I don't have to be the best swimmer
as long as I know how to stay afloat
I fear neither the winter nor summer
faith is my unfailing boat.
Dr Peter Lim Dec 2017
My poem is not ready
meantime, I should read others' poetry.
Dr Peter Lim Dec 2017
There's no reason to hurry
  though the weak rays of day are fading away
  I'm weary but shall walk gently
  home is the heart--it has the final say.

A delicate blade of grass, a tiny reed, a frail leaf, a drooping flower,
a vapour, a dew-drop, a disappearing cloud, a last ray of evening sun,  a fading colour, a feather, a breath, a word, a languishing song, a sad smile, a blink, a shadow, a speck in time, a droplet in life's ocean, tears, solitude, aloneness, namelessness, a soon-to-be nothing--  this is what I am.

I have nothing--all that I can claim as mine is my humility.
Dr Peter Lim Dec 2017
Because I have a purpose,
the furthest distance is of no account to me-

Dr Peter Lim Dec 2017

Dr Peter Lim Dec 2017
The acceptance is the cure
