MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Random Truths’

Leave a comment

pull out the skis
in this scorching heat
that’s really just a tease

food that agrees
with vego lifestyle
is likely not Chinese

a ship on an open seas
people getting sea sick
by a little bit of breeze

when one has an expertise
in whichever profession
they can ask for higher fees

selection of green teas
drank around the world
loved by the Japanese

we need mature trees
oxygen from our air
plus pollinator bees

secrets locked without keys
passed down by devotees
universal truths like these

i still eat butter and cheese
until i deserve it fully
don’t call me vegan please

carpe diem
it’s not too late
the day let’s seize

MIDNIGHT POETRY ‘Extraordinary Read’

Leave a comment

Don Miguel Ruiz’s
The Four Agreements
influenced me immensely
a publication
transcending time

from the teaching
and wisdom of Toltecs
tradition passed down
through generations
of their shamans

openly uncovering
the secret of life
how to live a happy
content life
being the best
version of oneself

the first of the
four agreements
‘Be impeccable
with your word‘

simple yet powerful
refers to our choice
of words we speak
and how to say them
using them for good

the second of the
agreements
‘Don’t take anything
personally‘
be immune to
words and deeds
of others

what they say and do
is not about you
but about themselves
their own story

third agreement
‘Don’t make assumptions‘
communicate with clarity
and ask if you don’t know

the last one of the four
‘Always do your best‘
to avoid regret
always do your
utmost

the above agreements
have an ongoing
significant impact
on my life

if you are intrigued
go find the book
i highly recommend it

let’s make each other
accountable

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Overweight’

Leave a comment

an update!
what we ate
could relate
to our fate

there has been a debate
that what is on the plate
illness can create

how could one translate
kind words of a mate
saying we carry extra weight

our appetite does dilate
we start to eat at eight
stop when it’s too late

exercise we sure hate
to wiggle like a fat bait
then meet the same fate

yet! it is not in us innate

I willfully state
it is not too late
new habits to dictate

the promise is great
to change our fate
we cannot wait

for a better date
or be too overweight
to fit the heavens gate

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘The Pyramid’

Leave a comment

Maslow built a pyramid
motivation in a model
human needs placed
on different steps

bodily needs at the bottom
safety on the first step
belonging and love on the next
accomplishment above that

self actualization in the tip
to achieve one’s full potential
through creative activities
to be the best one can be

to live a life of high morals
spontaneously with meaning
fulfilling our inner potential
is the highest of our needs

when we are not there yet
it simply means our other needs
have not been met yet

the thing to consider
how our mental state
affects our physical reality

unless we are seeing ourselves
as already achieving our dream
including the detailed picture

our body-mind doesn’t know
what place to take us to
and we are still elsewhere

create a better mental imagery
life will improve accordingly
