Jig-saw
By: Fergus Carty

When all words fail
And silence is greeted,
Thoughts still pile on the mind.

A touch, a tear stained smile,
Help pin the ignorant façade in place
But even stone is porous and erodes with time.

As life is shattered
And dreams evaporate,
The self crumbles to the floor.

How hard to claw the remnants back,
To turn the pieces blank-side up
And start the jig-saw once again!

Daily Quote: Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat and worry with laughter at your predicaments, thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.
- Og Mandino

The Willed Future
By: Gene Bedley

The logical future gets entangled in a peninsula
of turmoil and discontent;
the willed future builds an island of peace and harmony.

The logical future operates from past principles and perspectives;
the willed future is fueled by possibilities and passion.

The logical future protects your pension, perch, and position;
the willed future protects the person, progress, and principles.

The logical future makes me a product of my circumstances;
the willed future supersedes my circumstances.

The logical future makes excuses for poor performance;
the willed future sees mistakes as one of life’s greatest teachers.

The logical future expresses emotions from the pantry of our heads;
the willed future expresses emotions from the shelves of our heart.

The logical future writes certain people off;
the willed future invites diverse and unique perspectives.

The logical future becomes trapped in the storms of daily surprises;
the willed future anticipates and forecasts future events.

The logical future spends energy and emotions
exclusively on the present;
the willed future invests enormous time and energy on the future.

"Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living."
~Helen Keller

Hope
By: Krantol Northic


Hope is the sweet, sweet scent
of flowers in the morning
Hope is the cool gentle breeze
on a warm summer's day
Hope is the knowledge of stability
from a son in mourning
Hope is the bright shining light
keeping darkness at bay

Hope is the calming warmth
during a cold winter
Hope is the determination
of an athlete on the track
Hope is the potential
of a newborn baby
Hope is the love
between you and me

Hope springs eternal

Krantol Northic
Poems of Krantol Northic



"My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.
~Maya Angelou"
