MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Reminder’

as the saying goes
‘energy flows
where attention goes’
in life it shows

focus on failure
brings more of the same
change in behavior
uplifts the game

like a beam of laser
attention follows the lead
fear cuts like a razor
love brings all we need

to live the life we desire
clear vision we need to build
one that will take us higher
where we would feel fulfilled

our future is a present
gifted to us each dawn
let’s make it yet more pleasant
too soon we will be gone

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Anxiety Fix’

joy and calm blankets over me
watching the kangaroos in the garden
chewing on freshly grown grass
the rain certainly helped

the sun is up and its rays warm the air
breeze plays with tree branches
it’s nearing the end of summer
the finish of the mango season

there is much to be grateful for
nature generously offers its gifts
the wildlife is enjoying them
graciously and freely

nothing missing – all is provided
for survival of all species
but humans
still fret
unnecessarily

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Rainy Rhyme’

softly falling rain
removes the chain
of emotional pain
make it our goal main
to become fit again

heavy lifting like a crane
could feel insane
forsake words profane
if body weight you gain
oxygen flows in a vein

is it safe to explain
what does soda contain
artificial sweeteners refrain
the taste of a new domain
drink fresh sugar cane
get rid of the wine stain

stop to vilify grain
its effects ascertain
body fuel regain
learn to entertain
in the fast lane
like a bullet train

with no champagne
if we are to be sane
it may sound mundane
food is to sustain
not energy drain
extra pounds do retain
diets to disdain

it’s a deeper terrain
stop to complain
no longer restrain
preaching was in vain
eating is not humane

abstain

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Empty Vessel’

empty vessel
containing no thing
no thought no memories
vast new landscape

blank canvas
smell of freshness
newly stretched
onto the frame

the lived dream
of meditators
the perception of
newborns
