Throw away the thoughts that make
You sad, they will not exist if you leave
them behind, don't think of things
That will stop the light from shining
brighter.

Imagine how long it takes to hollow out a
log to make a vase out of bamboo shoots
in a corner of a dark cold room, surely
not worth the effort of making something
looking beautiful from the heart, but
The beauty of the effort is worth the beauty
that appears within.

Food for thought is food for the imagination
creator of majestic impossibilities possible
little bits of light to shine up a lonely spot
hiding away in your heart.

In case you stumble down the cliff of
memories you should have dismissed
many years back, now leave those
memories, the cliff is being worn down
by the waters of time.

It will now be perfect to give everything
and every one an honorable discharge
on command.

(Move on!)
Let's always be a winner!
