I'm Human: Poem

I’m Human

Balance comes

From calm awareness

In open and changing spaces.

Balance comes

In certain places.

We cannot choose

The music life plays

But we can choose

To dance to it…my ways.

I am neither

A victim or villain.

I’m simple: I’m human.

Tactical Laughing: Poem

 Tactical Laughing

We are here to laugh

At various odds.

We should live our lives

The way Death will tremble

And afraid to take us.

I am sourly laughing.

Death trembling 

To take me, not sure.

Also, I look after

The strange and odd situations.

When Death trembles,

I always stumble

And dissemble

The odd situations.

I do not mumble.

The only intelligent

Tactical response

To life’s horrors,

To laugh; definitely.

Years and glasses on wine

We do not count.

We are here to laugh.

Inner Strife: Poem

Inner Strife

Sea hath its pearls

High skies hath its stars.

My heart carries my life.

It flights like a kite

Reflecting on human life

Of the inner strife.

It does not look for a fight

To find the inner peace.

This poem here to release

The path of faith.

All the sacred thoughts

Have simple math.

Words like a pocketknife

Leaves the cuts deep in woods.

Bring the light to read the words!

Privat initials carved

Into the trunk.

It reads like a greeting card.

Winter Trees at Night: Poem

 Winter Trees at Night

Winter trees at night

Meet the Moonlight.

Quiet, tall, and naked,

Without leaves but awakened.

No shoes,

Just naked roots.

Nowhere to go.

The Moonlight sees it all.

A liquid, shine Moon

Moves gently, 

Among long branches.

Do they dream of spring tales,

To come very soon,

With dances and romances?

Winter trees at night

Met the Moonlight.

They do not fight.

They are frozen under the bright

Moonlight.

Life: Essay

 Life

Life is what we make of it. Every situation in life is temporary. When life is good, make sure to count your blessings and enjoy and receive them fully.

When life has problems, remember that it will not last forever and better days are on the way. People say we always have problems. We have to enjoy life while still solving them. The joy should not be put on hold until everything is ‘perfect.’

Learning to enjoy life while solving problems is about balance. It’s about acknowledging your struggles, but also allowing yourself moments of peace, joy, and fun along the way. Life isn’t about waiting for all the stars to align – it’s about finding contentment and gratitude in the here and now, even while working through what needs to be fixed. You can make progress and still savor the journey.

Be careful with this idea that ‘everyone is replaceable.’ Some people are one-of-a-kind. If you lose them, life won't hand you another version. You don't meet certain souls twice.

They carry a presence that cannot be duplicated, a light that once gone leaves a space no one else can fill. Treasure those souls while they are still beside you, because once they are gone, the silence they leave behind is louder than words. Some connections are truly once in a lifetime.

The universe weaves certain souls into our lives with threads of such unique brilliance that to speak of replacement is to misunderstand the very nature of connection. These are the luminaries whose light, once shared, forever alters the landscape of our hearts.

They leave an imprint that no other hand can replicate, a melody that, once silenced, leaves an aching resonance in the chambers of our memory. Hold these precious souls close, tend to the gardens of your relationships with them, for their departure leaves a space not merely empty, but sacred – a testament to the irreplaceable beauty of a love that blooms only once in a lifetime. Indeed, some souls, when they pass, change the features of our hearts forever. The light of their presents fills us with warmth, and their departure leaves a void that is irreplaceable. Their memory remains sacred in the heart, like stars in the sky that illuminate our memories even after their absence.

Theoretically: Poem

 Theoretically: Poem

I have a theory

From my memory.

If a stranger says

The things I need to hear,

I listen without any fear.

It is an angel

Who does not know he is able

Create new memories to carry.

Perhaps placed at my path

On purpose.

Such a simple math

For a preface.

I look at my compass.

It always shows the road

To timeless brightness.

Some People: Poem

 

Some People

Some people

Look for a beautiful place.

Other people,

Make the place beautiful.

Some people

Do not need some advice.

They need safety.

They need presence.

They need someone,

Who is not trying to fix them

But is willing to witness them.
