A Poem on Loneliness



CHANCE MEETINGS



by: Conrad Aiken (1889-1973)


In the mazes of loitering people, the watchful and furtive,

The shadows of tree-trunks and shadows of leaves,

In the drowse of the sunlight, among the low voices,

I suddenly face you,

Vagrant Story



The body is but a vessel for the soul,

a puppet which bends to the soul's tyranny.

And lo, the body is not eternal,

for it must feed on the flesh of others,

lest it return to the dust from whence it came.

Therefore must the soul deceive, despise and murder men.


Quoted from A.J. Durai at the game Vagrant Story

Cloths of Heaven




Cloths of Heaven


  
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

Of night and light and the half-light,


I would spread the cloths under your feet:

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.


[quoted from here]

Serenity Prayer



The Serenity Prayer  



by Reinhold Niebuhr
 
God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.

Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.

A Motivational Poem


Playing The Game


By Author Unknown


Life is a game with a glorious prize,
If we can only play it right.
It is give and take, build and break,
And often it ends in a fight;
But he surely wins who honestly tries
(Regardless of wealth or fame),

The Optimist Creed


Promises to Yourself


By Christian D. Larsen


Promise yourself….
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind;

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet;

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them;

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true;

To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best;

Pessimistic


Live your life to it's fullest.
But how great is this life
when you measure it
by the dents and scars
by unclaimed love and broken hearts.
how quickly filled this life gets with
shattered dreams and misplaced things.
how busy we keep,
