"Greatness Is Just A Beacon"
Greatness doesn't strive to take the stage,
Or force its will, or turn the page.
It waits, serene, with humble heart,
Until the call, the need to start.
It's summoned forth by circumstance grand,
To answer, serve, and lend a hand.
No competition, no boastful claim,
Just quiet strength, and noble aim.
Outcomes unfold, like ripened fruit,
As greatness delivers, sans pursuit.
No strivin...

Whom To Make Proud
Only two hearts to impress,
Two versions of self, past and future's dress.
The 8-year-old you, wild and free,
Eyes shining bright, full of glee.
Dreams unfolding like a canvas wide,
Believe in yourself, let curiosity glide.
The 80-year-old you, wise and gray,
Reflecting on life's journey, day by day.
Experience etched on every line,
A legacy lived, a story divine.
No need to please...

"From Hands-On to Hands-Off"
In yesterday's garage, hands crafted with care,
Tinkering with valves, like conductors leading orchestras there.
But now, the manual sounds a warning bell,
"Beware, don't sip the battery's poisonous well!"
Progress brings caution, safety's guiding light,
Trading DIY spark for warning signs in flight.
We're smarter, more aware of hidden snares,
Yet lost some innovation's fiery flares.

"The Human Hindrance"
Oh, great leap forward, into self-awareness hell,
Where egos swell and sanity fell.
We crowned ourselves gods, with delusional might,
And forgot we're just apes in designer sight.
Our "intelligence" brought pollution, wars, and stress,
Progress, indeed! What a mess!
Let's celebrate our "evolutionary" blunder,
And laugh at our species' self-absorbed thunder!

The Prison
In cells of self-doubt, we're confined,
By thoughts of others, forever aligned.
Their judgments, our jailer's stern decree,
A prison of perception, we can't break free.
Actions that drain, inactions that stall,
Net worth stagnant, our potential's fall.
We chase others' views, a never-end game,
And happiness flees, with no one to claim.
Advice from skeptics, a toxic guide,
"Play it saf...

Finding Your Way
Toil and grind, a promise unkept,
Hard work alone, dreams still asleep.
Find your path, know your aim,
Reach within, claim your promised gain.
Grinding hard, yet dreams delayed,
Find your route, seize the day.
Reach within, unlock your fate,
Claim the life you promised to create.

Duality In Elements
Water cries, cleansing soul's deepest scar,
Flowing free, heart and mind regain afar.
Water overflows, drowning final plea,
Drowning in chaos, heart and mind in agony.
Fire burns away life's weight, adapting to rise,
Igniting passions that once faded in wise eyes.
Fire rages out, consuming all in view,
Burning bridges, passions reduced to ashes anew.
Air observes, breathing focus, calm...

Mixed Up Companionship
In labyrinthine realms of heaven's decision,
Companionship strays, lost in a divine haze.
Mystery bonds arrive, sans clear vision,
Leaving souls perplexed, in bewildered daze.
At destined doors, incorrect companionship resides,
Confusion reigns, with puzzlement's dark tide.
Errant connections dance, in chaotic stride,
Prompting queries: "Is this some cosmic design?"
Yet still we seek, ...

"Mindful Exchange"
The topmost tier, where intellects roam,
Exchange ideas, learn, teach, and call home.
A sanctuary of curious minds,
Where knowledge and wisdom intertwine.
The middle tier, a stage of fleeting thought,
Where events and TV dramas are brought.
A realm of surface-level delight,
Where shallow conversations take flight.
The lowest tier, a quagmire of the mind,
Where gossip spreads, and rumo...

"The Silent Awakening"
Beyond the shrouded veil of thought, where darkness dissolves
Lies a realm of timeless truth, where the heart's essence evolves
The mind's shackles shatter, and the soul erupts in radiant light
Into the abyss of the unknown, where destiny beckons through the night
Freedom's whispered oath, an ethereal hymn of liberation
Echoes through the void, and soothes the heart's deepest desperation

Beyond The Branches
Birds trust wings, not branches weak,
Self-reliance soars, their spirit unique.
Yet, rising high comes with a fee,
Only the brave can reach destiny.
Wealth and love, elusive and rare,
Friendship's scarce, or so we're aware.
Dreams are free, but time's easily lost,
Humanity's skill, in procrastination's cost.
Still, spread your wings, and take the leap,
Self-reliance guides, in darknes...
