holiday spirit
winter in the sky
seasonal festivities
christmas in july
vego feast making
knife very sharp
tiny cookies baking
let’s live the carp
snowflakes falling
on green grass
roos hop around
lake turned into glass
local markets
full of food
chopping boards
made out of wood
beanies and gloves
crochet socks
everyone loves
presents box
small or large
nobody cares
without charge
who compares
Poem ‘July Down Under’ read by the author.
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
Poem ‘Random Truths’ read by the author.
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
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
