seek the real value in life

Many a poor man resides in a large house. Material wealth is artificial and transient. The weight of such will begin owning you, you will become blinded and imprisoned by it. Change your values and you will soon realise that which cannot be bought is the most valuable of all.

nature is the teacher

Like the clouds we must learn to flow with the passing of time and like the waves we must crash to create the new. Nature is the teacher not the classroom.

washed out

Washed out

As the last of tears fill wine glasses to brim

Waves of wind chime each.

Like icicles they hang in fresh breezed air

Before dropping and shattering

Against cold marble floor.

Enough to create rivers

With crash and roar

Memories are swept

From coastline shore

Long were those days

And few are they now

Left only clouds

And a sweet mountain dew.
