If life has anything to say to you,
all that you need to hear is:
' I respect you!'
Nil
Dr Peter Lim Nov 2017
Life does not appear
to entertain anyone
it has millions of tasks
that have to be done.
Dr Peter Lim Nov 2017
I don't need
any nod from life
I am my own person
either in peace or strife--

how we come to meet
is a product of fate
we don't have to report
to each other--- or mutually ingratiate.
Dr Peter Lim Nov 2017
Meeting life half-way
neither  too far nor too near
there's enough room to manoeuvre
I live without fear--

my mind neutral I keep
it will bounce the moment to fit
with life I need not be at odds
in calm and storm I never lose my wit.
Dr Peter Lim Nov 2017
Verily life is malaise
such view is ubiquitous
a mountain of ruined hopes
too many moments tempestuous-

where's the peace and joy?
the common theme is worry and misery
yesterday was travail, today is angst
what good would come from the next day to be?
Dr Peter Lim Nov 2017
We need life
but
it has never needed us--
right from the start.
Dr Peter Lim Nov 2017
I am still living
life has not given up on me
