Voltaire

The very impossibility in which I find myself to prove that God is not, discovers to me his existence.

The Possibility In Impossibility

Laughter is what comes to mind whenever I think of peoples' fear of impossibility. In life instances, there can always be delays, failed attempts not impossibility. It's only from a continuous approach do we get closer to perfection or perhaps excellence. Even the good-old city of Rome wasn't built in a day so as Noah's arch. Even in impossibility there's a possibility which further explains that anything is achievable or in other words attainable. A good believer should always equate impossibility to Cos 90. The word impossibility has to be cancelled from our dictionaries and deleted from our encyclopaedia softwares because it's a wrong theory conjured by 'evil philosophers'. Will we stand there and just watch an ' im ' inflection to prevent us from our possibility? ? Never! ~> Always remember that even in impossibility there's a possibility.

James Baldwin

Confronted with the impossibility of remaining faithful to one's beliefs, and the equal impossibility of becoming free of them, one can be driven to the most inhuman excesses.

Where Those Limitations Are

Why have you encased your feet,
In cement?

'I want to feel what it is like to run.'

But...
Wouldn't that now be impossible?

'For who?
You?
Or me? '

Well...
From my point of view,
What you attempt to do...
Is an impossibility.

'That's why I chose to encase 'my' feet,
In cement.
To prove to 'myself'...
Where those limitations are.'

I would not have done anything like that.

'And once again...
Whose dream is this? '

Un Amor

like a cliche
i must discharge
un amor

prove to me something
beyond the
ordinary lies beyond the usual excuses

let my heart beat some more
it is dying.

resuscitate me
this breathless existence

love dies too
and indifference may find a chance to grow

revive me
kiss me now and hug me and make me feel

a certain warmth
that is true not imaginary

make my fingers move
my body sway

tickle my sadness
and make me soar

find me wings to fly again.

Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence, but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both; this is an observation of the Middle Way.

In A Place Where Two Realities Can Not Exist

Like an only child please feed him.
Quell the fury of his never ending tantrum being.
Stop the heart from bleeding.
Cut it off at the source.
Out of the mind.
It doesn't exist.
Meditate and just think.
If wants are needs then their wouldn't be anything left for you and me.
Infinite of everything.
An physics impossibility.
To give you must take.
To take you must deny.
A shadow reining upon the glorious sunrise.
Blocking us from feeling those powerful rays.
Who will save the day, when two realities can not both exist.
Someone will suffer upon your pleasure.
You will suffer upon someone else's pleasure.
Written in a letter hidden deep buried beneath the heavens.
It speaks of so many truths.
So search and you just might find it.
But you still will never be able to prove it.
So it is a reality never accepted.
It is laying out in the open but still it will be rejected.
Another concept has just been intercepted.

Propose to any Englishman any principle, or any instrument, however admirable, and you will observe that the whole effort of the English mind is directed to find a difficulty, defect or an impossibility in it.

What Meaning?

you were with someone before
you were friends

though, somewhere there is that
wish for an intimacy

the impossibility is obvious with the
way hands held each other

then you went to different directions
as expected

you search for meaning and did not find it

you meet again
you remember but everything everything is totally different

of course, you forget, and proceed you way
into those other differences

you say, well, life is like that
you meet a friend, then a total stranger

no regrets, you keep that statement
you accept, there is nothing to find, same question:

what meaning is there?

Paved Over! Cemented

What steps have you taken,
To prove that you've made them?

Are the volume of your complaints,
Stored for future documentary?

Is the importance of your disapproval,
Strong enough to withstand the winds of time?

Will minds like yours today,
Find themselves praised tomorrow?
In a collective raised contribution.
Or will that hole you dig be dug so deep in sorrow...
Be paved over!
Cemented.

And the existence you believed lived,
Has too long bee dismissed...
To be reminisced as one remembered.
By anyone assigned to research,
These mindless mundane times now experienced.

And the sacrificing of common sense,
With an absence of forgiveness...
Has becomes as mechanical,
As the expression of someone's devotion to caring.
And the only one can do to compensate for one's loss...
Is to shake one's head.

What steps have you taken,
To prove that you've made them?
To leave cemented.

