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

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Silent Time’

silence wrapped around
encapsulating thoughts
providing space and time
to respond to observe

no need to react now
the right time appears
after an interval
allowing a fresh approach

more space on the mind
quietened internal chatter
peace spreads its wings
relaxing ambience prevails

enchanting and might
silent breath meditation
minutes merge into hours
time vanishes in a vacuum

beatific calm

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Oil’

one thing is clear
year after year
media thriving on fear

people living in the sticks
falling for magic tricks
terror sells the flicks

life a fragile dream
whatever the regime
war measure extreme

glued onto the screen
without a machine
our brain washed clean

after a stint in drama
call upon our mama
to take off our pajama

now totally nude
let’s not be prude
no oil we are screwed

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Hopeful Still’

oftentimes they teach us to be great
oftentimes we seek out closure
oftentimes it comes with disclosure
oftentimes we reach out too late

never mind the steps needed
never mind the mental chatters
never mind our attitude matters
never mind we all get superseded

usually love is the path
usually the smell of success
usually that leads to stress
usually we don’t do the math

seldom there is an easy way
seldom we know ourselves well
seldom our story will tell
seldom ‘to err is human’ saves the day
