I had a lovely dream last night,  
You came to me and called my name,  
But when I awoke this morning,  
Everything was sadly the same.  
So I shall pass today in haste,  
Waiting for night to quickly fall,  
And hope that I will dream again,  
And my name I will hear you call.
lost soul screams into the night
filled with silent fear and ghoulish fright
waiting for a miracle for it to save
from descent to a gruesome grave
fear
Humility and gentleness
Are often mistaken for weakness
Selfish and ignorant minds
Just cannot understand tenderness
Life is full of empty words
You meet them everyday
Real sentiments are often missing
Despite what their owners say;

Condolences and compliments
Are often voiced with falseness
Just made to follow the norm
Of courtesy and correctness;

Better to prefer the silence
Of genuine heart-felt feelings
Than empty words of shallowness
Forgotten after a few meetings

It’s so simple to live happily,
To enjoy life, avoid misery,
Just follow the simple ways of life,
With understanding and empathy.
It’s not really very difficult,
Just leave your egoism behind.
too simple??

Appearances in places of worship,
When thoughts and behavior differ in mind,
Recital of prayers are meaningless,
The deaf will easily befriend the blind.

We are stuck on this planet,
Thanks to a giant magnet,
Like pins in a voodoo doll,
So none of us can fall.

Should the gravity pull be lost,
We will face the maximum cost,
We will be unstuck and float away,
Like floatsam in less than a day.

In every direction towards endless space,
And disappear forever without a trace.
Fun poem :-)
