Thoughtful by John/Poem/Wisdom/Philosophical/Whimsy/Self-Awareness


This poem captures a moment in life, where sounds, images, senses come together to capture a unique moment in time. On reflection, each moment is unique, for they each have their own individual energy.


Thoughtful
Dark clouds in the sky
gracing the winds on high,
as the sun sinks down
over this peaceful town.
It's Sunday again and the TV's loud and boring,
it sounds just like a motorbike roaring.
The kids are out, playing in the street,
young people, agile, graceful, and fleet.
The circle of life turns, school, work, life, old age
hopefully we’ll gain wisdom and be like a sage!
Onwards we go, never seeing clearly
the mistakes we make sometimes costing us dearly
But on we go as we always must
with a smile, faith, hope, and trust.
When life feels tough and we are at temper’s length,
we dig deep and find love truly is our strength.
John

I have two self-help stories available exclusively on
 Amazon, either on the Kindle or paperback, and I do
 hope that you find them interesting, thought-
provoking, and, most of all, enjoyable: -
 
This simply written short story is aimed at those who
 seek to understand themselves, and through
 understanding themselves comes a greater
 understanding of life. 
 
(as witnessed by his brother)
Much has been written about Jesus, and no matter your
 view on religion or Christianity, this person, whether he
 was as described in the bible or not, has singularly
 shaped, to a greater or lesser extent, the lives we lead
 today through his wisdom. There are many versions of
 the story, but there is only one truth, and is it not
 better to know the truth?

Be Creative


 

Be Creative

 

My creative juices are running pure and clear,

and I really feel like giving myself a cheer!

My talent is true I now know and feel,

as I make my original ideas so very real!

Awakening The Artist Within


 

Awakening The Artist Within

 

We each have the spark,

of the Artist’s creative knack,

for words, music, art, dance and much more,

from our sometimes-forgotten internal store.

Awaken now the joyful Artist within your soul,

Let’s get it going, let’s rock and roll!

Overcoming Adversity


 

Adversity

 

My spirit feels battered and bruised,

and sometimes angry, used and abused.

Adversity has made itself known,

and seeds of uncertainty are now sown.

But I know and accept what needs to be done,

and I will do so now; I will not run!

Gratitude


 

Gratitude

 

Stormy Seas are behind me.

Landfall is in front of me.

With my feet on firm ground,

I will embrace my future,

with joy in my heart.
