~ The Poetry Of Another Time ~

The fragrance of an orchid,
wafting through the air,
reminds me of another time,
and of a beauty rare.
The melodic strains of an orchestra,
sailing through the night,
Remind me of another time,
and of a lovely sight.
Associations such as these,
fill my thoughts with rhyme,
and I can't help but long for,
the poetry of another time.
A time when life made sense to me.

 Before The End Of My Journey ~

Before the end of my journey
May I reach within myself
The one which is the all,
Leaving the outer shell
To float away with the drifting multitude
Upon the current of chance and change.

Today is one day of your life,
tomorrow one day less.
We forget so easy,
think that all is endless.
Listen - stand still,
look around - and dont forget that,
Today is one day of Your life,
tomorrow one day less.
