Only the flexibly creative person can really manage the future, Only the one who can face novelty with confidence and without fear.

Add To This Spice With Equal Excitement
Have you ever been mistaken as shallow?
Because of an image your presence gives?
Have you ever been thought of as less than human,
And more like a novelty to entertain those inquisitive.
And those private conversations,
You conduct in the strictest of confidence...
Soon becomes those whispers gossiped,
With you as the topic on misiformed lips.
You will get over it,
IF there is no attempt to refute innuendos.
Instead...
Be creative.
Start some outlandish rumors of your own making.
Why go it alone?
Add to this spice with equal excitement.
No one will ever know...
How you keep rejuvenating your peace.
Why go it alone?
In your home why be the one up late,
Because of what others say...
Keeps you from a restful sleep.
Be creative.
Add to this spice with equal excitement.
Remember...
No one will ever know...
How you keep rejuvenating your peace.
Or how you manage to appear so youthful!

Positive Thinker
Am I a good thinker?
Can I see what others don't?
Am I a daring person?
Can I do what others do not like to do?
Or others are afraid to do?
Am I a creative and imaginative person?
Can I see the invisible?
Can I feel the intangible?
Can I achieve the impossible?
Am I a contemplating person?
Am I a self-reflective person?
Am I a confidence person?
Am I a self-reliance person?
Can I be a perfect person?
Can I be a clever person?
Can I be a smart thinker person?
Above all,
I prefer to be
A simple person
With a positive attitude,
Not only accept positive things,
But willing to accept negative things.

In the future, instead of striving to be right at a high cost, it will be more appropriate to be flexible and plural at a lower cost. If you cannot accurately predict the future then you must flexibly be prepared to deal with various possible futures.

Perceptions
At what cost,
Did you manage to keep your balloon afloat?
At whose expense,
Is that smile upon your face...
Permanently etched,
Not to show a trace of fear.
At what cost,
Did you manage to keep your balloon afloat?
Who kept the clouds away from your shine?
And...
How is this happening all the time,
When I am certain what you see does not exist.
Who did you listen to that convinced you to do this?
And how high is that balloon you see flying?
At what cost,
Did you manage to keep your balloon afloat?
At whose expense,
Is that smile upon your face...
Permanently etched,
Not to show a trace of fear.
Just how near or far are you,
From my own learned perceptions?
And sometimes confused and conflicted by deception.

The Brave Fear
A fear that dispels all other fears
A fear that conquers all other fears
A fear that elevates
A fear that sustains
The brave fear
To have it is to fear
To maintain it is to obey
To fear the Creator
To obey His majesty
The brave fear
A fear that defeats that of death
A fear that is from God’s providence
A fear that imparts confidence
A fear that imparts mirth
The brave fear
This fear from the Lord comes
This fear to the Lord directs
All your being and resources
All your future in His hands it places
The brave fear
Fear this fear not
Possess this fear
Buy this fair fear
With all your fair lot
The brave fear
To buy this fear
Wise is to grow
Security you bear
Your life to reach the brow
The brave fear
The brow of living
In eternity peacefully
The brow of being
What God created you to be fully
The brave fear
The brave fear is this
That all other fears you may have
Exchange them with this
That Christ is there you to save
From all other coward fears

I Am The Future
When does a dream become a nightmare?
When do we do what must be done?
When do we stand and face the future?
When there is nowhere left to run?
And you've got to learn
Just how to survive
You've got to learn
How to keep your dream alive
Take a look at my face
I am the future
How do you like what you see?
Take a look at my face
I belong to the future
And you belong to me
When does a dream become a nightmare?
When do we learn to live with fear?
When we cry out for some salvation?
Why is it no one seems to hear?
You've got to learn
It's up to you
If you can learn
That the dream just might come true
Take a look at my face
I am the future
How do you like what you see?
Take a look at my face
I belong to the future
The world belongs to me, yeah
Take a look at my face
I am the future
Now, how do you like what you see?
Take a look at my face
I belong to the future
And the world it belongs to me
It belongs to me
It's all mine
Just take a look at my face
I'm the future, no disgrace
Take a look at my face
This world belongs to... to me

Fear to tear.
What is anger?
An expression of fear.
We march with greed
And stop with fear.
Less confidence, more fear.
Confidence gives composure.
That in turn dispel anger.
Anger is fear that you must tear.

