Please don't give me

a whole cake

only a slice do I need

the hungry should have the largest take
Dr Peter Lim Oct 2021
There were times when I was at odds with myself-
I was cured by taking a long walk in the unknown faraway
countryside, setting myself and all my thinking aside.

Nature in her silence spoke to me---in some
unknown language, yet my soul could translate that into what I
could understand. It was as though I was in a suspended state:
I felt ethereal, light as though my entire being is like a feather
drifting higher and higher to the firmament from the ground I stood
on.
I felt blissful without knowing how or why.
I was momentarily no longer myself.

The moments were brief but I felt a deep sense of liberation,
calmness and tranquillity and came to realise that, out there,
there was a Dimension that was infinitely larger than my little
self and that, if I were to be silent, humble and able to set myself
aside, it would direct me to a Path beyond the pale of this
earthly life.

My self has changed forever henceforth.

People don't know me

    I can be dreadfully lazy

    it's a state that makes me happy

    do I have to be busy?

I know when

to step down

or walk away

I don't need your frown

My own voice

I'll follow

never will be

another's echo

Long-suffering bridge

witness of past centuries

stories unwritten
Dr Peter Lim Oct 2021
Yawn of autumn dawn

gentle light on slender trees

grass sways in breezes
