ME
Sitting deeply within my emotions
I wonder what exists
Beyond the ME
That I know
Is there more to life
Than that which we can see
Is there life beyond our existence
In this netherworld
Of chaos
I wonder
Shamai Jun 2022
I walk a path
That others
Have walked before
It makes no sense
To tread on land
That doesn’t
Create change
And my life is worthy
Of
Touching others
I am
Therefore
Others can be

I wait
Wondering what it is
That I am
Waiting for
My life has always been
A wait
And I wonder
What
It is
That
I’m waiting
For

Rain
Falling from the sky
Pitter pattering
On the soaked ground
Reminding us
That fulfillment
Always follows emptiness
And caring
Always follows pain

Today is a day
Like any other
Only
I have arrived
A little wiser
And a lot more humble
Life has taught me
That I know very little
And
The more I learn
The more I know
I don’t know
So I will humbly
Take a step forward
On the road
To learning
And
I will be more aware
Of all
That is meant for me
In this
Lifetime
I will keep
My
Eyes and ears open
I will move consciously
On the Earth
I will speak humbly
And know
When it’s time
To be still
And
When it’s best
To be
Silent

Looking at
The canvas I wonder
What will come
From the inner recesses of my mind
And how the paint will meld
In a formation of continuing
Freedom of thought
I ponder and hesitate
Before making the first overture
Of a new beginning
For every canvas
Expresses who I am
And what I have lived
And where I want to go
In my life
And I reach forward
Brush in hand
Paint at the tip
Ready to begin anew

Sky above and sand beneath
God’s gift to us he did bequeath
The beauty of bounty is quite unique
It makes us humble it makes us meek
We honour all that we can see
This lovely Earth on which to be
So look around take in the all
See all you can of blue green sprawl
And then look deeper to who you are
In life you must become a star
And be the best of who you can
And dance with joy in God’s true plan
For only in love can you really know
Life’s truth secrets from which to grow
Inside you lives a piece of God
A part that you should sure applaud
As human we are bound to life
As soul we move beyond wildlife
We become as our maker with purity
And we become a spirit free
