The Way

To please
And be pleased
OR
To face
And to have a face?
IF
To please is cowardice
To face is bravery
IF
To please is bravery
To face is cowardice
BUT
When the 'IF's are no more
To face is the WAY.

If pruning is the way to growth, if pain is gain, why count the lost joys.....just face it and have a face!!

Ripples

A raindrop into -
The  calm stream fell;
Generated wings all around
Seeking and yearning
To touch the shores of
The unknown, the eternal...
Each wing set on flight
Unto a direction different,

From the centre known

Aiming the centre unknown...
Many a wings born and faded
But for which DEAD
Would have been
The stream.
