Sightless Substance

Ghosts with no substance flit across my mind,
Jiggle they the knob, keys seek they to find.
They with no substance, spirits that are no more,
Want to enter in through memories closed door.
Shadows now shifting, no longer with meaning,
Rattle the windows in their unseemly seemings.
The past heaves upon my somber, tired soul,
And all my days do they quietly show.
Memories ache and love draws deep,
Upon my entrenched soul and my tower keep.
Oh immortal with a mortal’s bound soul,
Emptiness within, its fullness does know.
And I a fool to the time at hand,
My day fades away in the timeless land.
Give me this day Your daily bread,
So that I may not sojourn in the
land of the dead.
Let me not grasp an empty hand,
But let us walk forth, God and man.”
― Douglas Laurent

― Naseha Sameen

“Love is a choice. Either we choose to behave lovingly toward others....or not; either we conduct ourselves in ways that enhance our relationship....or not. But we should be aware that genuine love requires effort. Simply put, if we wish to build lasting relationship, we must be willing to do our part.

Building lasting relationship requires compassion, wisdom, empathy, kindness, courtesy, and forgiveness ( lots of forgiveness). If that sounds like work, it is – which is perfectly okay, since the rewards of love always outweigh the costs.
