Are you my reflection?
I thought I was perfection
With bloated ego and full of go
Spreading humour, fun and sunshine
U look not even like a poor imitation
Barren of any imagination
Lacking even gumption
To get at least approbation
Leave alone adulation and admiration.
You preen at yourself
To find only misery and failures,
Faded delusions and haunting memories
Of repeated misadventures
That dispelled all your notions
How colourful this world is.
I still find rainbows to chase
Milky Way to prance and dance
Gentle winds to carry me away
To lands of milk and honey
Filled with music and harmony
And with pretty maidens in plenty
Dressed to forever please my eye
Reciting poems embedded with garnets
Wisdom, wit, sparkle and everything you name it
To make every day very sweet
And my entire life a big feast and treat
To be savoured daily in pieces and bits.
You cannot be my reflection
But only remnants of destruction
Of a dream that shattered
And hopes that collapsed
A soaring bird with wings clipped
Run away before I cast a stone
Or hurl my weapon of destruction.

Good Work, Dear Rama Raoji!
'let the dead past , bury its dead!'
We can make our lives sublime;
How can an imperect person
live a perfect life inan
imperfect world?
There is a great hiatus between what we aspired and what we finally did.'
God knows and sees our works in the background of our true environment
ad our innate weaknesses.
Why to worry or to feel guilty at all?
Life is beautifully made by god for us to surely enjoy, to the extent we best can.
regards,
dr john celes
