Don't aim
at the future
what's on hand
is enough treasure
in the beckoning
of every opportunity -
there shouldn't be
any reason for tarrying-
the sun has only
set hours for shining
soon comes its setting-

let your talent
be in best unfurling
let your heart
be fearless in feeling
let not love
be in waiting
reach out
for the lips
that are craving
for kissing-

indeed every moment
is right for praying-

don't look
too far ahead-
the present
is your becoming
the reason for living-

when the last bell
is in chiming
you'd have no regret
but find sublime joy
in your farewelling
Dr Peter Lim Jan 28
Don't ever say:
' I can't help myself...'
  every situation
  you can control
  if you believe in yourself
Dr Peter Lim Jan 28
World history
means nothing
to the common person-
each is only interested
in their own life-story
Dr Peter Lim Jan 28
We can't rush through life:
living requires patience
waiting, grit and endurance
there's much discomfort and strife
Dr Peter Lim Jan 28
I should never say:
Let the day inspire me
rather,   let me inspire the day
Dr Peter Lim Jan 28
The heart has desires
that the mind can never understand
Dr Peter Lim Jan 27
Without stillness
there's no mental clarity
people are over-active
they are shrouded in ambiguity
