality;
Honesty without kindness -
Cruelty;
Peace the duo could harness -
Humanity.
Wall invisible to another,
Behind we refuse to be seen
Of what we are and what we've been -
Let us break it my brother.
Denial to anger is its beginning,
Truth hidden when not needed
May breed lies unheeded;
And wrong a mob embraces
Like a basket full of roses.
To change our ways, hold your peace;
In his dungeon Gandhi prayed at ease;
Bowed on a loom he wove the cloth,
Cloth for the naked, the flag - and both.

A vessel holds water to its brim,
Unless bears a crack at its rim;
As men wish power in their dream
Even if they have lost steam.
A singular aspect we mustn't overlook;
Man from other creatures by having a soul
We call conscious intelligence in the book,
Everything not enough, even the sum of all.
Feelings we may fall short;
Repressed and the water burst,
Rising into waves or froth
Unless our anger dies first.

Feelings we may fall short;
Repressed and the water burst,
Rising into waves or froth
Unless our anger dies first.
If anger is provoked or prolonged
Into depression lost from bargaining -
Not enough, acceptance the saddest song.
Truth we seek, its bulk under;
Iceberg its tip isn't the danger;
Mum we are, inside is anger;
Silence sets us all asunder.
Spear, arrow and bow,
Machines before the plow;
A hunter's life he'd cease
To found a land of peace.

Gentle is life yourself you make,
Gentler it is you make for Him,
While life rushes down the stream,
Gentlest still for the young ones' sake. ~
