Living Poems
Why is there suffering in the world?
by Tiffany Lưu
we say candles light
but not that the room darkened
countless stars shine bright
yet space had never faded
glow would not be known
when there’s no gloom to be shown
flowers and rainbows
mere myths mortals blown

The Call of the Loon
by Drew Schoenfeld
I’ll save the page
Until the words are true
Your love ain’t right
You ain’t you
The road is gray
It don’t feel good, but
There’s no other road
To see these golden woods

Living Wrong
by Drew Schoenfeld
It now seems
There are consequences
To living wrong
Only one choice
Replicates
Enough to make
The difference
Enough to wake
The cosmos
For a midnight

In Decline
by Jesus Betancourt
Democracies are just an experiment
Republics don't offer a guarantee
History repeats past to the present
Civilizations are inclined towards declivity
In every existing society
Certain factors are responsible
For potential destruction of every community
It's why the prediction of extinction is possible
Out of time
by Simon Deeley
Who am I to decide?
Who am I to choose who lives and dies?
All boats float on a rising tide
I see what’s worthy
And this scurvey sea dog
Is not so impervious
To the ravages of time any more.
Any more? Any more for any more?
Last orders at the bar
Then we’ll show you the door.

To Samantha on LIving
by Peter Dr Lim
Mail to a Young Woman Who Wrote to me in Social Media
Dear Samantha,
Don't rush, enjoy every moment as you move along, create your own rhythm and pace, don't look to others, trust yourself, be a friend of life, open your heart, embrace truth and beauty---
life is a long journey---there are many moments to be cherished, also many that upset but every step forward is a lesson in living.
As long as you don't lose faith, you will fill your life with joy and meaning. Best wishes
