Moral authority is never retained by any attempt to hold on to it. It comes without seeking and is retained without effort.

Like a birds
Like bird a man too
Finds worth that is true
Surging ahead lays the success
World is open with all its access
Only to end up with satisfaction and joy
Rest all is open for us to enjoy
How we seek and how it is attained
What the moral authority virtually retained
We have to learn a lot from birds and animals
How much happiness they have with new born arrivals?
Later on the life comes to some change
As we go on to loose some pounds with age
Poems are gift of words directly from heaven
They may be formed some times out of tunes
It may not loose its charm and hold
As it may reap good harvest and gold
Poems from heart come always with deep meaning
I have special care and attention with almost leaning
There is lot more to understand and learn
To give away nothing but something to earn

The soul is retained in it only by the prayer.
Time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have retained of them.

I was an observer. I liked to listen rather than openly express myself. This trait is something that I've retained over the years.

She seemed to mean what she said. She said pretty much this: I retained some lawyers, I have to move on with my life, I am divorcing you, and then she added, I need money.

Love more Love
Forget the tranquil long song
Designed to feel
From certain beat
That is gone
And demand more for what
You have missed
Where lyric verbs
Like I love you and I love you not
Cannot be retained by tears
But rather by that simplest remembrance
Of war and death
The last conjunctions of a great heart
Only the wounded bird should be
Able to hold all.

Our moral authority is as important, if not more important, than our troop strength or our high-tech weapons. We are rapidly losing that moral authority, not only in the Arab world but all over the world.

On the basis of the familiar experience that that which is learned with difficulty is better retained, it would have been safe to prophesy such an effect from the greater number of repetitions.

A Time To Die
to survive to be alive at any cost is not desirable
there is a time to pass on with nobility retained
causes still worth dying for in cause of freedom

The individual makes a clear effort to define moral values and principles that have validity and application apart from the authority of the groups of persons holding them and apart from the individual's own identification with the group.

Those of us who were brought up as Christians and have lost our faith have retained the sense of sin without the saving belief in redemption. This poisons our thought and so paralyses us in action.

Innocence is a bliss
I wish I withheld my ignorance.
Then I would have retained my innocence,
That admitted less suspicion,
And less tension but more peace.
A stress less life is the bliss

Notes From Dante's House Of Metaphors
along the alley
leading to the living room of your house
you put a very
fragile jar
it is empty
i walk casually there upon
your invitation
and i trip upon it
and it rolls away from us
i run to hold it back
not wanting it broken
i catch it and give it back to you
and you smile
we drink to something left
unbroken
we feast on things retained
we choose the flowers that
we have grown in the garden
we keep the silence
of long years still unforgotten
