It’s not the clapping that stirs you, not the glow of some imagined end, but the quiet conviction to bear it all, to ensure no one else has...

The blissful ignorance of self-denial as a means to self-awareness and inner meaning denies the selfless bliss of service and love for others. To make less of self, to cease selfish cravings and desires, is more about striving to satisfy the needs of others than to blast away at what you think you need to satisfy and satiate, your own inner selfish needs. Self-denial is...

Wolmarian Girl
On a busy Marescaux Road where No one cared for an injured dog, Where motorists do not come to a slow, And honking horns hammer As impatient traffic competes toe to toe, There on the asphalted heat The painful cry of a wounded creature Pierced through the peak-hour hub of the street. Out into...

Beagles’ breath I love now as I awake. Your wet tongue keenly laps my chin and brow. I know your love is true and full, not fake. You impart your joy and love to me now. The battles of the night have bled away. And my eyes can blink back to life once more. “Good girl!” in gravel tones aloud I...

Selflessness
i was thinking about us I mean the immense amount of people like-minded and very similar desires and then I asked myself if what sets us apart and determines our individual success it's just the strength of our will or the end result is achieved by our level of selflessness...

Selflessness Through Selfish Living
People in this world taking a stand over helpless animals being tested for human products, unproven and possibly unconnected effects on climate change, sat with knickers twisted over Trump and Brexit and eating anything but meat so as not to bring harm to animals, protecting donkeys used to maul, protesting gay, equal and gender rights...

The Steadfast Vampire
There was a steadfast vampire, who never chose his fate. And when encouraged by his peers to kill, as was his trait, He shook his head, and staunchly said, “A life, I will not take.” “For yours, you will,” they laughed, so shrill. So sure that he would fail. But on the night he starved and died, their will to...

Ominous Brushstrokes
The strokes of angry waves painted, Beneath a sky of charcoal gray. Did you feel it even then, The water's rise above your head? Bobbing up and down, Slowly losing ground, As they tried to hold on To the clothes which become Your coffin. Knowing this you went anyway, To try and save Someone you never knew. It's hard to believe, But where you weren't before, I now...
