Life

Like the twists and turns of a billion atoms
Of a bonsai on a journey of no return;
Like the chorus of a mountain spring
In its relentless surge from within;
Like a dancer flowing with the music
Always in step, not missing a beat,
Till the music fades into the deafening silence that awaits.
Where men do not speak, neither fame nor riches seek.
For the grinders have ceased because they are few,
And the gates to the streets have shut.
And the light has gone out of the windows,
And day and night as indistinguishable as sunrise and sunset.

Break Out!

Exiled on the Isle of Man
Lonely and without a friend
Desperate and homesick
Badly needing a break.


Resentment fills up
Anger pushes at the seams
Fear closes in
No one to turn to
No way out.
Got to break free!
BREAK OUT!

Trust In God

Trust in God
For He is good
And He cares for you.
 
His sweetness will follow you
His peace will keep you
His joy will overflow you.
 
You will walk with a lightness in your step.
You will sing because you are glad
You will love because you are loved

Humpty Dumpty

Why did Humpty Dumpty sit on the wall?
Was it because he was too short?
Or did he harbour some suicidal thoughts?
Did he fall because he was stupid?
Or because his head was too big?







Now, now, Humpty Dumpty's not to be trifled with.
He ain't the companion of eggs you eat for breakfast, to begin with.
He's the doughty defender on the church tower
Blasting away day and night without fear!
Then came that fateful day much to Humpty's dismay
When the enemy struck and ripped the tower apart.
Down came Humpty crashing to the ground.

And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Could not put Humpty together again.

Reason To Sing

Do you have a song?
Might there be a reason to sing it?
Is there a spring in your step
Or does it drag?
Does the sun shine above you
or clouds gather in the horizon?

I have a song on my lips
and that's reason enough to sing.
How great and wonderful it will be
if by it's soothing medody
it will bring some cheer to the weary.
Though clouds may gather in the horizon
they are there but for only a season.

For whatever comes, my friend,
does not come to stay!
Whatever comes,
comes only to pass!

A Cup Of Blessings

A little wish
A dream come true.
A cup of blessings
From me to you.
To put a smile on your face
To brighten up your day.

Brief Encounter Of The Major Confusion


Hi!
How are you?
Have we met before?
You look strangely familiar.
What?
I beg your pardon!
You mean you're....ME?
And I'm....YOU?
Hi!
Hello again.
Hello myself!
Caught in a tangled web,
an awful web of brain network.
Can't get out!
I'm.....TRAPPED
.......in myself!

Fly Away, Pretty Swallow, Fly Away

Fly away, pretty swallow, fly away.                               
Do not linger and do not stay.
To the warmer south you go
and to green pastures
before winter comes and you are caught
in the dreadful claws of a cold snap
from which you cannot escape!
Remember the lessons learnt from the past
for they stand you in good stead.
Then you will live life with few regrets.

Panda Lu Lu



Once a panda named Lu Lu
Ate a lot of crunchy bamboo
Till he was big as a balloon
His mum didn't know what to do!

I Used To Live In Wonderland


I used to live in Wonderland                                                   
Where Rabbit was my friend
And little else made sense.
For the sentence came before the verdict
And it mattered not where each road led.
Then Tortoise fell very sick and there was a great need!
But help could not be found in all of the land.
Thus Tortoise left for another world before I could release it to the river.
So I packed my bags and left Wonderland.

Teenie, twinee, teen, tin


                                             Teenie, twinee, teen, tin.                                             
Where have you been?
Down at the bottom of the bin
Where I've been since I was dropped in!
What find you there?
Or is it all dark and bare?
Nay, my friend.
There's aplenty to see, more than you can imagine.
But trash and scum I did not find
Only such that will make you cry.
