The billionaire and I

The billionaire has 100 million hectares of land
myself I own-- I'll not exchange this ground on which I stand

Dr Peter Lim Aug 2

The inevitable aloneness

Even though you are loved
yet are still inevitably alone:
there are parts of you
that you'll never want any to own

Dr Peter Lim Aug 2

The world of the artist

The most real world of the artist
is that of the imagination
he's at his utmost sublime
in that mysterious region

Dr Peter Lim Aug 2

The past and the present

The past might be relevant
but don't make it your point of reference:
the circumstances now aren't the same
the present is an entirely new game!

Dr Peter Lim Aug 2

In my silence

I'm at my best
in my silence
none there will notice
my presence

while I listen
to their every sentence
as each sinks into my being
I'll be able to discern the nuance

Dr Peter Lim Aug 2

The truth of the matter

I can never say
' that was my best'
I'll be ridiculed
by the rest

as they would regard
it as no better than mediocre
(and they could be right!)
my worth I should never over-measure !

Dr Peter Lim Aug 2

Can you?

Can you smell
the life that you live?
What sort of sense
does it give?