In my own cage
I am prisoner in my own cage
I have no courage to write down on page
It may amount to disgrace
I shall have no courage to face
I am not sure about other people
They may be clever and able
I am still feeling shy of admitting
I can have no moral courage of committing
It may be known drawback
Still it is felt by and spoken at the back
It consciously bites and hurts
When we receive short reply and very curt
How can I look out side world for help?
When I am totally helpless and unable to sleep
It engulfs me with torturous feeling
I am afraid and still unwilling
I may gather the strength to come out sincerely
Such a stage had never occurred to me and faced rarely
I am still confident that I may do it fairly
I see dark clouds at distance very clearly
Let me gear up for any eventuality
I think that will reflect well on my ability
Nothing should be considered sent by heavenly or Godly
I shall gain confidence and face it boldly
Let me brace up for future challenge
Have enough guts to face and manage
I think self defeat is grave sign
One must pick up boldly and resign
It does not require good use of words
One must think positive and look forward
I think I am lacking that punch and drive
That is why I fear the sea to make deep dive
It is pity and self built fear
Why person should feel guilty with tears?
It has nothing to do with individual’s nature
One must analyze self and try to secure
I am person of little defeatist tendency
I know it is not good but suffer its frequency
It is obstacle in progress and real hindrance
One must think over it and give more importance
I must try to lend my ears and listen to what others might say
I should not keep aloof and prefer isolation to remain away
It is one of the saddest things if one confines to dark
It is bad sign and not considered as good art
I shall mix with natural surrounding
Visit in open air and start to correspond
As I am natural lover and very fond
There will be natural appeal from colorful fishes of pond
If they can live peacefully and with freedom within
I am human being with lots of areas to swim
Free in take of air and vast areas to roam
Let me change myself completely along with flower’s boom

No Outside Force
No outside force can imposed
When trust in Him is reposed
The divine happiness is seen of face
Why person should go to other force?
Happiness and peach is well within
It is always felt in loss or win
When no one is immortal here
Why think of more and keep fear?
Fearless soul does exist
Time and again it will insist
Strike it hard and with resolve prevail
You will get through and not fail
You are totally fit in your filed
The inner strength is already held
Only know yourself and try to propagate
Everything can’t be left to the fate
Inner soul may revolt against false confidence
As many things may lead you to believe with incidences
Some of the things may go wrong when you embark
As it may have over confidence but lack poor start
So have no fear and act as per conscience
Even that has been proved by science
Every action may have equal and opposite reaction
If that is not matched with positive action
You will not have peace outside
That is within you to confide
Its area is enlarged and very wide
Don’t far even if with unfavorable tide

Confidence
Not easily refined or defined,
Is confidence.
Nor is it cropped to pluck,
Off from a Sun drenched vine.
To slowly savor for the flavor.
Confidence is a development.
A work in progess.
Not recited from studied print.
Nor listening as lectured...
From a podium will convince,
The taking of notes...
Will provoke it into existence.
Confidence,
Similar to experience...
Is something done,
That is seldom pleasant...
When it comes as a personal delivery.
And...
Most times arrogance is misrepresented for it.
However,
It does take obedience and strength to listen.
To then comprehend that failure does not mean to stop,
To yield and repeat flops.
As a sign that ambition obtained has been dropped.
No,
It does not!
Caution perhaps,
To proceed at your own risk.
But confidence does not allow obstacles to prevent,
Progress.
Or the jumping over hurdles.
Since each hurdle cleared...
Removes the fear to face another.
Clarifying anyone's doubt about confidence adopted!

Anxiety of Fear
Though it only takes few seconds
It doesn’t make the burden in my heart
Less its weight
There’s always an unseen wall
That called fear
Fear of rejection
Fear of disappointment
Fear of out of control
Fear of unknown
Maybe it’s enough
Maybe it’s not enough
Maybe it’s should be enough
Maybe it’s never enough
Though I have confidence
Though I have lot experience
It doesn’t make my stomach not ache
Or my feet lighter
There’s always a cold feeling
That called anxiety
Anxiety of acceptance
Anxiety of failure
Anxiety of future
Anxiety of unreasonable
Maybe it’s right
Maybe it’s not right
Maybe it could be right
Maybe it won’t ever be right

Above Sixty.. Part One
Not all people can face it bravely
But some do it exceptionally
Utilize time for own happiness
And bring joy for all on faces
World is not limited to youngsters alone
Lot more is to be done on wider screen
World has become so small and come quite near
I find nothing wrong if you see it without fear
Why age should bother it at all?
Lot many troubled people are around to call
Same interest but having no solution
How to ask and where to ask is only confusion
If you literary person then heaven is on flank
Your water can flow on both the banks
You can love any one you like at ease
You have lot more to explain and release
I find lovely flowers of different colors
They all bear smiles and accord honor
Not for being aged or time pass figure
But certain clues to be used for future
I find brightness in their eyes and wonder
What are all things they are missing in lightening thunder?
There are enough of opportunities and sky is the limit
I feel lack of warmth and frankness to greet
I find all of them longing for peace
Little words of appreciation and praise
This takes them to new height
To think elaborately and right
So nothing to worry about growing of an age
Person can well think of it and manage
World has come to our door and opened
Only you gear up and have brain little sharpened
You try to sell your vintage wagon
Present old rifle for Kalashnikov AK-47 as deadly weapon
You may know meaning of satire and jokes
That may bring smile on face with masterly stroke
