So empty is the page
So listless is the soul
So morbid is the age
So deepened is the hole
So dull I see the light
So cold now is the night
So life is void of bliss
So now it’s come to this.

Beautiful Hurt – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

Beautiful Hurt
Stocking fire,
my hands were burned,
you smiled
afterwards,
meanwhile, the agony
was beautiful hurt.

Eternity
Hold me close to your soul,
hold me so close
that there is no space to abut,
you lost in my embrace
and I dissolved in your charm,
let us stay forever young
beyond words and time
till eternity
in each other’s serene heart

Lest we forget…75 years since Dday
I read about you on the pages
Of my history textbook
Saw documentaries that move me to tears…
The young and the brave
Who did not cave
And fought for my freedom…
I salute you, as we celebrate
75 years since D day!
Lest we forget!

Estuary of Flowers
In honor of the fallen … lest we forget
Facing death
I step back from the light
into life’s darkness
The nights
after my death
my wife rocks
herself to sleep
in my favorite chair.
On the beach
I want to fly but fall like
a silent prayer.
My limbs are an anchor
as I slip beneath the surface.
Once struggling palms lie flat
as gentle waves rock me.
Seaweed strands of hair mingle
with the sigh of my breath,
I grasp the hands of my
companions,
my only thing of value.
Everything beautiful is here,
all that was lost.
Birds chorus to the stones that
mark the resting place of a
thousand warriors at peace in an
estuary of flowers.

The One Thing You Can’t Do if You Want to Reach Your Goal – Daily Quote
Everyone knows Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, searching for a trade route to the Far East by sailing west. What most don’t realize is Columbus completed four voyages across the Atlantic. On his final trip, his most ill-fated voyage, he explored the coast of Panama. He missed discovering the Pacific Ocean, which lay twenty miles across the isthmus of Panama. The obstacles, hardships, and distractions he navigated to chart the paths for those who followed him, overshadows his failure to reach his intended destination.
Columbus had a singular purpose. He was persistent, petitioning the heads of Europe to fund his voyage until winning the support of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile. His ultimate objective was bigger than he was. His life and trials are an example for us to remember when we face difficulties as we pursue our ambitions. They say to reach your goals you must be…

A journey of awakenings
No two lives can be compared
For they are not the same
Not even at birth, although they are humans
The life experiences along lifetimes
Decide the nature of the being
And nurture then interpolates itself
And love makes way for itself
To flow into the being.
In the web of complexities of life
The being starts and courses its journey
In the dance of the elements
The being senses the truth of life in the living.
In searching and seeking
In awe and wonder
In beauty and grace
In the chaos and challenges
In the success and failures
It finds its bearings and builds resilience
Every life aligns towards its calling in time
Seeking decreases accepting increases
To refine the process of awareness
In the journey of conscious awakenings.