Any Good Gesture

You must be grateful for any good gesture
That has been offered to you for sure
Never think big or small for returning obligation
It is so when you are leading a delegation

In every aspect of life it stands tall
No matter how big you are or small
You got to say thank you with welcome
Whatever may be the result or outcome?

Try for a suitable word to reciprocate
If you retain within then it will suffocate
You will be burdened under obligation
That will be enough against personality and lead to negation

If you find no word for appreciation
Try to remain calm with mere reconciliation
Try to show that you care for every move
In times to come you may try and prove

I shall be first person to share grief
Even though I may be silent and brief
But what should I do if I find no expression?
Never mind but stay till the end with session

I shall wait for tears to come to the rescue
If situation becomes demanding and due
I shall speak no words but reciprocate
With smiling face and surely indicate

The words will have to match
Every move must adhere to and catch
The attention of others for fair response
As it will be key to your very much existence

Words are simplest way of carrying people
That may prove how much you are capable
Nothing will mar your success
than in the wake of some setbacks

Prove Your Love

Written by christine mcvie.
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooooh...
I want to be, inside your heart
Thats place, the place for me
But I could understand, it wont be easy
Youve got to prove, prove your love to me
Youve got to prove, prove your love to me
Like I say it aint easy
To let your heart run wild
So if you want to please me baby
Then dont act like a child
But I can understand, it won t be easy
Youve got to prove, prove your love to me
Youve got to prove, prove your love to me
It doesnt matter if youre far away
Or right here by my side
Thats the way I feel about it
We cant let the whole thing slide...
So if you cant see me
Right where you are
They why dont you send for me baby
By the nearest star
It wont be easy, and youve got to prove
Youve got to prove, prove your love to me
Youve got to prove, prove your love to me
Ooooohhhh, oooooohh, ooooooh...

Not exact

Shadows are not exact but real
You can’t force it or conceal
It may be even longer than size
You must think it wise

It may accompany where you go and turn
You stand, sleep or even run
It has same strength and reflection
Think over it and base your action

A tree’s shadow proves it is standing.
A bird follows its shadow and knows it is flying.
My shadow proved that I have existence
I am living in present tense

What has it do with my being on earth?
I cease to exist upon natural death
I follow on every step and prove
That I am real and follow or move

The story doesn’t end with non existence
Its impact may follow even without insistence
People may follow on what has been left behind
They will try to know the shadow of wisdom and find

So it stays even if you are dead
Your message is accepted and widely read
Single word is enough to give impetus or lead
You have formed some link by providing the thread

With A Patience To Them To Give

It is difficult to guide anyone through,
The using of their own acquired abilities.
And to answer the question...
What does it take to create imagination,
That should originate in one's mind?
I find that to be an impossibility to do.

Although I have been told...
If I chose to be less selfish,
And more accessible to others...
I could show them what it is 'I' do,
If I provided for them the interest.
With a patience to them to give.

Unless It Disappears

The lack of acknowledgement present,
Does not change the existence of a thing!
Or bring a climax to wondering!
Even if occupied space is ignored,
It will still be there!
Black, colorized, white and/or devoid of air.
The intention of its existence...
Does not rely on an attention mentioned!
The purpose and its value,
Is to share with those aware.
Accepting or rejecting it...
Does 'it' stop with feelings to care?
To prove or disapprove,
That which 'is' IS there!
Nothing is going to change it at all...
Unless it disappears.
And that's not likely to happen here,
Even if there is a sudden silence of darkness...
That shuts light from eyes,
And blocks the hearing of ears!

The Essence Of The Waterfall

the essence of the waterfall
its beauty
the reason for its existence
is the falling

day and night it falls
and falls and falls
you cannot stop it

let it be let it be
like the way you are falling
from the skies of your dreams

it is your essence
it is the beauty of your existence
it is the meaning
of your being you

let it be let it be
find the bottom of it all

you shall find rest there.

If They Have Time Like You To Waste

You would like to find something hidden,
In my background.
To expose and despise.
Wouldn't you?
Something you discovered,
To prove my life is based upon lies!
Wouldn't you?
Graduating yourself from whispered gossip,
To embarrassing full public announcements...
Wouldn't you?
But what is there to prove in those activities that you do?
Especially when I've been several steps ahead of you!
Making sure everything I've done is there!
And easy for anyone to find.
If they have time like you to waste.
And a mind that generates in dim space.
