Choose the road you love

Life is simple. Find something you enjoy. Then do it.

                  Nirvana-The supreme happiness that according
                  to Buddhism comes when all passion, hatred and
                  delusion die out and the soul is released from the
                  necessity of further purification.)

                                    

          
                                A prayer for Nature

                      Thank you lord of life and death.


                      Thank you for the fresh water to drink.
  
               
                      Thank your for the clean air to breath.   


                      Thank you for the green Earth that supplies shelter and food.


                      Allow me to protect and give respect to Nature.


                      Give me wisdom and common sense to do what is right.

  Choose the road you love.



I sit at the crossroad of a life.
I looked back and thank the Lord of life and death
for my life.


I tell the young people around me.


"The Nirvana of a blessed man is to loved a woman.
Held many children.
Celebrated life and having many friends."



"A wise man don't blaspheme the people who held
joy and love over all things.
They will be the missed souls."


I light a candle.
Remembering missed family and friends.
I thank them in prayer for their gifts of love
and friendship.


Regrets will be many in a life.
Forsaken dreams and lost battles.


Only remedy is to get up.
Gather your hopes and dreams.
Choose the road you love.


Kindred spirits dance in my sweet dreams.
Sweet fragments of faces of kind woman.
Exquisite ladies who gave me gifts of long
embraces and sweet kisses.


Dances by the midnight moon.
Create a paradise for a man to revive when
he is old and had too much time.


The memories of long legs, blue eyes and
flowing red hair over my body.
Still can bring a smile today.


Blunders in a  life and love can leave you disappointed.


Only cure is to celebrate each new day.


Love, Dance and Laugh.

Choose the road you love.

"Love, Dance and Laugh.

AWESOME poem sweetie! Love it with all of my heart!

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

A beautiful prayer...........

[Enigma]

Your poem evokes the sense of 'carpe diem' beautifully blending it with nostaligia about the good ol' days. But the past is never stainless for there is always something to look back to and regret. But as you said, mistakes are needed to be left behind. The guilt forsaken and the lesson learnt and off we go on life's twisted path once more.

Beautiful work. :)

this poem, and these picture make me wonder what you where like growing up, when you where over seas, where you the way you are today? or did you find yourself along the way? each piece you share with us here on the cafe, gives us a closer glimps into who you are, without giveing it all away, you are an inspiration to us writers who are still comming out of our shells. another incredible poem, from what seems to be an incredible, and full (not even close to being over) life, i can only hope to have a life that is as interesting, and real, as the one you portray in each of your writes. Thank You.

Another wonderful uplift. You remind us of our responsibility to LIVE and embrace happy times, ones to treasure always.
Excellente! Thank you.

Those last three stanzas are classic ("Kindred spirits... ...a smile today.)
The whole is super, top draw!

This is such a good theme. So often we choose only the road we think we have to, and do what we deem necessary. This is a profound reminder that it's never too late to change roads, and that to have happiness, this is really what we must do...not do what everyone else thinks we should. We only get one shot at this thing called life, and we will be filled with regret and longing if we choose the road of the expected and mundane. Nicely done!
