Month: May 2023

A daily habit:
Indulge in meditation
If only briefly.

Gratefully enjoy 
Every step of the journey
For its uniqueness

Hide not your talents;
A sundial in the shade
Is of little use.

Your thoughts and feelings
Tint your life with their colours;
Choose a calming scheme.

Solitary gull
Perches on the breakwater,
Calmly observing.

Think before you do;
Actions have consequences
Which can’t be undone.

Make the change today
Don’t wait for a better time;
There may not be one.

Steady in the storm,
The rock that the waves crash over;
Still there in the calm.

Ignore others' faults,
They are outside of your scope;
Focus on your own.

The winds of change blow,
Never failing in their task;
Constant renewal.

Gulls glide overhead,
The wind carries their shrill calls
With the salty spray.

Voices of the past,
Long gone but not forgotten;
Your whispers echo.

Keep the mind busy,
Plenty you haven’t learnt yet.
Never stop learning.

Strong winds blow heavy waves,
Roughly dragging shingle beach;
No swimming today.

Sunrise creeps through blinds,
Cold noses pressing my face:
“Time for a walk, Dad”
