Don't allow your life to be as a fallen leaf blown about by the wind;
without any objective or goal we are lost and life seems to rescind.
When the light of inspiration in the mind is dim and appears to fade
that's the time to rekindle it by aligning ourselves with Higher Aid.

I am generally poised like the deep and steady ocean calm;
but with whatever happens on the surface I do have a qualm.
There are many ripples and waves that arise and subside
but they are really all signs that there’s life down inside.

I encompass all the land that rises from my surface;
which at times becomes much like a blazing furnace
and provide moisture to the clouds and atmosphere above
which in turn send it back down in grateful tears of love.

The storms of nature often pick me up to cause a disturbance
which may have something to do with my own protuberance;
but these are really the reactions to all the inhabitants on the land
who with their ignorance are plundering everything by their hand.

Once in a while I have to shrug my shoulders and shift mantle
which causes an earthquake on the land and a major upheaval;
as I have no one who can scratch my back or understand my need
because I’m plagued by parasites that are very troublesome indeed.

I don’t intentionally mean to do anybody any harm
but have to follow my instincts and sound the alarm;
in such a way that will get the message across
regardless of any relative notions of gain or loss.

Too much of a good thing can actually turn out to be bad
and all that makes us happy now may later make us sad.

It’s very often said that ‘laughter is the best medicine’,
but to get well one has to undergo a kind of discipline.

What science knows today is likely to be laughed at tomorrow
as mankind uses science like religion to eliminate all its sorrow.
The association of science and religion now then is evident more than ever before
as we realize they can compliment each other and lead us towards a better shore.

Life may be a joke for some and to others be a source of confusion;
its present problems are often tackled without the right conclusion.
The world is thus full of mysteries that have been left unresolved
and humanity being the main one creates more as it gets involved.

One day I found some treasure in a ******* heap
that I thought could be a thing worthwhile to keep.
Although at first it didn’t seem to be much at all
because of the simple fact that it was quite small.

The more I looked at it the less likely it became
something by which anyone could thereby gain.
It was so covered in dirt that it was hard to discern
just exactly what it was without handling to learn.

Not wishing to disappoint myself or let curiosity go
I picked the object up with a determination to know.
And after wiping the dirt off from it I could then see,
just what the thing was which completely amazed me.

The thought crossed my mind as to why it had been thrown away
along with all the rest of the garbage that was strewn around to lay.
I had a strong suspicion that it may have been discarded by mistake
which sometimes does also happen when people are not fully awake.

Or perhaps when people get so sick and tired of the same old things
by an act of desperation they try to get rid of whatever in life stings;
throwing away certain possessions which over the years have acquired
becoming such burdens in their life to the point of making them tired.

Another perspective is that it may have served its purpose up to that time
and the person possessing it had no further use for it regarding it as grime.
One too many things in a person’s life can really get to be too much to bear
and the situation becomes unhealthy for them to continue in that way there.

Whatever the case may have been for it to have ended up here
was now to my advantage which brought me some good cheer.
Something invaluable once deemed lost but since then found again
is what so many people hope for to progress and confidence attain.
