Clueless

Wonder where I’m going

No path clearly seen

Thick fog along the way

Can’t view the gravelly road ahead



Walking the path less taken

Stumbling along the wilderness

Knowing not where this may lead

The chill wintry wind biting into me



I rub my hands together

My breath spewing clouds of mist

Quickening my pace, unsure

Of what really lies ahead



Somewhere the path may reveal a turn

That will lead me on to freedom

To a land where I belong

With singing heart, I keep walking.

Dreams come true!!!

Dreams come true



When you dream enough

And believe in your dreams



Dreams come true



When you wake up

And wish fervently that it must



Dreams come true



Just when you are about to give up

And give in to harsh reality



Dreams come true



When you know it will

And scorn every iota of doubt



Dreams come true



In its own time

When you least expect it



Dreams come true



Catching you unawares

Leaving you at a loss for words



Dreams come true



Making you believe

Reaffirming your faith

A Poem by MVJ Simon (Copyright 2007)

Alone, not lonely

Calm, serene, greenish water.
Clear, cool and deep

Ripples gentle floating away
In perfect rhythm and beat

Chill, misty mountain breeze
Ruffling your hair

The reeds of wet bamboo
Entwined, bound together

Forms the boat on which I lie
On my back gazing up

Floating gently, rocked to sleep
Drowsy in the lap of that wonderful lake

Time loses it's vice-like grip
Nature takes over and I'm drunk

Sweet stupor and daze-like dreams
Take over as I give in and sleep

Stand firm

When the battle rages within

between ethics and greed

Don't ever give in

And give up what you value most


Stand firm


When you feel so down

About the way you are treated

Unfair and unjust

Don't give up, just bide your time


Stand firm


When life sucks the best out of you

And you get nothing in return

Don't reciprocate the same way

Just keep doing what you love


Stand firm


When faced with death

Laugh at it's face

You know you've given your best

And that's what you've left behind


Stand firm


Life will go on

And your spirit will live on

Inspiring the ones to come

By the way you lived and died


A Poem by MVJ Simon. Copyright 2007

Thinking Afresh

The same old words

Churned and shuffled

Conveying meanings new



Tired rusty ideas

Squeezed out till

It’s flat and stale



Working at creation

No, that’s not the word

Adaptation



Taking what’s out there

Clothing naked emotions

Making it new



Playing with fire

Feelings and storms

Puzzles and scenes



Making no headway

Writing on and on

Got to think fresh



Tear it all out

Take a clean page

Start over again.
