What I write
might not be read
I won't be put off
nor be hurt

for to write
is to lift me
beyond myself
and to set me free
Dr Peter Lim Dec 2024
They are too sure
       of their ins and outs
       I'm satisfied enough
      to live in my doubts
Dr Peter Lim Dec 2024
I will live by faith
  and not by the dictate of fate
Dr Peter Lim Dec 2024
Something from my inside
prompts me to write
it has nothing to do with pride
nor to prove I were right

myself I would miserably fail
in setting my thoughts and feelings aside
it would be like a bird with clipped wings
unable to lift off for its natural flight
Dr Peter Lim Dec 2024
Live simply
hold all things lightly
receive gratefully
give generously -

speak honestly
act kindly and humbly
pray devotedly
love unequivocally
Dr Peter Lim Dec 2024
I wish
to be simple
not special
the latter
would only
make me artificial -

what best fits me
is the plain and natural
nothing in excess
I need no other call
Dr Peter Lim Dec 2024
Life is erratic
to live well
we've to be adaptive
