TWO SIDEs OF A COIN-

-
Tossed high above in the air with projectile force
Flipping and spinning in the air in rhythmic mode
Uncertainty in the mind of the awaiting and gazing eyes
Plagued with equal plausibility and possibility
Yet the tension is most often than not high
With only either of two possible outcome nigh
Head or tail- true or false-right or wrong.
Without any choice an outcome will be reached.
Attempt otherwise will be some sort of colossal failure
The depths of this thoughts brings pain and gain-
Tonnes of Salt poured to enrich an ocean- futility
Ice wrapped and packaged to be sold to an Eskimo- implausibility
Attempt to convert the pope from Catholicism – audacity
Work and wages molted into a coin-inseparable
The issue isn’t the outcome but in whose favour.
We may not win always but in our loss we grow strong
It may be victory today but defeat isn’t avoided yet.
We rise to the zenith but a slip can make it go away
Like two side of a coin so is victory and defeat on the same path
Like a coin tossed up to have a definite outcome we await
We win some -we loose some yet it doesn’t in itself define us.
Weeping takes the centre stage through the late night show
But joy of victory comes like a blistering bolt in the day time live.
Like two sides of coin we learn it could be head or tail
Pain or gain -win or lose- fear or faith-strength or frail.
As issue in our life are tossed high in the air like a coin
Each of the time, we can only look - gazing up into the horizon
Praying and hoping our favourite side of the coin emerges top.
But if it doesn’t we can not resign to fate and be a flop.
The Four Hebrew boys said-even if our God doesn’t save us we won’t bow.
Like Job, even though He slay me I will yet trust Him, he affirms.
Despite the loss like David we can rise up, wash up and stand up to fight another day.
After all the coin will always have its only two sides any day
But we have time and chance for our many possible wins everyday.

…TIME AND CHANCE HAPPEN TO THEM ALL!

MENDING MIND

Clouds forming off a crux whirl Thoughts come rolling awhile Of my past reminiscing in a matrix With turbulent unending affix From my curly lowly lonely hearts Whispering conscientious arts Reaching into imagination untold Hoping for positive to unfold Of possible plausible joy that could But not sure that's all that would Our humanity in this we see Of our flaws we suffer some fee Our mind travel but its often gaged By many, any and every often tagged Should I rise from all irrespective I only pray for a new perspective

...THEN YOU WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH

-

Growing up like other kids, we like you had different thoughts and many aims and ambitions. We had dreams of many things we would love to turn out to be. Even though we never know how we will get there but one thing we knew was that we want to be what we envisioned ourselves to be. Most times we tilted our ambitions or plan as the days went by and we grew up. But ultimately we wanted to be successful and flawless. We wanted to be as good as it gets and be good enough for all to see. In our minds we flew jets, traveled all over the world, walked on the moon, stood in front of millions to talk, sing or preach, we were signing autographs, became the huge successful singer or the irreplaceable actor, great and convincing  preacher, we owned more than we probably would need for ten generations. We smiled why fans cheered, took a bow when others screamed their lungs out. Camera lights flashing, paparazzi struggling to get a piece of us. Strive to be better and much more good ...

PRESSURE BURST PIPE

In a bid to live a happy life especially that which we dream of, we most often than not put pressure on ourselves and by extension we put pressure on that one person who love us the most, if not those who care about us … partner, friend or family. It is good to have dreams and ambitions. It is also relatively extremely important we pursue them tenaciously but as we do lets always remember the CAUTION Button so that we wouldn’t have to hit the PANIC Button later on. Very Important and Most Crucial, If we forget anything DON’T FORGET THIS! PRESSURE BURST PIPE!
